I mean... this guy's got a point...
@rajavno1, the forums aren't necessarily the best place to find contrary proof... it's certainly available; it's seeing past the bullshit to the critical message(s), right? Beginners often overlook the answers they seek & then double down by being argumentative w players who've learned via the long game... an example: keeping event buildings from lower Ages in your city... many beginners (myself included) cannot & will not see the value in this advice... & will argue against it...
When you extrapolate the # of recurrences a question has been asked, answered & then argued, it may be easier to understand the "snarky" responses... & then you have players who seem to be brand new to the game providing advice that's contrary to any long-term approach... but, that begets more arguing & debate... that's only really understood when you get there, wherever your strategy takes you...
It's kind of like trauma. You don't really understand the impact until you've lived it... when you have, you understand it in a way that can't be explained, right? Not to be extreme, but that's kind of this game... the strategies employed (& there are many from which to choose) can take years to learn & establish & until you do, having people tell you what/how/why doesn't always make sense...
Anyway, that's probably enough for the soapbox. Welcome to the game. I'm not the most helpful player... I figure it's your game to play & I'm not here to tell you how... but, feel free to @ me whenever. I'll tell you what I see & let you take it from there.
