Now there is an idea for one of your trailers; 1,000,000 unique citizens all in a group and at the end of the ad, dispersing in all different directions.

IN order for this game to sell more than 10,000 copies, developers must make this game robust for the likes of computers of the 99% of people, who've not yet migrated to tablets and toys as such.
That means, this game must somehow run on a computer that takes a good few moments to open an internet browser, and on a computer, that takes a few moments, to process a 20 page microsoft Word document.

In fact, i'm pretty astounded and amazed by the sheer skill and balls of the developers, to optimize the code this good, to promise 1,000,000 individual citizents driving about, shopping and such. And yet some of you want even more and more on top of all the graphic intenisty and background city calculations as there are already?

I mean, yeah, sure, don't get me wrong, I'd totally buy this game for sure, if it allowed 10 million + citizents wandering about in your sprawling city on my 10 year old PC, it's just that I understand that devs probably didn't pull 1 million pop-cap out of their ass, but out of their experiences with the engine capabilities .

And have any of you even thought about how to fit all these millions of people on the game map. The game map i mean, no offence, is nanoscopic compared to real world map of a big city, so i don't think you'd zone 1 million residentials that easily on these game maps, unless you want to push this game to the limit and cover every inch of the map with huge skyscrapers just to max the population in that 36km^2 space.

You can find the system specs here, a computer that has issues opening a web browser will unfortunately struggle with CSL too :/

Have you ever been on a computer (even a modern one) that opens a web browser in under a second? Because I haven't! Particularly browsers with many tabs to load.

I don't think it really matters about the computer too much. It's really the strength of the internet connection it's on.

Yup, this one.

I am Browser is installed on my SSD's in Raid 0 (although 2nd gen) and I have a pretty good connection, so I don't see where it couldn't start in under one second.

But started doesn't mean it's done loading, is it?

Although, I usually run a browser with 80-100 tabs, and that starts up in 1-2 seconds. Then it begins loading the webpages. So it usually takes 5-6 seconds before it's ready to go, because it also needs to load my list of tabs.

Aaand here we see why yours is slow Why, WHY do you have so many tabs? I get stressed when I have more than 20.

Tree style tabs, my man. Excellent to manage many tabs.

 

[Person012345]

Mine does and I have 42 tabs open right now (although I have been in excess of 300 before).

 

[Person012345]

100 might push it over a second, but that wasn't really what this was about, I for one took the original comment to mean a clean browser (which I can load in a fraction of a second).

What addon do you use for this?

Tree style tab. And NoScript to increase performance of most websites.

Brrr, firefox... Darn, can't find any good looking chrome equivalent.

The game shouldn't have a population cap. Rather, it should adjust the animations to suit, so the game's performance isn't affected.

Good idea actually!
