I gotta be honest, this v0.26.0 update is taking a massive wrong turn. Most of us started playing this game specifically because of its simplicity. It was a clean, straightforward two click game where you could log in, hit your daily routines, support your country, and carry on with your day.
Now? With position based map mechanics, region by region movement costs, stamina bars, oil management, and random wooden cases scattered across the map, it feels like we are slowly creeping into eRepublik territory. We don't need over complicated layers of micromanagement to enjoy a browser game. If players wanted to manage supply chains just to move one region over, they'd play a full blown hardcore simulator.
If the devs are set on forcing complex features like stamina systems and regional positioning onto us, the absolute least they could have done is release a comprehensive video tutorial explaining how all this works in practice. Dropping wall of text patch notes and expecting everyone to figure out optimal routing, stamina refill rates, and drop budgets on the fly is a bad call.
