Spent a lot of time re-building the city of Ur. Now whenever I try to load the save it gets stuck on the loading screen. I think my save files may have gotten corrupted somehow. Has anyone had this issue? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Just bought the game and doing the campaign. In the very first campaign I got a message to say I can't pay the salary. The message says be careful with my grain reserve. What does that mean? How exactly does this work? What do I need and how much do I need?...

This has been driving me into the mud and keeping me from getting over 2k citizens and building the big temple. I'm assuming its a big part of the game I haven't got grips on yet and thats why I have 50 hours and no competence in this game.

I was considering buying this and according to my research it tracks many different populations - adults, immigrants and jobless - but male and female population is not part of the simulation, right? All births are happening by non-binary replication in this game, am I right?...

I have 11 hours on this game and still can't expand past 1100 people. I noticed also my ox transports don't create oxes from cattle. I also don't understand what causes workshops and market stalls to build.
