I remember when SimCity came out and I spent 40 hours on a region and the always-online server "forgot" where it was saved to and I lost all the data and progress. It sucks that Firaxis is joining that club.This has basically blown the whole playthrough for me. Settlement connections are a total mess! Not allowing us to handle them so idiots can be coddled is absurd, and whatever logic exists behind the automated system must have been coded by an alien being from another dimension. Out of all the crap we're paying to put up with I think this takes the cake.
