True. That could be deadly with a sim since the amount of detail grows like crazy as you build it up. Even the amount of RAM it would take to store all those polygons sounds insane!

Yeah, I don't know for sure if that's it, but every 4x game that has it tends to get bogged down.

It's just insane because it's for a trivial benefit but every studio seems to think it's worth it. That's the only reason I have doubts, it's such an easy fix surely somone would have noticed.
