Great post! I have been wanting to try this game for a while, still amassing funds to start a small village.
One pet peeve I have with it though is the fact that the immigrant card reduces popularity and rises crime chance, that's extremely xenophobic. Immigration is a necessary tool specially in countries with reduced populational growth.
I could understand if the card name was refugee instead, seeing that normally refugees come from war ridden or impoverished areas and thus being more inclined to criminality for a series of reason raging from social differences to lack of necessary skills in this new society they feed to.
Anyway, great post as always, the cartel excels in quality content!
