A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Tbf, this may be symptomatic. In real life, medieval "cities" had less people than many modern "nothing exciting ever happens here" rest stops. You may have reached a legitimate logistic limit of the time period.
Interesting point. However medieval cities with populations of 70-100k were not uncommon (like say Prague or Antwerp). The problem I'm talking about happens WAY before that. Like even at a couple of thousand things pretty obviously grind to a halt and the population becomes more and more miserable. It's just depressing because you do all this work and then nothing works and you can't do anything about it. In real life homes would be bought and sold as people needed to move to other areas which would solve the runaway commuting effect. Maybe what Foundation needs is an estate agent/realtor :)
