Children are definitely missing. How can a game aim to be historical accurate with no children in the towns?
There is no problem with children. Games like The Witcher or Skyrim do have children too and no problems with them!
And the resources can be tweaked. This game has a 64 bit engine and today a CPU has 8 or 16 cores with 16 or 32 threads. But here we have the shit console limitations again! Don’t care about consoles. Make a game for PC first and then lower it down for consoles. Or make a “Remastered Edition” with children for PC and future consoles.
