Looks pretty nice, and I am very much looking forward to someday playing through your make.
Now something that I must say, but know that it may not be universally shared.
I see you are making a 3D game. But there is a very particular reason why games like Crusader Kings/Europa Universal is/Civilization/Rimworld/Prison Tycoon/Factorio are 2D. They are inherently numbers games, and appeal to specific crowds. These are ultimately tabletops or rather very complex spreadsheets and ultimately as a player you re being statistician. There many successful franchiseare s on the contrary, like Tropico, StarCraft, SimCity but after playing through all of them, I've realised that fancy 3D worlds, while very pretty, take the toll on cognitive processing. Dwarf Fortress, while 3D with multiple layers, forces player to look at, deal with and think about only one at a time, with very distinct..uh..visuals and they do the job better than anything else.
Ultimately you want to convey the information to player as fast as possible, make it as instantly identifiable, and intractable as possible. Graphics, especially faux 3D like Ck3 or Civ4/5/6 are pretty nice and help with that ultimate goal, not hinder.
Just my 2c, and something to think about. Be assured that I'll play your game regardless (I spent many an hours on Tropico series, along with every other game listed above. No regrets :))
