It's definitely a lot of info, but since time only moves when you double-click, it gives ample time to consider your choices. I didn't get super far, so I can't say much for balance yet. The bug was indeed a crash, but it seemed out of nowhere, like shortly after doing the thing that gives guard renown. The main thing is that oddly enough each mechanic shows up right as the previous one is understood. Like, as soon as you understand how the money for food works, you have enough time to get a few stats. When you have a few stats, stat requirements show up, as soon as you have a few of requirements done, it shows things having end dates. That's shortly before where the crash was, so dunno much past that at the moment.
