Field notes
The strategy mode frames limits of acceptable change as a normative choice, then says players are evaluated against the criterion they set. Its listed disruptions include cruise traffic and mountain rescue, alongside weather, viral events, and landslides. The separate route adventure is organized into ten stages and offers collectible cards covering flora, fauna, geology, and history. The page attributes its simplified values to inspiration from real data and cautions that they are not an official diagnosis.
