I'm designing a browser game where the economy is the battlefield. I need skeptics more than cheerleaders.

AI generated text generates distrust, and I generally view it as a form of disrespect, a waste of time imposed onto others.

If you're unable to go without it, at least write the text yourself and use it to see if anything is missing or unclear, without rephrasing. Ideally don't use it at all. You say it's helpful but all it has done is deviate the conversation and alienate an audience.

These are getting weird

There's income related to making and sharing digital media. It's not as simple as a simple monetary transaction, but there's income in social media presence and exposure which can be converted into monetary income. In any case, by removing the signature, the person is intentionally cutting that income stream from the artist.

It's more difficult to argue that it's stealing, since even though the person removing attribution from an artist is taking something from the artist, they're not necessarily gaining it for themselves.

Are there any level-based city building games?

When you select a place for a new settlement, you can look at which ressources are expected to be produced there based on the biome. Different biomes will have different ressources, some common and others absent entirely.

As in many roguelikes, you can't play assuming you'll get a perfect build with what you have, in this case meaning the best resource transformation buildings. When you're unlocking a building blueprint in a run, never choose based on things you don't have yet, try to work with what you already have instead even if it's not optimal. For example, choosing a bakery that produces max quality bread when you don't have wheat or the building to harvest wheat might put you in a bad spot, where you're hoping for a resource that never comes.

After a few games you start unlocking more buildings and permanent bonuses which makes the game a lot easier, sometimes the seasoned players forget how tough it gets in a fresh new game.
