When to switch from missile spam to more complicated designs

In my current game, I feel like I have mostly consolidated the space area around earth and am looking to expand my influence in space. Up until now I have relied entirely on monitors with three artemis missiles and one 40mm point defense. I would like to stay ahead of the game, so when should I start considering ships with heavier armaments and what are some general things I should keep in mind for expanding further?

Daycare capacity

When daycare capacity (the capacity listed when you hover over the service bar) is calculated, is it listing the capacity of children or citizens who can be served?

Mid-late game amenities

How does the attraction radius on buildings work? I'm trying to redesign my city to reach the late game, and I don't know whether to give everyone small restaurants and bars and fight pits or if it would be better to put a few big ones up and let everyone manage from there. I know for a few buildings like temples and grand arenas, you only need one or two, but what about the smaller buildings?

Food stall capacity not showing up right

When I build a food stall it says it will be able to serve 75 people, but then when the food stall is complete it says it can only serve 60 people. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong on my end?

City planning questions

I'm playing with tilapis and I have some questions about basic housing design. Is it better to have small housing blocks with only the basics ie. Wells, markets, food stalls, and hearths mixed with entertainment districts containing everything else or is large housing blocks that provide everything except the largest of amenities like grand arenas and temples. Is there any benefit to having roads larger than three tiles across. Should I always have more amenities available than are required from a housing block or is it ok to undershoot a little bit?

Upgraded housing

Is upgrading housing to higher levels worth it? As far as I can tell it doesn't provide happiness bonuses and can overload local amenities unless you redesign your city blocks to account or plan to upgrade from the beginning. Also, what is the most efficient housing type? Is it the houses or long houses?

Multiplayer advice

Me and my friend are playing a game where I am Agartha and he is playing Ulm. We are in the middle age with 4 bots. We have cleared out three of the bots and the fourth will likely fall soon to my friend. As it stands he has about twice as much land and income as me although the income gap is slowly closing. Once he kills the final bot, he is likely to start fighting me. What can I do to both prepare for the invasion and potentially win. I've been building a lot of forts, but so has he and I worry that won't be enough to win.

Vassals not giving tribute

Early on in my game I vassalized some distant territories to save governing costs. When I first vassalized them, they weren't my neighbors so they couldn't talk to me, but they provided tribute like normal. Recently however, I conquered enough territory to become their neighbors and they have started asking for silly things like independence and appear to have stopped paying tribute. Is there anything I can do to make them stop asking for freedom or make them pay tribute again?

Is slave farming the best method to get cannibalism fulfillment?

I'm playing tilapis and I have about 3300 pop. Happiness is getting low so I'm considering taking on some slaves to both fulfill their slavery need and potentially start getting some cannibalism fulfillment from eating dead slaves. Is this a reliable strategy for cannibalism and if it is, what is the best race to farm for cannibalism?

Questions about heavy cavalry

Currently I equip my heavy cavalry with flanxes and iron armor. Is there a better way to equip them like using warhammers and shields. Also how much does speed matter for charges, because I have both amevian and tilapi cavalry and the tilapis go much faster, but the amevians appear to have better offensive stats.

Cities losing all their pop

As the title says, I have three cities that have lost almost all of their population. 2 of them were large towns and one was a small city and all three have been reduced to a population of a little bit more than 100 pop. The only thing I can think of that caused this was I had researched large cities, but then lost the tech required to keep it. These were all very vital to supplying my capitol, so any help on how to get them back without building them up all the way again would be greatly appreciated

Does researching the training grounds speed bonuses decrease conscript training time?

I'm trying to build up my conscript army, but it feels like training them is taking forever. Will taking the soldiering or archery prowess techs decrease the training time for these armies or will they only affect troops trained in the capital?

Bigger nation problems

I have a very large empire right next to me that is very keen on taking everything that I own. Is there any way to placate it or should I just resettle somewhere else?

How to use new guard posts?

Before I bought the game, I played on the demo and guard posts on the demo are quite simple to set up. But then I switched to the latest version and the guard posts are different. Do I use them the same as before or do I need to do something different to get the most out of them?

Immigration help

I'm playing my first game on the steam demo and I seem to have hit a brick wall in population growth. I'm playing as the humans and reached to about 1450 population, but then almost all immigration stopped and I don't know why. I have food for several days and happiness and loyalty are both in the upper 80s. Additionally I just got the disaster in another region event so I have over 600 immigration attraction, but still only like 1 or 2 people are coming per day. What is going on and how can I fix it?

Fashion and clothing help

So, I'm really sort of new to this whole dressing feminine thing. I recently got a nice skirt and I have some short athletic shorts and I plan on getting some thigh high stockings soon too, but other than that, I have no clue where to go from there. What other articles of clothing should I get if I plan to dress more feminine? What should I wear with a skirt to look nice? How the heck does coordinating the colors of your outfit work? Are there any other subreddits or forums or the like that I can go to to get these things better explained to me? How do I determine what fashion style suits me best or should I just pick one and go with it? What are some good stores to buy from for someone with a lower budget?

Answers to any of the questions above or other general clothing and fashion advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[Routine Help] when to do skincare

So, I've recently been trying to get into doing proper skincare and a good routine and stuff. I've heard that you should ideally apply moisturizer and cleanser twice a day, once after waking up and once before bed. The problem is I have to get up at about 5 to get ready for work and that doesn't leave me time to apply cleanser and moisturizer in the morning. Is there a different time that I could apply my skincare stuff or should I leave it? Or should I try to wake up earlier to make time for skincare?

Bonus question: I like to do skincare for my arms and legs too. Is taking a short shower the optimal way to get those parts wet, or is there a better way?

This is a map of one of the countries in a world I'm making. Does the sizing and distances look about right for a country about the size of the Netherlands or maybe a bit smaller?

The scribbled in area is wetlands. The dots are cities or towns. The blank areas either plains and farmland or ocean.
