9800x3d when that drops. I have seen people say the higher core numbers help too, so a 9950x3d might be worth looking into if you're really hard core. Anyway asking on the PDX forums might be a good idea, they're proper nerds for this.

Personally I would go with the 7950X3D. That Game loves CPU cores. Cache helps as well especially when you get over 300000 population.
