As we reach the higher levels and in essence the limit of the available space on the board would it might be worth considering a (game to game) link ie introduce a tunnel/tollway where for gems/energy, you click onto it and are transferred to a second game ie CityStoryII, and vice versa.
This could be a highway/expressway with tolls, train station, port with a ship (that would be pretty cool).
Users could then create a completely new town perhaps using materials initially brought over from the 'old town'
It would allow a dynamic link to your other games, encourage users to interface and download these games....
To keep it aspirational, have it set at a particularly high level.
Fantastic news! My biggest concern was expansions and you have covered that. Love the idea of the new building where you can make parts.
I was losing incentive to play because my next building was 5 levels away and it currently takes at least 5 days to level up. So I am excited to hear that buildings will be available more often.
Also great to get some kind of reward for visiting neighbours. I visit 200 every day (mostly for the XP points, but some are fab people and i would visit them for nothing).
Great job , really appreciate your effort. You were just about to lose a gem-buying player but I'm a happy camper now 😄
I'm a bit concerned about the reduction in the chance of a community building giving an extra energy. There is not enough energy to run a medium - large city as it us. I have dumped everything that matures in less than 1 hour and now have mostly 4-hr buildings. I have to run my factories on 2hr contracts. You are saying you will be introducing buildings & business with shorter collection times - but where is the energy to support it?
I love all the ideas you have come up with, but with 20 energy per hour there is a limit to what you can do. I can't add any more buildings ( or factories) without the energy to support them. And with possibly 25% less on the comm buildings, I'll have to abandon clicking on yet another set of buildings.
Sorry to whine, but the energy thing is a big issue for most players.
Thanks
Could we expect to see these updates today? Noticed there was no new material so I was just assuming.
So not update? How come?
I didn't like any of the updates this week and I was expecting one for this game... I'm now disappointed.
