Re: Expansions - City Layout
Agreed it is scientifically a 2 dimensional layout. (one dimensional in its creative value
)
While I agree that not being able to rotate the buildings is a challenge it inevitably ends up with cities having very little artistic value. I happen to think its an all to often overlooked aspect of foe. Some players enjoy building cities for the sheer enjoyment of having something unique or pretty to look at. At any rate it would make a difference in the limited amount of expansions one is able to acquire in foe.
While it doesn't address expansions per se please let me offer another suggestion that might have merit. How about offering buildings that aren't always squares or rectangles? I'm not taking about the Cherry Gardens, Harvest Barn collections, etcetera. I think as something exciting and new without a great deal of programming challenge that would spark a lot of creative energy is L / U / T shaped buildings.
