Size of Buildings?

[Lankybrit]

Hi,

Gosh, I can't believe I can't figure this out easily, but the event building from the Spring Event makes it important to know.

If a building is 4x6, does that mean it's got 4 tiles at the top, and is 6 down. Or does it mean it's got 6 at the top and 4 down?

Thanks.

It means that it has 4 tiles at the top, and is 6 down.

The size of a building always refers to:
(length from top corner to left corner) x (length from top corner to right corner).

Thanks both. Why they show buildings on a diagonal in the promotion thread is really silly. Why on earth don't they show it in the orientation it's placed in, or at least close to it? Sheesh.

It makes it look a bit 3D

The building shows exactly the way it will appear in your city.

...they do show it in the orientation it is placed in...

Also, directions like "top" and "side" can be confused in a game where everything is along diagonals. According to the game's design, north (or up) is to the top-left, east (or right) is to the top-right, south (or down) is to the bottom right, and west (or left) is to the bottom left.

Which is why I referred to the corners of the building itself when explaining.
