This. To be honest, it has earned the company one unquestioning purchase from me, when it comes to new games. I wouldn't have considered buying a game such as this otherwise. My rationalization for saying that is that stardock can uphold such a high level of quality and communication. But I would be lying if I told you there wasn't a tiny bit of love involved as well.
Well I personally like the change and have no problem with city spam or how close they are to each other (never understood why some people don't like this) However I would like to see Forts/Watchtowers etc added to the game for expaning territory and to kkep general watch on the land without having to build a city. You can have the pioneer build these. Could also give bonuses depending on the structure being built.....Forts would have more area control and give higher defensive binuses to station troop than Watch Towers. Watch towers can be cheaper to build than forts and can see more of the surrounding area than forts etc.
You could also allow watchtowers to be upgraded to forts and forts to cities for a fee.
Personally I'm a bit worried by this change. If players are entirely dependent upon random map placement for production. That will force players to adapt entirely to the random map. When things were sort of half and half... you could adapt to the map somewhat but also focus heavily on some sort of plan you like? It seems like now which city upgrades you build are just strictly pre-determined by what resources the map randomly places near you! Whereas before you might have to make meaningful choices between which resources to focus on... now you simply have to focus on whichever resources randomly happen to be near that city?
