29SEPT11 Moving Cities

yes

I am on board with nearly all of this.
However, I think Warehouse level requirement should be gradated, so that if I have a town of, say, 150 pop, I don't have to build all the way to 20! I understand the thrust of it, but there is an imbalance there, i.e. a somewhat nonsensical standard.

In short, why not tie the necessary Warehouse level to population?

Addendum: anticipating possible exploits; I suppose then someone could demolish some buildings to reduce population, and thus decrease their Warehouse requirement. Is that really an exploit, though, or a realistic choice and sacrifice? "We're about to move, everyone. Tear down some of those added wings and let some of our citizens go on leave until we've relocated and rebuilt to prior levels."

No one is forcing you to move your cities.  The concept is that it's an alternative to razing your own towns and rebuilding them elsewhere. If you haven't considered razing them then I don't think it's worth your time to move them either. I'm only moving one of my cities, one with mostly lower level buildings, there's no way I'm moving my larger cities.

OK, why are the BIG players complaining about the WH20??? The smaller players i can understand, it's difficult getting there the first time, and takes a while. what self respecting city won't have the LIMIT in storage capacity? Thats basically the FIRST building you should get to 20 (except for barracks if you're really militant).


EDIT: Removed a part that related to a post in this thread that doesn't exist (cause my brain is rebelling on me)

This new option is 12x better than before, at least now I'll have my towns starting off at level 12 buildings, rather than level 0. Exodus isn't meant for newbs, it's for players with more than one town, for us to finally be able to put our capitals on 7-food plots without having to destroy our capital and start a new town, and for us to fix mistakes we made when we ourselves were newbs. Stop complaining about it, if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to move!

More than 12x better since you keep all your research also, /me had a city seiged to move just before first announcemnt of exodus
