ABSOLUTELY FRIKKING AWESOME IDEA

It's not a bad complicated idea like eve and dust, it's a good complicated idea

Well played, sir. ... So you're saying I *should* to try to speak for everyone else here, then?

I like the idea of having several cities together making one bigger city. It's what would happen in real life. I don't like his idea of walls suddenly having multiplied defence. If you make stone wall around village, or same stone wall around city, it's still same stone wall, I'd say even more easilly breakable since there will be probably less people on perimeter...

Something tells me it's not brainpower that's the problem. You're proposing a very large, very influential, and very difficult addition to the game that would likely take the better part of a year (optimistically) to implement. At first glance, a feature like this -- and I almost want to call it an "expansion," because it's that big -- seems like it would make the game much more difficult to play from a thought perspective. Trying not to speak for everyone else, I know I don't like games I can't easily understand.

As an aside -- I'm going to posit that your idea got a lackluster reception in GC for a combination of several reasons:

a) People were probably busy chatting about something else;
b) GC is a relaxed atmosphere so people didn't *want* to think too hard about it;
c) Your history on the forums suggests you may not have been very amicable in your approach to others, thus causing the "pitch" to fail.

I don't 'get it'. Must be my 'brainpower' running flat again. :/
