You do remember how you have to re-research everything in a new town? Apparently transfer of knowledge between cities isn't a thing in illyriad. And it also applies to city designs. Tongue

Eh, I would have had to spend the same ammount of prestige I did anyway, my cities all looked the same for too long, I don't want a repeat of that. Plus I want to different theme depending on where the city is. But I can see if you'd want one design for all your cities why it would be annoying to pay so much. Maybe they could do a bundle. Pay 50 for each other or pay like, 40 X number of cities for one single design. So for 10 cities it'd be 400 prestige rather than 500 if the design was all the same. *shrugs*

Edit: OMG! It even shows it in my little bottom bar thing! That's awesome possum. =) Also, it's good to see the devs finally rolling out updates without a huge space of nothing in between them. Gives me hope.

Woohoo!!! we can change the look of our towns.

Seriously, what's the point here? We can have our towns look differently (for only (?!!) 50 prestige)
Are there not things to improve in the game that are a lot more urgent (and beneficial for a greater amount of players)
Where are the new schools of magic, diplo's in the field, broken lands NPC's etc?

All of the new updates are nothing more then more of the same. Nothing's improving the game. Broken lands was just more of the same, just as the last tournement. Come up with something new or stop wasting my time.

1) This update does not mean we are not working on other updates. As I said, we are currently working on many, but this one was a much easier one to finish than the others.

2) Being that this game is completely free to play -- which you *might* be aware of -- we have to have some ways to make money. This is one of them. If you'd rather, we can charge for troops and massive dragons! :) (We will never do that. ha)

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far, players!

Corwin, also, this project looks like at least 95% of it was done by GM Cerberus, who as you may or may not be aware isn't a coder but rather a graphic designer and artist.  It's difficult as an artist to make a meaningful contribution to the game in the areas that coders deal in, just as you wouldn't expect GM ThunderCat to create the art for the game.

I'm glad that the city drop down list is showing more info again. I really missed the pop-size in there after it was removed years ago. And the added info is well placed there.

However, instead of having to use a slider, I'd prefer having all of my cities in view. Especially since the list disappears quite fast after the mouse pointer leaves it. I suppose people using a laptop or tablet might find that even more irritating than I do.

But overall, well done, Cerberus. :)

I'm sorry for my grumpiness. The art looks cool, but it just isn't something I play this game for. If I wanted great graphics I would have played other games. It's the same thing with the medals. I just don't see any point in it.
Credits to Cerberus for the great art (really, it looks awesome), but it just isn't my cup of tea.

I love this new update but please make the cities a little larger on the map.  They are smaller than the original cities.  Other than that this update is a nice refresher and will probably boost prestige sales a little WinkClap

I'm in favor of the option to pay a one-time fee for an account wide city design that can be switched at a whim, without added cost. Some may choose to buy all the designs that way, or perhaps one for every day of the week.
