Not referring to the non-PVP crowd, but the "normal" players.

There is no sov in the non-PVP area of broken lands. So instead of 20 sq's for each city you need 1 sq. I doubt space will be a problem there.
How much of BL will be habitable though? It looks like a large amount is water, non-pvp ect.
Also I vote that we do what Rill suggested and make it Bacon Lands :D

I think that considering that about 50% of Broken Lands will be non PVP area, it will be a good idea to limit city numbers to allow as many players as possible space and opportunity in the expansion.

People who play more are always going to have the advantage over people who play less. This is true of any game. I think forty cities might be more than I can handle, but others can go for it if they want. Anyway, the continents are separated, so someone with twenty cities in Elgea isn't disadvantaged against someone with forty.

The idea of having 40 or so cities seems crazy to me. Im making a "push" for my 10th city now- and I think its been a long haul to get here. In any case I think the game is well balanced as it is now. I dont want the devs to upset that too much.
Someone made the comment on here its about strategy not time put into the game-- Well if the game was setup so someone whos played for a month can compete with those of us who have played for 2 years or more- then there is a flaw in the system. As I stated above I like the way the games balanced like it is now both the longevity and playabilty(which seems to keep improving.).

I have eight cities in Elgea, and I'm not in a super hurry to get a ninth. I haven't found that it significantly limits my ability to "compete" (insofar as that is even a relevant concept). People will have as many cities as they are willing to make time for, both in Elgea and in Bacon Lands, just as they do now.

I'd prefer success in Illyriad not to be a measure of the amount of time one spends playing the game. It's not a count of clicks; it's a strategy game, so brains should win over quantity. Personally, I think 40 ( (10+10) × 2 continents ) is too much work*. Others would be quite willing to put the time in, but I would feel a little aggrieved if, as a rule, I could not compete with those who spent the most time pushing their city count to the limits through sheer persistence and brute force.
* it would certainly help if there was a radical redesign of the UI, with overviews of a player's empire (all cities), improved visibility of timers, and so on.

I see no reason not to allow ten cities per world, if you don't want to manage that many cities then don't build/take that many in Broken Lands. I do object to the suggestion that cities are limited to less than what is allowed in Elgea. It's a personal preference and a decision each player needs to make; build as many cities (up to ten) that you can manage.
Ten cities in Elgea is not that difficult but it requires a lot of building and work, the same will hold true in Broken Lands.

I think I will play in BL or Elgea, not both. I don't have the time to manage that many cities along with all the other tedious daily clicks.
