Hi,
i only played Elemental for about 1 hour per week since 1.09 to 1.1 [on kingdom], I might be still not understand the game fully yet
but just to share my concerns.
1) How do we know if a level 4 city compare to a level 2 city?
2) City can only be bigger and bigger to advance in level? (with huge influence zone)
In some of the city building games like Caesar 3 and Anno have settlement upgrades with visual indications to allow more dwellings.
(some games have roads, market visual improvement as well)
I am thinking it could be great if we borrow the idea - probably for 3 level of settlements (Hut to Casa to Villa for Kingdoms)
This will save some lands and make the city looks more elegant / less cluttering rather than just keep getting larger?
