EA Staff (Retired)1. City Design challenge impacts my overall rank which I don’t want to unnecessarily raise without growing my other city components.
2. I have to destroy a city layout to build the temporary city in the design challenge, next time make all items available in the design section. Don’t make us destroy what we’ve already built for temporary gain.
3. The voting is flawed, this or that system is really restrictive. What if I don’t like them both? Also having design come up on COM is a waste of a task. Often low points that impact to many other components of my strategy.
In short, I do not participate in the design challenge due to… Rank Impact, Lack of Functionality, and Limited Voting options.
PS… Tentacle Vortex is still the Worst attack and I hate have 260 freaking cards for it I’ll never use. Please fix that attack kindly.

@DRSB I’m in full agreement with items 1 and 3, but item 2 leaves me a little confused. I have not had to destroy a city layout to accommodate the design challenge and don’t understand why you would need to. I understand you may wish to use an item(s) in your existing city to add to the design challenge…but this is a momentary situation and can be easily addressed by substituting a same category item(s) temporarily until your design is issued and the item(s) become immediately available to put back in your city. Am I missing something?
It is true the items are only gone temporarily a few days or how ever long it takes to complete your design. However if I move a park or a landmark doing 50% boost in my main city's I lose a corresponding amount of money in tax dollars until the design is submitted so while it’s a momentary disadvantage it’s still a costly disadvantage.
Also destroy might not be the best word. Dismantle, unnecessarily remove and re add.
@DRSB Thanks for sharing. I’ve never encountered any negative effect…probably because I ensure that if I move anything that there is still sufficient coverage for any residences impacted. I have found the items used in the design challenge become available after submitting your design.
@brendanflynn1 I understand your perspective, but the reality is you should have a pretty good idea if you’re going to be able to acquire everything you want at this point. Of course you don’t want to purchase if you don’t need to…but it would be counterproductive from a business perspective to change the availability until after the fact. You have to make a decision and move forward, just as you do in real life.
