Multiple Layout and Edit mode

I suggest adding a feature for multiple city layouts, allowing players to save and switch between different designs .

Additionally, a dedicated "Edit Mode" would be helpful for making layout changes in a separate workspace, with changes only applied after confirmation. This would enhance creativity, reduce errors, and improve strategic gameplay.

    No thanks, forward planning cuts out or at least reduces player errors.

    Your suggestion would increase the size of the game app, thus increasing minimum device requirements and probably cause more game crashes, lag and glitches etc than you can shake a stick at.

    At the present time on my device the app is 6.2 Gigabytes in size. That in itself is no issue as I have plenty of storage space.

    It is currently using 1.3 Gigabytes of RAM, again not an issue for me but I hate to think how much more would be required for it to run as smoothly as it does if it had multiple layouts and an editing mode.

    Can you imagine the hassle of coding that to run on multiple versions of the various operating systems that it currently does?

    Can you imagine the hassle caused by future updates to the game - surely you have seen the various problems over the years that players have posted about here and on various fan pages on social media?

    No? Then you have some bedtime reading to do 🤣 

    I think you are looking for something more suited to a high-end gaming PC or whatever, not a game intended for mobile devices 🤔

    @GrumpyBedlam you can create several cities... so then you have or can create different layouts...learning from every city you have... the final version would be maybe the best one without any mistakes or errors in creating...my second city is already better than the first one... and maybe when the game doesn't f* me up with all the cheaters and scammers...i will build a third one...let's see..

    @uala18bnu5o0 Read the original post....
    It's not about multiple accounts, let's put it that way 🤔

    I've spent the best part of 10 years learning how to play the game.
    I'm still learning.
    I'm always tweaking something in my Capital or Regions.
    I don't need or want what the Op was suggesting.
    I don't think it would benefit my game or anyone else's.
