First of apologies if this is a redundant remark/question. I’ve noticed no matter how much my population in the regions grows and how happy they are (100% across the board), it has no impact whatsoever on my tax income. The only way it goes up or down is if I make changes in my capital city. Is this on purpose? If so what’s the incentive to keep expanding and adding special parks/landmarks/etc.? All I do is spend money with no return.
Yes, there’s no incentive to build up the regions. They do not contribute to the tax at all. It is for my own vanity that I want to unlock all regions since I have been wanting to explore building great-looking cities of different themes.
Do not unlock more unless you are prepared to spend lots of simeoleons. My simeoleon bank account amount is always in two digits, thanks to the regions. And I have 11k limestone simeoleons that I have no use of.
But EA blew it for me when setting the impossible requirement to unlock last region to be 10 million population, EXCLUDING that of capital city. Even for a player like me, who is willing to put lots of efforts into building up the regions (I have unlocked 4 regions with 100% happiness and all 4 storages unlocked), I see absolutely no reason to work on regions anymore because there will always be an imperfection of not being able to unlock the last region.
I'm not close to the 10 million population gap but it feels a bit rough...
In my opinion the regions bring a new landscape, a new whole city that you can create with specific stylish buildings, and it's enough for me... I enjoy the different size and borders of the regions ...
What I do think is a miss is that you never need what other regions produce : I mean in my case I don't have the canyon, and I never need to find canyon's objects for anything. The business is not impacted and is not reinforced and it's disappointing.
The new region storage is sweet but should me expanded a little, with region items, and not AGAIN storage specific items...
EDIT : It would be great to add a way to war map in regions.
