Can we please have the population target for opening up last region slashed, as in by half.
I’m Level 92, built on all of 4 regions and just under 5M pop across all of them. Could get to 5M with a bit of juggling.
To get to 10M would require ripping up years of design effort and replacing carefully crafted layouts using all the various specialisation and themed buildings, and going to enormous building effort to replace them with soulless & boring residential+max benefit things. It’d be insanely tedious and I’m never going to do it because the whole reason I play the game is to make beautiful cities with districts and themes, and “repeat a build” to get a max population entirely turns me off.
Let me have the last region and I’ve a reason to pay to get more themed buildings to design and fill it.
Don’t and there is literally nothing left for me to do.
A high target to open the 5th region makes you no money because the massive development to hit that target doesn’t require spending money, just lots of the same buildings and making lots of items to upgrade all of them. So you not only gain nothing with the high target approach, you actively lose paying customers who can’t expand further and have no reason paying for new things.
Opening up the regions requires more utilities/emergency services and thus more coins and so on, hence people are more likely to pay to do all that. Making it hard to get them open seems staggeringly self defeating for you if you want income.
