The main remaining thing I'd like to see changed is the Grand Prizes. Instead of individual house upgrades and garden selection kits, I'd much rather see a full set selection kits with both the house and gardens. If a player wants to focus only on the gardens they'll end up with unused pieces.
I understand that it's done to encourage players to get the standard design, and I don't really expect this to be changed, but personally I don't agree with that philosophy. I'd much rather see the creative players rewarded. I'd much rather see the endless possibilities of set buildings embraced than actively limited.
I do NOT agree with this.
If you focus completely on the gardens, we would have easy, really easy solution for planning.
I mean, placing 3 Wildflower Meadows and 3 Sapphire Archs surrounding 1 Magenta Arch would give you
14 FPs + 30 attack boosts from 30 tiles.
You need some road connections, so is not too easy to introduce elsewhere in your city,
but because its convenience, I'm sure many of you guys would copy and paste the same pattern over and over,
if you got numerous full selection kits.
I don't call it creative.
Using the main building is actually more creative.
You don't have to copy and paste the standard design. You can custom the design to add garden pieces as you like,
(I know many of you would like the Sapphire Arch or the Wildflower Meadow),
And also, if you have got 2 or 3 full upgraded main building, you can place them close together and
put the undesired piece in between, to reduce needs of it. (A single Snapdragon Bloom can feed up to 4 Butterfly Houses.)
Configuration using the main building is much more various.
So, encouraging the use of it isn't killing creativity.
I DO agree that it was better if one or two full kits were listed as the grand prize.
but not really necessarily, I think.
