Proposal:
Add the following features to the reconstruction mode:
1.) Multiple versions of a city
2.) Ability to delete buildings
3.) Ability to add buildings
4.) 2D-View
5.) Ability to switch buildings while in moving mode
6.) Ability to move whole sets of buildings
7.) Show street connection
8.) Abiltiy to load foreign cities to reconstruct
Reason:
To make reconstructing cities, especially high age cities, easier and remove the need for 3rd-party city planners.
Details:
1.) Multiple versions of a city
It would be very helpful if we could reconstruct our city then save the version, try again, save the 2nd version, repeat again x - times and
then decide which version we like the best and activate it.
2.) Ability to delete buildings
To be able to delete buildings like streets and so on, if you don't need or want them anymore in your reconstructed city.
The deletion of course would only take effect, when the reconstructed city is activated.
To make that possible one could put a Trash tab into menu or something like that.
3.) Ability to add buildings
The abiltiy to place buildings from our inventory or add streets for example.
4.) 2D-View
The ability to see our city in a 2D-View to be better able to plan our city, as often times buildings in 3D obscure other buildings.
2D View would make it a lot easier to see if there are gaps in our planning.
5.) Ability to switch buildings while in moving mode
Like on live city we should be able to exchange one building for another when moving them around.
For example we placed the Arc and have the AO inhand to be placed and decide that it should be where the Arc is at the moment, so we place the AO on the grid and get the Arc back into our hand to place somewhere else.
6.) Ability to move whole sets of buildings
It would be fantastic to be able to select multiple buildings to move which stay in the same relation/distance to one another while moving them.
A lot of people have for example multiple spring-sets which are more often than not interlaced with each other.
That makes moving them around while reconstructing more and more horrendous the bigger the number of interlaced buildings/sets gets.
7.) Show street connection
Like on live cities, it would be very helpful to be able to see if buildings are connected to the street in the reconstructed city.
It is very annoying to acivate a reconstructered city only to realise that a swath of buildings are not connected to the city hall.
8.) Abiltiy to load foreign cities to reconstruct
The ability to plan the reconstuction of foreign cities from the same server without the ability to activate them of course.
Balance:
Should only require adjustments to the reconstruction mode and no other game features should be impacted by it.
Abuse Prevention:
No abuse possible.
Summary:
Makes planning cities more fun, easier, more efficient, time-saving and better.
With each new event we get new buildings, to clear enough in our cities to place them let alone more than one is always a big challenge.
Because of that an easier time to clear that space or replan the city to make it, might encourage players to spend more diamonds on events.
Well I hope that this is the right way to propose an idea and that others like at least a few points of the proposed features.
