#Growing Megacities

Hey team,

My idea is around lands attached to 3x3 megacities. If a land owner has achieved a 3x3 city, through staying engaged, playing the long game and negotiating, I believe they should have the benefit of adding lands that have a side attached to that city and any additional lands similarly attached beyond that.

My main idea is about allowing the growth of the megacity. I'm open to ideas around land gaining extra benefits beyond what a 3x3 already gets.

The owner is most likely engaged in the game and building out, generating fuel and participating in the ecosystem. The land holders that are holding to flip, but not building out their plots or contributing to fuel supply can possibly trade their plot at a premium to someone that puts it to use.

I think this is a greater incentive for 2x2 megacity owners to continue to grow their cities.

As I don't know the current numbers there maybe only a few dozen 3x3 mega city owners.

Based on comments from Johnny, the dev side may be minimal.

I'm open to ideas around this, and welcome any feedback of upsides and downsides. I would like to eventually put it to iccp as Johnny suggested.

Some people minted/bought land (might be at a premium) next to a potential megacity. i say let the market work itself out

For those giving a 👎can you provide any feedback as to why you don't like and what could be improved?

So do they kind of earn it, or earn the right to purchase land next to theirs. Like at some point it gets taken off the market?

only if they are on the market can they be purchased like currently.

Megacities should be 2x2 or 3x3. Because reasons xD
I would be OK with an upgrade at 4x4 though. But if you have a lot of T3/T4 you are once more changing how much resources a megacity produces. So you are skewing the production towards megacity owners.
I dont know whether that is what we want. It sounds like favoring the whales more and more which is not going to get the majority of votes easily.

  • With every additional plot included in a megacity you basically lower the production share of single land plots.
  • Megacities is a cool impelentation, and should remain something special. I like to see a ratio of like just 5%- max 10% of all plots being part of a megacity.
    --> if MC's stay on that ratio, you could implement systems like single plots could be something like a colony/suburb of a megacity with special relations to it.
  • Weird forms could be tough to visualize pleasantly
  • Overtime all plots will be integrated in a megacity, which makes it kind of pointless to even introduce the feature Megacity
