Great news, I need more space
Looks interesting.. and any time we get new features based on user desires is a great place to start.
Wonderfull news. Thanx BB
Yes! Now that is the kind of explosion I want for Petards-New-Battle-Unit
Looks great, but can't wait for a buff that removes tree stumps so we can build there.
welcome news :)
Great news. :)
What about Tree area's & other vegetation's ? Maybe come in later update :)
What about rocks with mines?
and when can we have this update..my island its full

Great news for the big levels, but...
I like to see a "chain-saw" (or something like this) buff, to remove the annoying bushes. :)
How will this add to the gameplay?
Building a balanced economy with a limited number of buildings, that's the challenge.
A good idea, allthough an extra Island would have been better ;)
Onliest problem I see is that most rocks and mountains are surrounded with trees.
So the new space will not be able to be used optimal.
So why not a tree-removing buff?
And offcourse not all trees will be able to be removed, but we can miss some ;)
Maybe 3 buffs again?
A: ( Goat) Removes plants (flowers and so on)
B: (Beaver) Removes 1 tree
C: (Elephant) Removes a small bush (3 to 5 trees)
You are hired! I expect to see you Monday morning!Quote:

I can't see any of the pics linked in the dev diary thread... Any reasons?
now i see them... dunno what was wrong but Chrome was reporting the file could not be found...
The mock up is very funny! Destroying a whole mountain, and on its place immediately velvety green lawn sprouts :-D What about the debris and dust? Will floating in the sky?
IMHO this solution to gain more places is pretty unimaginative and childish. There are already too many kind of buffs, premiums, all sort of wonders, what make one-dimensional the game: these are the limits, and these are the instruments to forget them -- you just have to click ad nauseam. So some kind "stone eating worms" should be used instead of fairytale-like "strong man buffs" (henceforth they should be dangerous after stones run out or on another areas, so needed a new type of specialists: worm-shepherd, and new homeland adventures: deworming). Or would be better, if the stone and marble mines were not endless, and mountains and rocks could be shipped bit by bit (also, on higher levels should face depletion of resources). Or should be a type of buildings could be builded on mountain (similarly to floating residence on water) or any specialist who can build on mountains. Or, the best, to obtain a second island, what firstly should be discovered by skilled explorers, then fight for it, and build a *new* economy from the ground up.

Good idea for us who have full islands i know the diary did say you can earn them through quests or get them in the black market that's the bit in thinking hmmmm about as it depends on their price also but still cool idea and yes to remove bushes or tree stumps at some point would also be appreciaited
Yes, more space is greatly needed (mine more for a balanced feng shui rather than lack of build spots per licence to be honest).
This kind of smells like a BB exploit the gem-buyers sort of thing though. A few extra spaces for quest completion, many more to satisfy those particular targeted vices as long as the player pays. More and better could have be done - every sector except 5 could be expanded by an easy 50% by expanding island without increasing the map scroll (the inane thing is, this would likely generate more revenue even if 6 extra segments were given for free).

Not that I wouldn't appreciate more space, but now it will be possible to blast away rocks? Instead of just being able to build where the the trees are cut down and having foresters replant where you want them to. Is this going to cost real money? (I'm guessing "yes".) Is this some new idea that the ones who spend the most money on the game and therefore run out of space will be rewarded with the possibility to spend yet more money so they can actually place the buildings they buy? (I'm still guessing "yes".) How about rather raising the limit on floating residences a little? Or just reduce the number of wood deposits a little? (Do we really need that many?) At the very least have the decency to make this feature free. This game is already the most expensive game I have played.

and why cant we have more floating residences? there are more spaces available already on the islands unless they have other floating buildings in the pipeline somewhere
To those who have been campaigning for more island space don't you dare complain now. Looks like you are all getting what you wanted.
Personally I am waiting to laugh my socks off when all the new additional space has been built on on players want even more as I will be happily making do with my fairly balanced economy on my existing land.
i have a nearly balanced economy as long as everything not open at the same time lol
so i have to build up on certain things then sleep them and open others or open everything and buff everything also lower down line eg cokers etc lol
Lulu that way with having to throw buffs at lower line buildings too, can actuelly save up a lot of licenses, have done exactly that with all food building. Made an exell sheet with my required numbers for exactly what i wanna be able to produce in provision house of baskets and bandits, and then its easy for me to adjust accordingly.
Cool :)Quote:

Hey BB, stop giving the players what they want, give them what they need.
They want more space, they need more gameplay.
RELEASE date for this ?
Did i hear it right, to get all free spaces it cost 13k gems ?
I didn't count as the gems are free on test, but it doesn't sound to far of. Except for maybe a spot in sector 6-9, I think the whole deal is just rubbish. Just another spend fest. I'm even more disappointed than I expected to be.
the mechanics could of been better. we get the little walky man to make a building. I couldn't see my little explosives expert.

I grabbed these from the test server. I thought some players might like to see the locations before it goes live.
Not been on test yet.. but I have to pay gems to get these removed?
if so... BB epic fail again.
yep, they make us happy with great news, and then they make it commercial again, have to pay for more fun in the game
Another reason they removed trading gems as in reality its only high level players with full islands that need this space and they are the ones who could afford to buy gems in trade so by doing this it forces them to have to spend real money..
It all makes sense now...
13 065 gems for clear all

I have to hand it to BB. I was actually very, very pessimistic about this before I saw it on the test server. With that starting point I didn't really expect to be disappointed and still they not only managed to disappoint me, but even give me that sinking feeling in the stomach that you get when all goes wrong.
This is the only builder game I've played, where you can't chop down forests and replant them where it suits you best. In some of the games you can tear down mountains, even the ones you need and shouldn't. It will cost a lot of time and in game resources. In settlers online we have a lot of forests and stone and shrubbery and rivers and whatnot that we don't really need, in places where they only obstruct good city planning. And now BB tells us that we can only remove some of the useless stones and only the ones they have decided. You do not get to decide where you want to make some open space. The trees stays where the trees are. The waterways can not be drained to make new land. And still they have the audacity to demand real money for this. A lot of real money.
I wonder how someone at BB would react if they bought an expensive cake for their kids birthday and the confectioner told them to come and get the glazing maybe a year from now. Then when a year had passed they would have to pay extra for the glazing wich only covers half the cake and taste like bile. This is how I feel we are being treated. I'm going to play the game as it is and you can eat your own glazing BB. I'm not even sure if I want it if it's free.
Did anyone honestly think this would be free? It's a free game but there's always going to be premium content
Still looks okay to me, would be nice if they removed the trees behind the rocks after demolishing them though in S9, but I'll be buying these as soon as its live
