All very nice, but why cant we overlay the subsequent buildings on the first imprint of each or even just add subsequent ones to the mayor's and accept the upgrade that way rather than take up valuable build spaces each time?
There may be a valid reason for it, but it seems a bit pointless.
would be handy by the time i get 10 strongholds i wont have room
Agreed. They are adding more space soon but it still is just one thing chasing another. I would think you would buy/earn "level up" points or blueprints or something like that and improve the existing building. Even if they then grew a bit (Snack Stand going to 3x3 at lvl 3 and 4x4 at lvl 5 or something) I think it would be better.Quote:

-1 and especially to this suggestion. No growing or large foot print buildings pls. That would mess everything up completely.Quote:

I agree that having more than one is unnecessary and would like to be able to upgrade the one building each time we get another, up to level 6 then when we get a seventh building we start again. At the moment it'll be just like having 12 level 1 buildings instead of 2 level 6 buildings. (Just an example)
I suggest you first read what I was responding to, then think how (ir)relevant your "noone says" is, and then everything should be clear.Quote:

Add to that the massive amount of resources needed for the new mini quests (puppy/deer tracker/gemstone) and the amount of resources for the new MCC ventures .. they are getting what they want. Creates a demand for stuff to reinvigorate trade too as trade economy was dying.
You can't have buildings which get bigger, as they grew they would overlap any buildings next to them or anything else for that matter.Quote:

I would say that the max level would be up to level 6. Once level 6 is reached and a seventh building is earned, it would be placed on the island as a second building. Just like the buildings we upgrade now, then so on. Also there is no real need to design new graphics for each level, they could if they wanted to though.Quote:

Pretty much the same as normal buildings really, the upgrade cost would be some building materials along with at least one of the buildings in the star menu to be consumed during the upgrade.
For stuff like snack stands/footie fields where you rarely get another, it means there would be no extra space needed until you have ~7 of them (after several years playing).
