CITY SCHEMAS
To me the Plarium city schemas are eyesores! Some are just gaudy others are downright hideous! I have been about to buy one several times but the graphics have made me back away...
Who wants to look at a potted plant growing out of a large blue cube every time you go to the map view? Or a roadkill skeleton with 100s of white ribs shaped like the spaceship from Aliens?
The worst is the huge pumpkin - I know it was a “funny” Halloween special – but I sure hope Plarium doesn’t decide to offer a city that looks like a large furry bunny for Easter or a big fat Santa with a wall of reindeer for Christmas?
Even the serious ones are poorly proportioned and don’t look right on the Sparta map. The map is becoming an eyesore with all these ugly over-sized cities, the even uglier cartoon-like capitals and monster-sized Pantheons.
There were in fact some older city schemas that were decent and looked right on the map. Please bring them back!
I would be interested in hearing from players who actually have bought one of these horrors if they wish they could switch them out? Personally - apart from the added defensive bonus - I’d pay extra to have my regular-looking city over any of these.
