I don't think that buying land would add to management. (Don't own land, wait for money coming in, buying land).
Other people have said that to, obviously the "waiting for money" is pretty much how this game works, everything is just about "waiting for money" want more rides? just wait for money, want more scenery? just wait for money... if you want to discuss how or why the financial system in the game is lacking, that is something I would love to discuss further in detail, but it is quite complicated as it includes many aspects of the game from research to prestige and aging, etc...
I agree that it would be interesting to have maps that aren't only squares but have different shapes.
Exactly, that is what this thread is about: having unique shapes to our parks, because that creates more depth in how you design and layout your park. Large open square parks make
some people bored, as
some people enjoy having a park that is a little bit laid out already, with just hills or cliffs or trees etc. But also it makes it more interesting to say "how do I fill this oddly shaped area" or "what can I fit in this little chunk of land"
But then the not owned landmass should have a town or something so there is a reason why we can't own this land and build there. this on the other hand would get hard on CPU.
this is something many people want, and will hopefully be included with the scenario editor
It would be interesting to have two parks on one map with expensive, not owned land in the middle, so you have to optimise thosse two parks to be able to connect them while buying th land. I would try it in one scenario as it wouldn't be fun to me.
this is a different idea, competition has been discussed in other threads, and it seems that it would be difficult on the CPU. Although, I do like the idea, and my favorite scenario in the game is Golem's Rampage (it has a monorail and is broken up into 4 areas) I would like to see more stuff like that [up]
if you own the land but are restricted to build there up to a special height or something like that. If you mean all that by "buying land", then I agree that it could add to management.[big grin]
this again, is part of why I created this thread, and you are confusing me with the "doesnt add to manage" or "does add to management"... [tongue]
I am okay with buying land coming to the game but what does it add to management. Your argument in the other thread was that buying land would add more to management than the other thing discussed in the thread. You later explained that buying land is so important for you because you want to rebuild RCT parks. So again, what does it have to do with management?[rolleyes] If it was, what I described a couple of lines above, I understand.
Not sure what you're missing. You agreed that land restrictions adds to management, and I understand why you would disagree that "waiting for money to buy land" is not management, thats fine if thats your opinion, but to me (like I said) its more about having the unique shapes (like in Classic RCT) because it just makes things feel more like a puzzle, not all players want to just work on a blank square piece of land to start with
By the way, I really hope we can shape our own maps and I really hope for an ocean or beach biome/starter map, too [big grin]
exactly the point of this thread
By the way, I think that buying land will come to PC in the coming update. If not, it probably will come later.. I have no doubt that it wouldn't come.[big grin]
well, I thought that last year during alpha, hopefully well see in a couple weeks [up]
