So Elvenar is, first and foremost, supposed to be a city-building game, right? Well it would be nice to customize our cities with things that don't look like something purchased from the crafts section of A.C. Moore. The truth is (and I'm sorry for being blunt) that the elven culture buildings look like crap. First off, they're too tall and block everything out; second, the artwork is, well, doofy (if I may be permitted to flash back forty years to elementary school to grab the appropriate word).
I want to be able to lay down things like 2x2, 2x3, 3x2, and/or 3x3 plaza tiles to create a square around which I can abut my houses and trees, or water tiles to be able to make something like the reflecting pool outside the Lincoln Memorial in DC. Not everything needs to be all poofed up and fancy. I've said it before in other posts, my aim is not to have straight rows of the same buildings piled one on top of another. I'm actually trying to build a city worth looking at, but the non-structure options I have really stink. And I don't think they should be premium. I do spend money, but I'd rather spend it on extra expansions.
Seriously, devs, it can't be that hard to throw together some actual city tiles that look like they belong in a city and add them to the menu, can it? How about tossing a bone to those of us who aren't playing just to see how high we can get in the rankings chart?
The culture structure I think I hate most is the mysterious cyclone. Looks like a furnace belching out smoke and it utterly obscures anything behind it. And the more I'm thinking about the size of the tiles, they really should come in all four sizes I listed so that you have maximum flexibility in designing things. You can't use roadways to accomplish the same thing because they create grass spots between them if you make them more than one row wide. This really needs to be a feature, guys.
