Locked cities

[SunsetDanar]

Can they be unlocked so they can at least be visited? These are cities not currently being maintained.and just being moved around to replace gold mines. Many still bearing the "Sproutville" and Dawnham" city names so probably haven't been played for quite some time.

I believe many of those have a city in other World(s) and have spent $ for Diamonds. By doing so, their inactive cities will always remain on World map.

One of the latest updates. Gold mines give much more than they did, makes Visits faster and a tad more "worthy".

I get the deal regarding diamond accounts and I'm not suggesting that they be deleted but, rather, just unlocked so that they are at least as useful as the gold mine it replaced.

Where are you seeing locked cities? Mobile or PC?

 

[SunsetDanar]

I'm on a PC. By "locked" I mean cities with a MH that is continually under construction or cities that otherwise offer no means of providing neighborly help.

You can still buff them and get the coins if you use mobile.

Yeah, I know Soggy but I have so many other neighbors that visit regularly that, doing visits with supplies up, it just doesn't work to do them on mobile because you only get your rewards once as opposed to four or five times the hard way. I have (guessing) around ten, more or less, locked cities in my neighborhood that are just annoying. They serve no purpose.

 

[SoggyShorts]

sorry, what do you mean you only get once instead of 4-5 times?

 

[SunsetDanar]

I set my sidebar quest to "Obtain 16K supplies" when doing neighborly help on the PC. I'll complete the quest after visiting four players who have visited me at which point I'll collect and reset to the same quest. I'm usually able to repeat the quest 4 or 5 times. The app does visits in multiples and does not distinguish between those players who have visited me and those who have not so even though I have that particular quest up, I'll usually only get it once even though I reset it.

I have visited my entire world map on mobile, it does not visit multiples, you still have to visit everyone. I've quest/cycled on the app (much easier) and everytime you complete the quest, that part of the sidebar will turn green. Doing world map visits will accomplish that quest less times than doing fellowship visits because less people on the map visit you. However, if you can accomplish that quest 4 times from map visits on your PC, then it will be the exact same on mobile.

Very strange to hear this

First, when I do visits using the app, I still have to tap on individual cities and then choose from 3 options MH, builder and culture. I have never experienced where neighborly help is done on two or more cities at a time and I don't think it's possible.

Second, the app does recognize who has already given you neighborly help. Just as in the PC version, you get extra supplies on top of the gold, by helping someone who has helped you within the past 23 hours

Are you sure you are playing on the right mobile app?

 

[SunsetDanar]

Yes it's the right app but I only tried using it a couple of times when it first became available before I gave up on it. It's very likely that I was doing it incorrectly. A probable case of not understanding everything I thought I knew about it.

Good good, I'm glad I asked. Like Kay and rando said, the app does everything you want just 20x faster.
Still no excuse for not deleting those dead cities though.

exactly I have a lot of dead cities around me cant even get a good trade out of them and most have nothing you can click on to even get any coins out of

I've got cities around me with names like GOODBYE and FAREWELL that have been like that for at least 2 years. I'ma advocate again for the ability to flag cities as dead. There should be a change in TOS that no login for 60 days = city moved to a holding server or something.

Also, the ability to delete our cities if we decide to stop playing on a world would be appropriate.
