On a more positive side... and speaking as one who is only on level IV, Thank you for adding a holiday extra to the game. I'm moving through the challenges, and I am a bit concerned that there is not enough time to win the prizes at the end. I will be angry with you if that is true. There needs to be a real possibility, with a bit of a cushion, to make this enjoyable and keep players looking forward to future surprises. I applaud your efforts to keep improving the game, as there are imbalances. There are a lot of abandon cities because of it, and it doesn't help when the charts in the wiki are way out dated and to not reflect the positive changes you have made. I know it takes man power you may not have to keep those up, but worth it, I think. The Bottom Line is what you are trying to accomplish, and listening to and keeping players interested in the game is the avenue. I, personally, do not what to make monetary investments in a game that looks too laborious and frustrating in the long run. I hope this is helpful feed back. Again, thanks for the game, love the graphics, and still having fun. ~Snow
