From the Release Notes: "The maximum number of premium city expansions you can buy has been lowered to 23, to make the amounts more fair. We have also increased the prices for this particular type of city expansion to reflect its value better. "
"reflect its value better"... are they kidding! A 5x5 square of virtual land is not worth $60 or more. The recent special quests were nice but with out giving us extra land and now the cost increase there is no chance to place the won buildings unless we spend a lot of real $. The addition of the Training Grounds is the same, there is not enough space. The cost needs to be lowered or more expansions need to be made available to earn or the game will come to a standstill and people will leave. Overcrowded, towns are stagnant, ugly towns and no fun to build.
