A 10 x 10 guest race portal does seem a bit ridiculously large, considering that a city expansion is only 5 x 5, which means you would have to probably pay for 4 city expansions with real money. It will also look out of proportion with smaller buildings. Other than that, I will say that I love the idea of Sorcerers and Dragons. I was only recently saying to other members of my fellowship that a race involving dragons or flying horses (Pegasus) would be great. And then the Sorcerers and Dragons came along. I was not all that impressed with the Wood Elves because their houses simply look like trees. And I can't stand the ugly mushroom manufactories of the Orcs and Goblins. With that in mind, I am going to abandon the Knowledge Tree at the end of the Fairies chapter, because I really like the flowery fairy buildings. I'm going to carry on playing just to have a nice looking city and to get a few more provinces and expansions, also I will add a few nice Culture buildings, then when it all looks perfect, I'll just stop playing altogether. BUT... i it was possible to skip the Orc and Wood Elves chapters, and go straight to the Sorcerers and Dragons, I would have kept on playing. Their buildings are magnificent.
