You call twice as big 'a little bigger'? Did you lie about being Dutch and are actually from Texas?Remove the harbor area (beyond the mountains, to the East) from your area and it starts to look ok-ish in with regards to its size (as compared with the other districts). I didn't notice that the area is identical in both shots; it only appears smaller in the second shot because the main area is a lot bigger there.
That district doesn't have any access to the sea. You might get confused by the red lines from your map that I used, but that red line has to be neglected. If you still think it's too big I will take a look at the map myself in-game and redraw the districts.
As for voter collusion, we will simply have to actually *trust* people not to do it (a scary concept, I know). That is, if it is to be disallowed. I'm for allowing it actually, as it adds spice to the game. You will simply make fraud a part of your campaign in this case, neatly simulating real world politics.It's ok with me if we want to ban this avenue of influence, though; the main thing should remain the building of the city, and this kind of intrigue might spark too much conflict down the line, when the city is big and the mayor has a lot of sway over the direction of development.
I do like to keep things like these easy. Don't manage it too much and if we find out it doesn't work we can change it later on (or in a next SG). You can either try to manage everything, work out every possibility and fix every problem in advance or accept that you can't work out everything (at least not in an acceptable amount of time) and let some thing run its own course.
Think about it this way: what harm is there in having term limits? None whatsoever, unless you can somehow count on being mayor for three or more times in a row. Imo, the situation where the term limit is actually needed is unlikely to occur: most people will be curious to see how someone else will do as the MM, and will not vote for the same person even two, let alone three times in a row. But it doesn't hurt to have it, so, why not have it in place in case such a freak scenario *does* occur? Remember that it takes weeks or even a month to get through a single election cycle (albeit we have had some bad luck in our current SG, or perhaps the game has run its course and people are simply losing interest). Imo two terms as a mayor in a row should be enough for anyone. If not, well, frankly such usurpers should be unwelcome in our game. Have a nice day, Citizen.![]()
I would like to put this in place with a limit of two terms. As said before, we can't oversee all possibilities and that leaves us with the conclusion that we might get a situation that is unwanted but not against the rules. To prevent some of these things from happening a term limit is a good system.
