Thanks a lot! Communication was not perfect in the beginning, but the fact that you're sitting together and offer us an Option just is what makes you better than most other Studios and Publishers.

Definitely not a mess. This was misinterpreted by the masses; you have been more than transparent throughout the whole process, and this was but a small hiccup in wording. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you!
I was already happy you cleared up the misinformation in the community before launch but your willingness to revisit the issue again and open the code to modding -- even against your better judgement -- is truly impressive and bodes well for the future. It's a fantastic compromise and all we could ask for. Kudos to you and your team!
I already responded over at reddit but since I've created an account here I might as well start using it.

Well, it would've been nice if it was as simple as changing a couple of lines in a .ini file, but I can live with this. I accept the challenge presented
Well done, CO! For me personally, I can't understand why some people got their knickers into a bunch over the "lack" of support for modding to unlock 25 tiles. The game was always been advertised as able to expand up to 9 tiles with the possibility for modding to unlock 25 tiles. The developers have never said it was easy. Secondly, I feel that even before I have played the game, it is premature to make comments that map sizes are too small.
When I buy a game, I fully understand it was my decision and my decision alone as to whether I want to buy it based on what has been advertised. If I don't like what has been advertised then I'll take my money elsewhere. But if I decide to buy it and it didn't turn out to be how I envision (keywords: how I envision it to be) then I have no one to blame but myself. This is called taking responsibility for your own decisions. Lastly, there are more important things in life like appreciating your family, friends and health.

So basically it means that the game won't work with more than 9 tiles unlocked.
Not a big deal, probably 9 tiles is OK, but I was really dreaming about building my Megalopolis city. :sad:

I don't think that's been said, it's a possibility, it's also a possibility it may work. We don't know yet.
Very impressed by the CO approach to whole thing of miscommunication. If only the others game developers behave as CO... Wish you very good sales of all your games and very loyal fans. You have some already
I hope it works. But really, I can't imagine that they have not tested it themselves. A lot of people want this feature, and adding this would mean more sales, so it's reasonable to assume that they would do it if it didn't bring too many issues to the game. My bet is that they tested it and the results were not good. Or they didn't even tested it just because they know that there are many hardcoded limitations that will make playing the game with more than 9 tiles a bad experience.
NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo! Please don't make us regret allowing the modding of the map size, even if it's unofficial. This is unfair
EDIT: Where are all the guys boasting about their super computers now?
like making laptops not explodeDon't worry, your project 25 has still stuff to figure out
I cannot for the life of me understand how some people got so worked up about this, which makes me admire the team's patience and forthcomingness even more.
And: get back to waiting? Who says we ever stopped?

All in all the census that I got was with the map size was being able to expand 9 tiles that is huge to me. Plus the tiles are right beside each other and you can change the highway design and so much more to really make the city of your dreams. I think it's impressive how you have been so transparent and straight forward with everything I know will take this game to the next level! Plus to see the CO come on the forums and tell it how it is shows how passionate you are about this game and I can't wait to play it.
