question 4 maxis devs(if any read here)

posting here and not ea forums and dont want to derail 6 feedback (too much).

 

I posted on ea forums about rci and how its possible to easily increase the number of density and wealth tiers in future updates/expansions/dlc.

 

thinking about it again, it wont be easy from a players perspective? the wealth yes because that's tied to land value which is altered basically via a props values and therefore, respectively by placing toys. 

 

But density upgrades is 'hard coded' to roads only? to have d1-10 would require a player to have 10 different road types capped at d1-10 growth in order to have all 10 densities, unless they utilize the unzone before road upgrade trick ?(which will become even more a pita with more densities)

 

No idea if you ever plan / planned on more density / wealth, but i would imagine you have as its a viable dlc option (content variety over functional advantage) Re-balance 4 residential densities to replace 3 with max populations relatively unchanged would allow for more city variation in building size, appearance etc without changing game play or introducing imbalance and paid advantage. Offline /no leader-boards and you could have released a new density tier not having to account for simworld population balancing, to prevent turning the game into a pure pay to win,(per rci or individually)  dlc every x months without breaking your own leader-board /shrug
