Terrain based land value

[Rufus Honker IV 100]

I'd like to see some terrain-based land value in the game.  Waterfront and hillside property have the same value as that with no nice views.  Heck, you can have a trailer park with a view to die for a few blocks from a land-locked luxury district.  Doesn't make a lot of sense.

 

Maybe they could beef up the value increase from parks placed near a hillside or a shoreline.

That sounds like a fantastic idea!

It does sound like a great idea but I'm pretty sure (at the moment) that people only care about offline mode coming out and finally get the game they want.

If you look at the pre-release vids, location-based land value was originally in the game. They took it out for some reason before the final game came out.

I know.

They probably couldn't get it to work in time.

Hopefully they'll patch it in later.

Yeah, what got me thinking about it was building a high wealth district for my city.  I was thinking about how the wealthy don't go and settle a place just because it has parks and plazas.
