Interesting stuff, but you know what would be really cool, to revert back that map wide city reduction to the original city count before that trash update. But hey, now we got ciclying units in the capital at the expense of the more usefull jetfigthers, and coalitions without special characters in their name, awesome!!!
The unit variation mentioned in the post is only the first variation. Our designers are working on more ideas to keep things fresh and provide new experiences. With regards the city reduction update, we are very open to any feedback you might have, mainly relating to your experience since the update, how your gameplay has changed and perhaps any nations you found to be more difficult to play as since the update.

Have a look at game 5938834. I would really say I am not a slow player...but 5 homeland cities to start with really slows you down. Its day 20 and I make only 222 supply per hours...this mean I can either do 2 researches per day or build a SAM/MRL...No way of really pushing the supply production. Worst thing is. All other players have only 1 supply cites. Thus while i killed like 8 AI countries I end up with only 9 supply cities.
THe game has dramatically slowed down. Which contributes negative to activity...That game is practically dead with like 4 players I see acting in the news...

Build ASFs instead of SAMS....problem solved. they are actually better air defense anyways and take zero supplies.

Not sufficient. I tell you why:1.patrolling aircraft does not always defend against enemy air raids. so you need ti be only to use your asf against an attack. btw no pro gamer lets his aircraft patrol why offline. to easy to put a SAM in range and take em out without a fight.
2. you need a possibility for a passive defense fir all important strategic locations. this is a 24/7 game. no one can really be online all the time. so there must be a valid option to defend in offline periods.

I've already made a statement on the city count change.

And why dont you guys make a poll also, as easy as it sound, right here on this forum: What are players looking forward to the most? Cities being brought back to their original count. / Cities original count being increased by one or two or even three cities. / Or slighty variations of units that no one ever used and that are actually just the same as before but you can get it at max lvl two or three days before
That will certantly give you a lot of data to work with. And isnt that what all you where looking with the changes made in the first place? Thats what you wrote on that statement if I recall right. Unless the collect-data thing wasnt actually the purpose, as many people are startign to believe
