This is strange huh

The other is if a city has reached a certain chapter. I can't remember which, but it is like Chapter 5 or something.

I read somewhere that it is chapter 3 when a city will not get deleted. I think it would be better if it was chapter 5 because if the player has reached that far into the game they are less likely to quit.

The final guest race will rise from these abandoned cities.

We're getting squatters for a guest race ?

If this is the case, it could be cured by removing the inactive city, and placing it on the map again if it is ever logged into again.

Or.... just find a forgotten corner of the map to stack all these disused cities into.

When it was first announced that our cities would be moved nearer to the active centre by just ticking the box we were excited... I had just 9 active neighbours and the rest were shells, although we did get free gold every month or so, and the great day came... who would get moved? There was a movement in my neighbourhood, ONE of my active neighbours got moved out and the rest of us stayed put and have been here ever since.

With over 465 scouted provinces I'm delighted to report that I have about 11 active neighbours who reciprocate on visits....

Rather than fill the holes once the monthly deletion is done, why can't we move the active people nearer to the middle as was done the first couple of times when it was first set up. That way all the "shells" will be left behind, rather than continually giving us tiny cities who disappear a few days later, usually with their main hall under permanent construction, no culture buildings to polish and a builder which is full after 2 visits.

I got moved in A realm. I was out on the rim and had maybe half a dozen active neighbours. Our whole pod for closed after I left. I am now in a centre with lots of active players

It makes a difference in game play style if you have a lot of neighbours with whom to trade and visit, having an active FS is just part of the game and the neighbourhood also plays a big part.

@Pimpy Most of those names you have listed are the default names given by the mobile app. since too many people will download and run any game that shows in your store, that is to be expected. Very few will remain on the map unless they remain active.

Just a reminder

 

[DeletedUser3337]

It was a confirmation ....
Just another reminder:

Hope they will be removed soon

Couse having 50+ active players around us would kill all their effort of slowing gameplay

@Pimpy I think you will find those numbers are constantly changing, because new accounts are being created all the time, while old accounts that went nowhere are being deleted. Seems to me like every online game of this sort has this issue.

 

[DeletedUser5976]

That is understandable, we can all remember games that didn't grab us and we left. However deleting inactive small accounts makes that active people find themselves in ever smaller islands of activity. I'm playing just over two months now and have seen most of the cities around me deleted twice. And none of the new arrivals stayed. So as I keep growing the chance of getting any potential trading partners in new accounts keeps dwindling. Moving seems the only viable option for me.

 

[Lelanya]

Yeah you are in a pop-up neighbourhood and surrounded by a great many mobile players. You have checked allow automatic movement? Under the settings wheel in the bottom right corner.

 

[DeletedUser5976]

It was already checked and I left it as it is. I am hoping that one day they will move me.

No you should read between the lines, take a closer look at what I wrote.
