Who thinks Madlens city is a mess?

[pete blake]

Its all over the place. It should be a place to showcase layouts and buildings but its just a junkyard containing duplications for no apparent reason. No format, no structure, - just an unconstructed mess of a place. Should they tidy it up?

I couldn’t agree more. Every time I visit it, all I can think is “if only I had a chance to organise it”...

Yup....she’s a mess. Admittedly my city has some jumbled areas but those parts are set-up to take maximum advantage of bonus building bonuses so some jumble can’t be avoided. Took me 15 min to find her damn stadium lol

I have literally had to google the location of buildings on her city before. Someone, please, fix it.

I too have some concerns about that City's organization but just so long as I know where certain things are, I'm fine and depend upon that knowledge. Changing things around could make things worse. What I would suggest is another NPC for a midlevel city (something like level 50-71). This would have buildings that drop things (villas,, stone castles, training centers, planetariums, theatres, All Star Movie Theatre, Brick Houses, the circus, donut shop)

Madlen's city is useful as a reference point so you can see what a building you are unfamiliar with looks like.

I've been considering mapping out the city for a few years now (very glad i didn't do it before v7.0) but the task would be huge and it would need to be updated after every event. Allowing it to be edited by others (like in the WIKI) would share the workload (as well as the potential risk for someone to balls it up!)

Ironic that you would make this post, because when I first started this game, I wanted a city just like Madlen's. I wanted to have a huge metropolis with all the buildings available.
Nowadays, my goal is the complete opposite. I want an efficient city that provides all the pax, coins, and items I need in the space I currently have available, as I no longer want a giant city.

That goes in line with my philosophy as well. I try to keep most PAX and coin buildings in separate areas. There are two special buildings that drop collectable items that I keep together. Then I have a section in my city for the space program (buildings that drop a spec-related item at least once a day).

Madlin's city is not a workable thing in real game play but rather just a visual reference and to obtain items if you don't have neighbors with a building that you need to visit.

I still dream with a giant city. But realistically can’t afford it.

Scrolling on mobile gets annoying after a while, so I like having everything within quick reach.
I do admit, looking at an organized big city is nice, but I find myself amazed at the small cities for lv80 players who have lots of big planes. You have to be very efficient to keep your planes in the air with such a small city.
For example, in my city, 98% of the time I only use my pax buildings that are 2 hours or less to keep my fleet in the air, which I can collect in 6 clicks if need be (visa centers). The other buildings (4 hours or more) are only for contract use or to keep my planes in the air while a contract is running.
Just a different type of city is all...and I get to avoid purchasing another 60 greenie plot of land (on a sale! Ridiculous!)

When I started to play, Madlen’s city was a big different then now. But it was big city for me, and somehow a goal for me to achieve the same size and buildings. That city is a mess, true, but they just put together whatever buildings exists. I wish there would be more of same type of buildings, for instance 6x Planetariums, etc. So most of users can have benefit from it.

But today my city is twice or more bigger then Madlen’s

I agree that should redesign her city to maximize buildings

All that hooplah and she is still at 777 stars.

I think that could be a tribute to Boeing. Boeing has always had a thing for the number seven.
