New Release -- June 7th, 2010

Devs,

I think you guys are moving a little to quickly and your not neccessarily thinking things through, especially with the new facilites. If a new player starts playing the game, they have to have "rank" to buy facilities, including be at level 40 or so to buy the new textile factory and the winery.

However, they can purchase FC and buy any of the FC facilities as the FC facilities are not rank dependent. If a new player buys FC and they buy the wine celler or sowing mill, all of their production is dependent on their neighbors because they cant buy the facility to get the wool or whatever and they cant buy the facility to turn it into textile rolls. They also cant buy the facility to produce non aged wine for themselves in order to use the wine celler.

I doubt you are trying to discourage new users from purchasing FC in order to buy facilities, yet with this new setup thats exactly what you did. So, it must be an over sight. New users being dependent on their neighbors is not an ideal or attractive way to get started.
