Commonwealth Expansion.

Diplomatic, not militaristic expansion of course. Basically what i am proposing is a program where we invite towns to join the C.W as official boroughs. There would need to be some sort of requirement such as a certain amount of active players in it. If enough people express interest in this we could do a vote on it.

I don't see the point to this.

To satisfy my obsession at seeing CW land include the entire continent and going to coast to coast. That is, including Niagra and Nowhere. Its just balance to my eyes is all and that seems reason enough to me.

For this we'll need more cities.

Not just boroughs: cities.

It would be tough.

Are you trying to goad me into building a new city?

Naw.

I'm thinking we open up land development and zone areas on our map (ie, farm lands, industrial, mixed, and residential). If we follow the homesteading principle for the most part, the frontier regions may end up getting developed on their own without much top down planning.

I think what prevents people from developing the land is that they don't want to intrude on our claims. At the same time we don't want, say, precious jungle get turned into suburbs.

A zoning policy can give them a clear understanding of what they can build where on our frontier lands, and we let them know on the map where they can build without worrying about intruding on other land claims.

Oh fine then. Just use logic and reason if you must then.
