Anyways, there won't be a reasonable limit to property count in the end huh. That makes the game really not newbie-friendly because there is almost always experienced player in the game who buys ALL properties on the map not allowing newbies to catch up, even tho its not needed for having a good game for every player.
This is basically a feature that allows people who played map before and know how to get that cash fairly fast to snowball new player and repulse them from the game. Blocking city entrances et cetera. We all know that one does not need that many properties to have steady income. It's overkill.
It's like boosting your villager's health to 7k hp in Werewolf Transylvania. Gay as fuck, no one likes it.
Maybe if this map had somewhat its own bot and community of reasonable size, maybe then forming somewhat METAGAMING here and having struggle for properties would have sense. But let's be honest, this isnt even half polished, many bugs and features yet to be added. Why would I, average player want to learn and remember metagaming on this particular map. I enjoy to play it, but hell I won't litter my brain with remembering map I dont even know will reach its finished and fairly playable state.
There should be property limit but not like one that would allow EVERY player to get a piece of land but for a GROUP of player to get few properties excluding remaining ones to be left without any. THEN it'd seem reasonable and not ONE or TWO people would snowball newbies anymore.
But hey it's up to you right
