Title: Better way to sell land... Post by: keybounce2 on February 15, 2010, 00:41 I never see anyone not a beginner sell land. I'd like to see something done about that.
Why do people not sell land? I think there's two reasons: 1. You get your money too late -- you sell it now, and you get the money next round. By then you'll no longer need the money. 2. You can't control a minimum bid. Things I'd like to see: 1. If you want to sell land, it sells right after your turn. Before the buying/selling phase. 2. You can specify a minimum price. 3. If it has a mule on it, that is flagged and clearly visible. Land with a good mule is much more valuable than land that you have to run a mule out to. I routinely have empty plots for much of my game. Title: Re: Better way to sell land... Post by: Big Head Zach on February 15, 2010, 01:31 I never see anyone not a beginner sell land.

I routinely have empty plots for much of my game. 1) Original spec has all land being auctioned in the next round's Land Grant/Auction phase. 2) Original spec allowed the seller to constantly adjust the minimum bid, as players maneuver their price lines. 3) Original spec requires land to be mule-less to be marked for sale. In general, this is one of the last aspects of the game that needs to be examined and brought to spec! :) Title: Re: Better way to sell land...
