It seems to me that land auctions are only occurring on the left/western side of the map. Has anyone else noticed this too?

yup, I think you are correct.  I have yet to see one land auction on the right side of the map.  Huh

Interesting! I think this should be moved to the bugs forum.

This is true indeed! I didn't really notice it, but now as you say it, I only remember land auctions on the western part of the map.

This was a peculiar problem. Nobody have noticed this until now. It has been fixed in the coming version which will be out next week.

I noticed this as well so I'm glad it's fixed!  I'm really glad to hear we're getting a new version next week!  It's like Christmas all over again!  Cheesy  Do we have a list of fixes/changes yet?

I have played a fair number of games in the last week or so, and I have come to the conclusion that plots on the left (or west) side are 'more valuable' plots, and that this may be by design that these are the only plots that come up for auction...  before changing anything I would verify the old source code and see if it should be changed first.


In the Store the 2 most valuable commodities are located on the left and when swapping mules from smithore to crystite you can easily swap 4 plots on the left side of the screen, but you can barely swap 2 on the right side in the time allotted for one turn...  Now I know that this isn't the way everyone plays the game.  But if you all of a sudden take away the 'auctioned' plot getting in the way of a players EOS for smith and crystite plots on the left side of the screen you might throw the game into another imbalance like we had in the previous version...

Anyhow don't just change it, check with the original first, please... Wink

In the original game, the lands chosen for auction are completely random, and the left side of the map doesn't contain "more valuable" plots by default.

Check for yourself:

Or play the original game a few times and see:
