The cities would have had time and resources by now to build back up with earth and/or wood, depending on their populations and financial positions. So I can see cities starting out as pretty much anything appropriate that's less than stone or masonry, which will require further work (particularly by players) to get back in place.
What does everyone think of those ideas?
Part of me hates the idea of a "restart." If that is the way the game is going to go then so be it, whatever works.
I like to play cities because they are more fun for me to play than a 190 retainer clan! But if all the cities are tiny then they too might not be much fun to play. I kinda sucks to think that the game isn't going to be good for a few years while we build up. I would rather it be fun now, and have some decent cities to work with -- but the restart seems to be the vision that has won out (still not sure why). A lot of what we discuss here seems to be revisioning Midgard, and I'm not sure much of the revisioning is necessary. Midgard wasn't broke, it just died because no one was able to keep it going. Does it really need to be completely recrafted? I think some Factional shuffling doesn't seem like a bad idea, but it seems like we are really trying to reinvent the wheel.
