Balcony?

[Geez3r]

One of the challenges is to have x number of balconies, but I don't see them as a building piece. Is a plain old overhanging tile considered a balcony or is it something special?

What is the actual text in the challenge? I don't think refers to "balconies". Might be something closer to "penthouse apartments", etc.

Hi,

When you accept the contract, it tells you exactly what you need in the upper right corner.

Thanks! Why don't they just say Build 4 Medium Penthouse Apts.int the contract description!?

Like in thousands of others games, the name of the quest/mission/contract may differ from the objective.

Nothing strange that the player should read less than 20 words for understand the objective.

My impression is that the devs may want to humanize the contract... instead of being very "Do X Stuffs"... which is very computer-like.

Amusingly, I have accepted contracts and then found out that they required something which I wouldn't be able to do for several hours down the road! Perhaps it is a nod to the real-life ambiguity of discussing a project, making a handshake deal... and then upon actually reading the paperwork, finding out something that was slighty unexpected :-)

... or it's just that we keep forgetting to push out the contract cancellation feature.... :)

That would be very, very handy. I don't care if I have to pay a penalty.

Somehow it kept slipping off of our list. It should be out soon. Just as soon as we finish the rest of the content for the update. :)
