Colors of completed Towns

[Top-SecreT]

There are completed towns which names are not green as the others. Why is that? Hard to see which are completed.

Green city names tells you can buy trucks there, but I guess what you are talking about is, that some city names are displayed in a more brighter yellow than others.
If I am not completely mistaken, the brighter city names display cities where you still have something to do , like upgrading an industry while the brownish ones are cities that are completly finished. You either upgraded industries there to level 3 or there isn´t any industry at all

Yes, you are correct. Theoretically you want to make all cities brownish to get all achievements.

Completion is also shown in region and area names. When you complete all requests in all cities in a region, the region name changes color. When you also upgrade all default industries to level 3 and fix all roads in the region it's name changes color again. So when you think you completed all cities in one region, but it's name is still white, zoom in and try to find smaller cities that are invisible on normal zoom that you usually use. I had to search for a few like these especially in northeastern part of the starting area (NSW), right near the quarantine line.

I find it nice idea that you slowly change color of all the map and just by looking at colors you see where you still need to do something.

Well, Kirrawee and Miranda and Greys Point are not completed ... you send them the required ressources, but you haven´t completly upgraded the industries in those towns , so they are still displayed in bright yellow.

In Gymea Bay you send them all the required ressource but there is no own industry or storage to upgrade... So that town is finished.

If you send all required ressources to a town the only thing that changes is that the city Symbol (building) gets coloured

Okay thanks for the clarification i'll check this out. It were my first hours in the game and it is still confusing for me *-*

Takes some time yes to figure it all out Weiterhin viel Spaß

I started the game again today after few weeks and have problems with the colors again. They were changed. So now completed towns have different colors. Pls dev you are complicating the game, stop it.

I would suggest a color for completed towns, a color for nothing completed, and a color for either industry or products completed. So you have 3 colors. (green for complete of course, yellow for half completed and any other for uncompleted would be best in my opinion)

I know you added color spots yellow and green (why the heck green for uncompleted??) but my strategy is to look for uncompleted towns with right click so the images will disappear. They are too much sometimes so its better to look without them. And now you can't see anything with 5 different colors all for completed towns.

Can anyone understand what i mean? xD

I like the current scheme. Completed towns have a color that does not stand out, so they don't distract. Green towns show that there is an industry in them, so it's easier to find it just buy looking at green dots in the area where I know there is a certain production. Well, at least until you level it to level 3 and complete the town.

I don't think colors should be changed once again to confuse everyone, you didn't like it yourself.

[Top-SecreT]

Completed towns have colors so you don't really know what's going on with them.
Noone can say that this is easy to recognize.
Here you can see it:

Why? WHY?? >.<

Also i see 3 colors for not completed towns. So there are 7 different colors for towns. I really really hate it sorry. I don't want to play it like this and will wait again a few weeks hoping there will be made any change

[lilcoffeebean]

There needs to be at least 4 colors.

City complete, industry not
City complete, industry complete
Industry complete, city not.
Nothing completed

Personally I also like not complete but has industry also being a seperate colour. But the four above are more or less what I rely on the most. Although, the dots have made it a lot easier, so yay for that.

Perhaps a different colour palette could be chosen to make them more distinguishable from one another, albeit I have no issue with the current. Still though if it makes it easier on others I don't see an issue with changing, however I think the current scheme for colours should be kept.

Possibly the most agreeable option would be to allow the player to choose the colours they desire via dropdowns in the settings.

I will try very, very hard to not change the colours ever again (at least of the town titles)...

Is this picture somewhere in the game? I don't think I noticed it. If it is easy accessible from the main screen, then the problem mentioned above should be solved. Person can just check it few times and then it will make sense.

I just created it today. I will squeeze it in somewhere.
I am looking at putting a lot of tutorial and reference information into the "cicada" icon in the bottom left corner... coming very soon.

The solution to this thread's problem is simple. Turn Off the Town Names. The map becomes clearer and less cluttered with the towns' coloured dots being simple and informative. Go to Settings (top left of screen) and turn off Town Names.
