Governor Requests and City Development- broken off from Atl transcript thread

[Kyronix]

Since we are on the topic of city additions/alterations, I think the governors' offices need some heavy rethinking.

While the governors' offices were a nice touch, they are completely useless. You can't customize them at all for specific events/purposes. You can't even hold a meeting of more than maybe 5 people in one without it getting seriously cramped. It is also impractical for them to be so far from the city stones and the trade ministers. I would imagine that most active governors have a player house elsewhere--possibly far away from their city--from which they conduct governor business.

If these are ever revisited, I think they should be rebuilt as second floors on the banks (or a neighboring building) with some limited lockdown and maybe ejecting ability for the governor (with it all unlocking each election). The trade ministers should also work out of these offices. They would be a great place for events and it would be neat to see how each governor customized it for their term... might even give more ideas based on how they get used. I realize that's probably more than the team probably wants to put into it, but I think something along these lines would be really neat and useful, and help unify the scattered and confusing elements of the city loyalty system.

The Governor offices are small areas that you can roleplay in. Adding any ability for a governor to customize them is way outside the scope of what they were originally intended for and at this time would take away resources from tasks that serve a large slice of the player base. That's not to say that it's a bad idea, and we've had conversations about how to make the cities more customizable while still keeping a cohesive look, but right now that'd be a big task that unfortunately is destined to stay at the conversation stage for the time being.

That being said, there is still a tremendous amount of flexibility in what we can add to what is existing to suit it to your needs as shown by the library so far.
