really like .8. great job guys and great job galenevil. really like the ability to make cities bigger.

how about something a little more dynamics. we can have different size towns. for example you can start near a smaller town, but there are also larger ones. the larger towns will have a higher density of ‘quality buildings’ (gun stores, and such) and smaller towns will have less, but will have houses with random drops.

for more of a game balance thing. eventually this can tie to scenarios where you can choose to start in an apartment in downtown.

Definitely planning on doing this, the current city size option is a quick hack.  
In the end, we’d want to have structure to the game world as a whole, where you probably start out (by default at least) outside a small town, and if you want the big city challenge you’d figure out where one is and migrate toward it.
