That's an interesting opinion based on several things:
1. For a "PvP" focused tribe, you didn't last long vs. Hopi. (

2. Not every tribe wants to create a "city." Everyone has their own style and some prefer to have their areas blend more, such as the Audacian Republic.
3. I don't really see any "cities," just large, flat, barren ground.
4. Just because we aren't butchering landscape on a massive scale doesn't mean we aren't building without "thought and dedication." In fact, I'd wager it takes more thought to consider the terrain and surrounding environment than it does to say "Okay, level it all to the ground."
5. Rushing into building massive cities is foolish considering we have no clue what land will be needed for later on when new features are added.
It's hilarious that this thread is meant to bring the community together and give us something to look at, and yet you waste no time in bad mouthing Hopi and other large tribes who don't share your "super city" dream.
