Is it just me or is many of the great buildings out there really huge?
Sometimes I find a nice looking, detailed set of buildings but I can't use them because they are so big they clip into each other or the city walls. I have to zoom in, rearrange and rotate all of them to give my citizens some space to walk on.

I hate skyscrapers too. They make it hard for me to make low level bombing runs. I hate it when I can't kill efficiently!

I tend to make large buildings, but I limit myself. It's cool if you can make some buildings that have large, interconnected platforms above. However, I AM sick of the buildings that are little more than a decorated giant cube

I'm not a fan of SecuROM, and will not be buying anything else infected with it in the future.

i sometimes make tall-ish buildings but i always try to keep them with in the ring so they don't clip with other buildings once placed.

The plinth which the building sits upon in the creator looks a lot bigger than it really is, the central dias is the area you're meant to work to, but it sits upon a only slightly lower and darker area that is meant to represent the non-working area.


Area marked red is not sat on the dias (Purple) and thus a clipping hazard.

It's an understandable mistake but, we need an education program
