Can't find the post now, so making new one.

So, i read a post about AI filling up towns with factory's and other stuff making it really ugly to look at.

So my suggestion is of the sort, if we can make AI build factory's out of town so its not so crowded in middle of town for retail stores. Every thing crammed in middle of town makes it look ridiculous and sloppy. Even just on 15 ai players and 4 towns.

EDIT: and the R&D buildings every where in town.

Thanks,

I typically try and buy up real estate around the CBD to limit AI being able to "ugly up" the city. Not always an option depending on how you're playing, i.e. low start up capital, but it is effective in keeping the AI somewhat in check. It would be nice if they were a little more deliberate in their placement of R&D/factories etc in regards to the CBD. I have noticed however, in games where I've bought up large amounts of real estate around the CBD that the AI will sometimes buy up real estate in chunks and develop their own "neighborhoods" of apartments/retail/r&d etc...

Interesting things with difficulty is if AIs set to highly aggressive and expert skill very high, they will close down factories, retail stores that are losing money, and the over-all space will not be so "cramp up" when enough AI killing each other.

Best way to clear up space, is to bankrupt them.

i Also hate that.
why do the have to build there factory's on the places best for shops(customer traffic index)
95% of my factory's are build outside the city, costs are lower(ground purchase) easer to build multiple factories together to supply other factories etc etc.

so for the AI it would also be more profitable to build there factories outside the city. right?
