New HQ buildings in upcoming version 10.0

The upcoming version 10.0.0 will introduce two brand-new headquarters buildings with cutting-edge modern architecture design, replacing the old headquarters buildings.

Both buildings are 3x3 in size.

does this replace the existing 4x4 building ? or is it just a 3rd option ?

good

I like having a 2x2 sq for an HQ.

I put my HQ's downtown, a 2x2 tower is the only practical option.

Please keep a 2x2 HQ.

that's why I was asking the 2x2 seems fairly new anyway,

One of the main reasons to make both HQ buildings 3x3 is to improve gameplay balance, as both HQ buildings have the same capacity, it is more logical to have both occupying the same amount of real estate footprint.

I just tested a game and I could easily build a 4x4 HQ in downtown, as there was plenty of space available in downtown. If cash is an issue, you can increase the amount of initial cash your company has from the new game settings menu.

I always saw it as the 4x4 being the cheaper.. option where its all on 1 floor, and the tower block 2x2 where the same options were on multiple floors...

I would have liked to see it where the tower block version took less space, but had higher running costs.

though i guess we can mod that back in after if people really want it.

Are there any plans to add running costs to HQ as by default its very low.. you can have a corporation with 1 trillion a year in income, but it costs less than 500k to run the HQ,

In the upcoming version 10.0, the concept you mentioned will be applied to apartment and commercial buildings, though it doesn't affect HQ buildings as the capacity of both HQ buildings is the same.

The details are as follows:
Taller apartment and commercial buildings with increased rental space, but occupying the same land footprint, will come at a higher construction cost compared to earlier versions. This update presents players with a choice: they can opt for a shorter building with a lower construction cost and less rental space, or they can go for a taller building with a higher construction cost and more rental space.

i think that is a good change.

regarding the running cost of HQ, i think this should scale as the corporation does rather than remain static. as a company with 1 million turnover would have lower HQ costs than one with 1 billion
