Sounds like some good improvements and fix's, not really noticed any bugs myself yet. Gradually building up my first city so once i get to grips with it all i might notice a few things!
My City is completely dead. When trying to load it I receive "Unable to load city at this time, please try again later" or such... Its a MAJOR bug that clearly still hasn't been addressed. I'm not the only one either. ;( I've lost all interest in playing this game already.
Ive had the other one the doomsday glitch lol unable to progress city. It's a ok game but I only play for a few hours in a week
That sucks your city is still there and active too, i get thieves from your city going to mine, I can even go and visit your city too! I purchased the game against my better judgement, just hope they sort your game out. I guess its something I can look forward to at some point.
