City placement when merge occurs

After going through my first merge I was totally disappointed with the placement of cities by Haypi staff. Placing all of the cities in the western half of the map was an easy move, but totally sucks for those of us playing. It would be nice to see a little more effort on Haypi's part to spread cities across the entire map so that more than 1/3 of the map could be played. It is nice that you give us coins to move our cities with but to what advantage is it to move to the east where few if anyone is there to engage?

I completely agree with this, haypi should do something about this IMMEDIATLY!

Yes, so people with a lot of accounts can feed themselves without spending the coins received -.-

Its not a matter of using coins to feed ourselves, its a matter of good game play! The whole idea behind merging servers is to improve game-play, not to make it worse. As it is right now, the game got worse. I used my coins to move my city to a more desirable location but I'm extremely limited to where I can go because all of the cities are in the west. I cannot believe that Haypi staff was so inept in their planning that they would allow something like this to happen!

Haypi gives you 30 coins per branch city in order to avoid complaining about this. Move your branches somewhere else with the coins they gave you. Simple as that.

Haypi gave 30 coins for every city, not 20 for branches and 40 for main

On normal servers usually the cities are placed on the northern part of the map and completely neglects the southern part anyways though o.0 plus, like Arythy/nickrox said you get 30 coins per city you have so you can move them if needed be.

How much trouble would it have been to spread them out in the first place & what good is having the coins to move if almost all of the cities are in 1/3 of the entire map? I did move my cities using the coins give but the fact remains I had more opportunity be for the merge than I do now! If the goal is to improve game play it has totally failed in my opinion. If I want crop oasis's to feed larger troops than my cities alone can afford, I have to move far away from all others. If i want to engage in combat with other cities I need to stay put. Its a no win situation that Haypi has now put me in & it could have all been avoided with decent city placement in the first place using the entire map. I would have still used my coins given me to move my cities but would have actually had options as to where to place them. What is the sense in having a 600 x 600 map if your only going to place people in 200 x 600 chunk of it? It is a stupid move on Haypi's part & needs to be corrected in future merges, if not immediately.

I completely agree with tightliner, as it is now, I have my cities spread out, but after the merge, (from what I hear) cities also get grouped together (your cities get closer) and I like to keep distance and balance between my cities...

Sorry, I was posting from memory. Fixed, thanks.
