I'd expect them to work how HF did over HL. Start small, increase rapidly. Get ready to sell your arms and legs..
I meant they are making the game impossible for new players. Understand that Acetown? Your a mod your supposed to jump for joy.
Make the prices for the lands big, but only allow T4 to be built. That way HFBC don't gain a massive advantage, but it's static stat increase if they want it.
