Hi Lurch.

It's all a question of game stability. Many people (usually those with older devices but not always) are still facing crashes and these are suspected to be due to over-animation and village size.

The increased zoom from Version 1.16 is an attempt to improve game stability.

Until they can be comfortable with stability, there's likely to be no further expansions. I know this puts the interests of the minority (those who have game crashes) over the majority (those whose devices can easily handle extra graphics) but this is where TinyCo is heading. The company doesn't want to make work for itself.

What else could it do? Well, it could lower animation, but probably only of the smoke coming out of the stores. The dino movement (including Topsy) is a feature that helps sell the game and its premium currency (crystals) and this is probably also so for the workers and haulers bashing away at their tasks as well as the various animated decorations.

In addition, that just 3 extra expansions (9x9) is a LOT in comparison to existing village size. It would make your villages 6241 squares (79x79) compared to 4900 (70x70), which is a 27% increase. If implemented, this is all we'd be likely to achieve.

So, in short, no time soon.

Hope this helps and season's greetings to all.
