Essence & City Creations

How is Essence Suppose to Work?

Finding good essence locations for cities has annoyed me since FE...

With the way SK restrict city to a 5x5 grid, I now have to save, start a city, check essence slots available, and reload & repeat to check nearby areas. While I did notice that the essence square tends to spawn around shards, is there a more definite way I can see how many essence a city location have access to? Also, there are times when I can a "bonus" essence (e.g. map only shows essence on 3 square, but I get 4 for that city) after claiming 2nd essence tile. Is that working as intended or is there a bug?

I agree with your comment. Also, I believe the extra essence is a bug and have already submitted a support ticket for that:

Finding a good essence spot with sufficient productivity on the campaign map is about as elusive as finding the space ponies in SIN (which I still haven`t found yet).

It would be nice if cities has 3-6 essence spots each, so we can make use of the city spells. And maybe take a page from Civ where there is an option to turn on recommended city spot.

Lastly, can we make the fertile land spells 5x5 as well, instead of having to click it one cell as a time?
