My main FC managed to put 17 bids on a large this round and won the beachside shiro mansion. 722.5mill invested, ofc only 1 bid pays and the FC reimbursed the winner.
This is only round 2 so a lot of FC were waiting on plots like the shiro one to open up. We didn't bid first round at all.

I wouldn't expect the wards to go private until 6.2 since they said they would review come the next patch I believe? FC's that did bid went for large then med/large and next round whatever is left I am sure.
