Had to doze my entire city because of fires and disaster and economic collapse. Of course now I have no money to restart it :p
 
Need somebody in Harper Plains in our first region or whatever. I'm getting lonely. :(

Yeah I'm still trying to get the hang of the economics. Also the "agents" for water and power, you can have a huge excess in water or power but still not have enough, somehow, to provide water/power to all your buildings.

Having tons of fun with it though. A small city plot hasn't meant capping out in a short period of time at all. I've only just been able to upgrade the "Metals HQ" one time, haven't touched any of the other specializations yet, and only built on two plots.
 
Game is definately fun, if it would continue to work though... I've got several buildings that have just stopped working completely.

I build maxis man HQ and sent him on like 3 missions... he never came back.

I've got a recycling center that just filled up and stopped producing plastics and stuff.



one think I see has a long term problem... resources go away, even water... I've drained most of my water so what then? my neighbors will eventually have the same issue and I can't 100% rely on others for my resources.
 
Finally got it installed :p - Origin ID is Machupo if anyone still has an available slot

edit... ok, all done updating

FFFUUUUUU, EA. can't claim a city because it's too busy.

I'll try this in a couple days.

My city can be renamed to fail town =.=

Something felt fishy...


At a certain point the whole city becomes a gridlock, ambulances, police, fire trucks can't move. City just fails..... Even with all upgraded roads, public transport, education, etc.

Sounds a lot like Tropico 3/4 in that regard, and I felt that when I was playing it today. They both simulate individual citizens; They get up in the morning, drive/walk to work, construction/delivery vehicles have to move about on the roads etc. This means that you're effectively limited by how well you can handle traffic. The let's plays I watched leading up to release never seemed to encounter severe traffic problems. Maybe the "let's all be mayor" guys know something we don't? Something more to figure out! :D
 
I am installing this right now and just waiting impatiently to play this ... drooool
 
Oh before I forget. I named my city Puss Puss and it wouldnt display that name....LOL..you kidding me? I had to change it to Kitty Kitty.

I'm really not sure what I'm going to be doing yet. I would be happy to help with whatever is needed.

Yep, I got to 120k or so and I had to rip apart the middle of my city and redesign the infrastructure with avenues with street cars. It's still bad but not as bad. I need to redesign the highway connection first as it comes into an avenue/avenue intersection and it's crushed.

Made a new city and this happened to me. Got to around 60k people - have a ferry, train, street cars, municipal busses and every street is a high density avenue. Made sure not to have any intersection close to where the highway ramp is as well and built in big rectangles to minimize intersections overall. All my buildings are burning down, crime is out of control, sims get sick and die because traffic simply does not move it's so backed up from the highway ramp. Top it off that my trade depot deliveries cannot be sent out so I am going broke.

Mine is BeavermanA if someone has a region with spots.

Finally got some decent game time late last night on some random public region and was quite enjoyable.

Yeah, It's pretty fun when you can actually play :mad: I keep crashing to desktop today. Worked fine last night. Hopefully they can fix this soon so we can work on world domination!
 
casino's and or moving vans can cause massive grid lock.

the best thing to do is to expand slowly to make sure you dont have too many moving vans or construction vehicles all trying to get in the city at once. also putting a park and ride on the right side of the entrance to your city helps
 
sometimes my city is like super pro. and then other times theyre like more residential bro. but my map is basically capped... looks like this is the thread for people to escape the EA bashing
 
sgtcurry on origin here.

My current city is stuck at 260k population and I am negative with the exception of the money I get from expo events keeping my city alive lol. I really should have thought about the road setup more because if I want the high rise buildings I have to mow down half of my town lol.
 
I was raking in money with a mining town, and an oil town. Then I tried to make a tourist / gambling town. Now I am dead broke and I'm pretty sure this is the fall of civilization.
 
Camisado and I were looking at the game, is there still spots for both of us?
