Holy shit that looks like an absolute traffic nightmare :lol
I want an expansion that adds:
Those are already in, in a manner of speaking. A arcology can be built at a great works site in a region. It provides the region with a influx of workers, shoppers, and tourists.
When modifying one of the options is a dirt road, you need to extend the current road to add on more dump locations that way. Its the same for wind power.
Same kind of expansion also applies to wind farms. You need to build some dirt roads from within the expansion menu first, yep.
Whattttt I didn't realize that was one of them.
Does it look nearly as cool as any of those?

The 5th can't come soon enough!
If they didn't already have my money I would have preordered just now
For curiosity, here are all the Great Works in the game atm:
Arcology:
(produces Workers, Shoppers and Students)
International Airport:
(produces Tourists, also allows you to sell freight to the Global Market)
Solar Farm:
(produces Cheap, Green Power)
Space Center:
(produces Tourists and Education)

I really hope they tell us the Mac release date shortly after the PC release. I need this... and bootcamp for games never works as good you'd hope.

Was planning on getting this but I'm not entirely sure given the surprise release of the Arma 3 Alpha. What's the best deal on this at the moment, credit aside?

$44.99 digital download pre-order on Amazon when you use the promo code CAGROCKS. I believe today is that last day that the code is valid.
How has he got it on multiple levels, I just assumed that each city would be on flat ground, but it looks like there's multiple elevations for that city. Does each region have different ground elevations?
Each region will have different cities, some with elevation, some are flat. The city in the video is Norwich Hills, which has a lower level and then an elevated plateau.

Anyone have any idea if ordering a digital copy from Amazon.com will activate on an EU Origin account?

those look so much cooler in full res. I really like the Arcology building myself and the Solar Farm.
I am assuming it does, since I and many other Australians have ordered from Amazon too.

Ok I'm almost finished, Titan Gorge only needs the area map fixed and correct names so don't register on that region yet.
http://metalmurphy.org/SimCity/register.php
First 2 regions are done, but I'll leave it to the OP when to actually start accepting registrations. Everyone should register in more then one city just in case someone registered in yours first, the page update will be manual cause I didn't manage to get mysql to work.
Once a region is full, I'll move it elsewhere and open another one.
P.S.- I know the tooltip gets in the way somtimes, it would be a pain to fix, deal with it! -.-

Amazing work! I say we wait with registration start until you get all the regions fixed first

Did you actually register on that one? I have you registered on Sawyers Crossing? First bug already? -.-
It is, but I don't think any changes actually happen to your city while your away, I might be wrong on this one.

Yeah I registered on both XD You said to do a second one just in case so I did Huckleberry Island and then Sawyer's Crossing as a backup. I'd prefer Huckleberry though.

So awesome. Thanks for doing this. I would have loved to have made something like this for the OT but I wouldn't even know where to begin.
As Smiley said, I say we wait for a while until we start registering. Once it's all sorted and sexy, I'll put it in the OT
I want to do this but I have no idea if I will be able to get the mac version. It's annoying that EA is sending mixed messages. I wont be able to get the discount because of that.

Hum, weird, only got the first one.

The simulation only runs in your city while you're playing the game. When you leave the game- simulation stops. Any services you setup or volunteered for other cities in the region still work while you're AFK.

Thanks
It actually looks like it only took the second one. I did Huckleberry Island first.Anyway, switch me to Huckleberry Island if you get a chance. That was the one I wanted MOST OF ALL OMG.
Also the avatar on there looks awesome!
while you're not logged in, the game will "go" as far as regional stuff goes (e.g. your utilities will be kept shared), but your city won't actually progress.

Thanks
I'll actually remove it as per OP orders and go finish region 3 instead.
That list on reddit looks sick, definitely gotta have something similar to that.
So wait, should we start signing up now? Or wait? And yeah, I think once we've signed up and assigned, the 4 people in the mini-region should determine an overseer, and the 16 people in a region can pick a "governor"

Oh, damn it all!
That's the thanks I get for helping you bug-test it? Wait. The OP wants to start registrations when all the regions are finished and ready to go.

Wait, what do u mean. I need to do the smaller regions too?
I thought we were only gonna do 16 city GAF regions (which are just 3)
Cjdamon042

Well I don't actually mind either way. We can start it all up now if that's what everyone prefers?

Sweet. My region-securing finger is ready.
I just want to be in Viridian Woods. It's too awesome to miss out on. So everyone can secure 2 spots? How do we declare which one's our first choice and which one's our second, will that just be randomly assigned?
I can make one. I'm just saying at the end of the day I want to play natively. It would really suck if I have to purchase a whole different copy of the game to play in OSX. I could risk it and then sell my code on gaf or something I guess.

Either Discovery Delta or Viridian Forest for me. Want somewhere central too to get the nicest view
