For what it's worth, I watched a fire truck drive in an infinite U-turn circle while a nearby house burned to the ground. Nothing else really seemed changed in the hour or so I played today.

I have never gotten so much fun out of a game I haven't played.
OK, MLB 2K9's barrel roll and NBA Live's Jesus Bynum provided great fun. Actually, nothing beats Jesus Bynum, my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.

Some shots of one of my GAF cities. The planning view shot at the bottom shows the separate segments of the poor (next to the manufacturing facilities), middle class (in the corner), and wealthy (on a gleaming hill) districts.
You can also see a lot of detours used to route traffic. Jams aren't much of a problem in this city.
Notice the many space saving strategies used to pack as much shit as possible into one space.

Cranking up the texture settings fixed that for me.

Thank you!
My screenshots were taken at high settings, so it doesn't work for me, i guess
2 more, showing some space optimization of the top hill that I just did. Circle road layout could fit about 14 high density buildings plus a Sears Tower. Rectangle fits about 26, no tower. You can see that my population increased from the previous screenshots by about 30k.
Here is also a diagram showing the traffic flow for the top. Red line is the main traffic flow. High density street. Green lines are the minor exit paths, medium density streets so that the red line has the right of way and doesn't have to stop.
Here is another "looking up" shot:

I wanted to see the population numbers too.
Valid point!
Very nice looking city, visually appealing.
If anything, these 'miniature' cities makes the in-game cities look reminicent of the exaggerated SimCity cityscape boxarts.

Thanks for the thought, though

I'm confused here. Is the double decker bus terminal functionally the same as a normal bus terminal apart from allowing double decker buses to roam your city's streets? Does it accept regional buses?
This is amazing!
I've found that regular city buses still operate if there's only a regional bus terminal in the city, as long as you keep the original city depot alive (but you can turn it off to save $$$). If you destroy it or its garages however the city buses go away.
If this is a bug or intended behaviour though I don't know.
Awesome! Very impressive considering the landscape you had to work with.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to fill expo centres/stadiums, not even just consistently, at all.

Yep, got it yesterday night in France
But it's tied to the Origin account, you don't get a code you can give to a friend.

Ok, fairly new Simcity player here so I might be missing something obvious.. What can you do once your region runs out of water? Is there a method to producing more?
Sewage Spill Centers just dump all the sewage in the ground, creating pollution.
Sewage Treatment Centers treat all the sewage water and pump fresh water into the ground, creating.. water.
Put a pump (or a Pump Station) near your sewage treatment facility and you get free water forever (as long as you have sewage coming in).
You need the advanced something something city services whatever extension on your Mayor... city... thing.

Ah, thanks!
I'd really heavily invested in electronics processing and it destroyed my water table. Will give that a try now to replenish my dying cities.

Do you have a river or any other body of water in one of your cities? If so, stick a water plant there.
Starting a new NeoGAF region on the Antarctica server! Sorry I've been away the last days. Now it's time to get this baby going! If you want to join the region, post in this thread or pitch me a PM.
Remember that you have to have logged on to the server (Antarctica) for me to be able to invite you to the region!

Had already found you from some pages back and had just added you!
Any preferences on region?
Cool, let's try something besides Titan Gorge then (or Titan George as I like to call it, from that swedish gamer guy)
Sounds good!
EDIT: Friend invites sent!

Wow, nice city.
I see that you are using a Nuclear plant to power your city, can you give us a radiation/health map?
I'm confused about something... for the big regions (16 city / 11 city), are all the cities tied together?
Or are they separated into further smaller "sections"? Can you send services to help any of the 16 cities and collaborate on all Great Works together?
Not sure how it works, it looks like they are not tied together by Road.

I'm not Rentahamster, but I've never had problems with Nuke Plant as long as you have a Community College being filled.
For the 16 city regions you cannot work on great works together. It is 4 cities clustered together who work on their own great work. So if my city was not in that cluster, I can't contribute resources to it.
However I seem to benefit from it and other things those cities build. I know when I started a city away from the original 4 cluster my friends started, I got messages immediately about there being an airport in the region and department of finance and all that kind of stuff so I didn't need to build anything on my city hall.
I have noticed that one city in the cluster of four will be connected to one city in another cluster of four either by road or rail. And those two cities can send fire trucks and other service vehicles to each other. Not sure about power/water/sewage but it's probably also true for that.

I don't know how he does it. His expo center and globe fill every night before 8I and he makes like 60k a day from Willis tower.
Ok thanks for the info! I hope your second paragraph is true.
Yeah I get that kind of stuff all the time. I don't understand it.

I get that a lot, also "where's the shopping in this place" when shops are right next to them. Ugh
At least with "this area needs some parks", it's a case of the land value being lower than its inhabitants. If you have §§ inhabitants, and remove parks, and the land value goes down to §, then it's not downgraded automatically, and they get pissed.
As for the rest of the messages, it's simply "you have too few/many residents per shop"
Sent you a friend request!
