Buildings

[L o k i]

I don't know if its been discussed but I think we should be able to build houses for more growth, but you have to constantly do it (not a lot) to keep the happiness up and to allow the city to grow further (and please! Don't let there be a limit to the population!!)

Also, I was reading the cruise missile thread, I think that you should be able to hit certain parts of the city (if you have the technology) and houses could be one of them, so thats a better way of killing the population of a city. Actualy, I think telling any unit to attack certain parts of a city would be a good idea.

With regards to your cruise missile idea, I think it should be given to bombers, which means a more realistic WWII in the air scenario could be made.

[OrangeSfwr]

How about as a bomber or CM option where you can hit areas of dense population. I don't like the idea of "building" houses but I agree there should be a way to attack an area of high pop density to lower the city's pop by 1 pt. (or a percentage of the pop).

Loki - For what reason exactly? How is it going to improve the game? Sounds like more effort for not much gain. Like a SimCiv.

You realise that each head in a city is supposed to be 10,000s people, so building "houses" would be more like building an new town's worth of house anyway. So building houses would probably be a bit unrealistic.

No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards...

noooooooooooooooooooo!

you misunderstand me

Firstly, UltraSonix, obviously I'm not talking about a house per person. Look at it like this, the city has 2,000,000 and I would like to see it grow, so obviously, I'm gonna have to build houses for people to live in, so I click on houses in the build menu, and it builds like...200,000 houses or something, and so your city can grow to 4,000,000 over time.

It's not a whole new town! It's a whole new suburb/s!

And now, I have got houses as an option to attack in a city, I can now directly lower the population of a city, CORRECTLY!

Hopefully you see my point in this. I mean, building houses for a civilization is a huge aspect, or do you think we should all live on dirt?

in another thread we were just discussing simplicity...

yeah sure we can make civ 3 feature-rich to make it as realistic as possible... but would it be playable?

frankly, I think this form of micromanagement would really stagnate the gameplay speed...

[UltraSonix]

Yeah, simplicity.

This idea just seems a bit over-the-top...

geez! sounds like you can't handle running a civilization!

If you want to play a simple game! Go play civ1 for gods sake!

[Theben]

For realism's sake, go take a look at Thailand and all it's empty highrises after its boom-economy building spree. Actual construction doesn't make more humans.

[L o k i]

Christs sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANY ****ING IMAGINATIONS!?

DO I HAVE TO ****ING EXPLAIN *E V E R Y T H I N G*??

Can't you just use your logical sense!?

OBVIOUSLY! <<<<<<< !!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the future, things are going to change, If I don't build enough houses for people to live in, I'm going to get a lot of diseases, and poverty, crime etc, THUS lowering the population, because their health is dropping to a point where they are dying!! So, you build houses to keep these problems down!

I'm soo sick and tired of explaining myself to a point where I would be writing a book on it! I expect you people to use your imaginations to your advantage! don't look at my suggestions as THE SUGGESTION, look at my suggestions (AND EVERYONE ELSES FOR THEIR SAKE) as something to work on to make it something worth putting in the game!

God! you ppl act like freakin babies!

[Christantine]

Three Cheers for L o k i!!!
If you want to see someone else explain themselves every post they make go check out my thread...

...Back on topic...

I do have to agree with the others though because that would be micro micro management. Maybe to progress in city size you would have to build housing complexes after the Sewer System like at size 20 and on you would have to build a bigger housing complex every other pop point to advance to a larger one.

GEEZ just give orders to units for city attacks, residental, comerical, industrial, government, utilities. Pick one and that unit will consentrate on it, or pick none and it is done evenly. I don't think we should be moving planes so this could be given to a base or in a window. Simple, not really hard, if we don't have thousands of units moving around in Civ3.

Edit:How did this get posted here, this is for another topic???????????????

For this one I don't like it, you don't build housing the people do, does the government, anywhere any time build housing or suburbs for millions of people???
