It's Rush Hour in SimCity

[Grumbold]

Show me a real town where the police, fire, education and entertainment budget are so well supplied that the citizens are happy and I'll guarantee someone somewhere is close to rioting over the level of tax they are paying to support it. In SC4 you can broadly satisfy your citizens demands. That is the most unrealistic part of the simulation

[alva]

Actually, my biggest gripe with SC4 is the wrongfull implementation off Micromanagement.
I don't think this game is about checking each and every hospital, school, power, water etc... every month in order not to get any strikes but how and where to put your roads, commercial and residential zones to maximise efficiency.

[Adagio]

Yeah, they should have put in an automatic for this. In real life the schools sends a mail to the mayor before going on strike, not after... at least I think so...

Well, I have the $20 X-pack, but I won't be able to really play it until Friday evening at the earliest. I've got a bunch of architecture stuff to do this week with a likely all-nighter on Wednesday night into Thursday to look forward to...

Side note: Bought it from EB, but also made the impulse buys of $15 Civ3:Play the World and $10 Battlecruiser Millenium. Grand Theft Auto III was pretty tempting at $20, but I might not bother.

The Gold edition will include PTW. The expansion can be played without PTW.

I have rush hour and it is somewhat eaiser to play than Simcity 4. They have added quiet a bit of new stuff.

At the Civ3 site, it said you do not need PTW to play with this new expansion. All you need is Civ 3. I have not heard that it would include PTW as part of it.

Civ 3 gold edition is going to be release with PTW, but you will have to buy the next expansion separate.

From the FAQ:

You will not need Civilization III: Play the World in order to play Civilization III: Conquests since it will contain all content including: Civs, leaders, special units, and features from the Civilization III: Play the Worldâ„¢ expansion.

And so as to not completely thread jack this... how about some screenshots from those who have it?

...and you're talking about screenshots for RH? Or Civ3?




I've got RH, but I don't have any large cities yet (Restarted the game), so I can only post screenies of my small town...
