Anybody who wants to play SimCity 4 MP

Well, I've looked over the cities of you all, and here is what I'm thinking:

I'm thinking we have hit some kind of cap or another. Our growth rates are pretty pathetic (and for some of us - negative!), and there isn't much progress... Any one agree / have any ideas on how to break that cap?

[Adagio]

I wish I have the solution for this problem... but I have the same problem in my current (SP) game

[vovan]

I heard somewhere (on the official board maybe?) that building a landmark would solve the problem, but every time I open the landmarks menu I get kind of lost (never built landmarks any way... The only landmark I remember building was St. Basil's Cathedral, while building Moscow... Other than that, they don't really appeal to me...), so I get lost every time I open the landmarks menu, and am not really sure what to build...

[Adagio]

I always wanted to build a landmark...but I've never got enough money to build one

[General Ludd]

hum, Kregston might make a landmark a new goal... Still need to get that recycling plant first, though.


Do landmarks cost any money to place, or is it just the monthly upkeep?

No ones got airports yet have they? I know Jonny's got a seaport, maybe if we all had airports we'd get a steady influx around each city (providing we have adequate schooling health etc to keep demand high)

[vovan]

Yeah, an airport might help. IIRC, seaports only attract industry - not people. I don't really have enough space for one, though... There are two islands on my map that are still empty but I already got them in sight for residential development (as that's what's mostly in demand.) I guess I could squeeze it on the mainland, though... I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

[Maquiladora]

Yeah in SC3K seaports only helped industry, and airports usually commercial demand, but airports likely bring residential too. I dont think the residential demand just dries up in a sim nation, you just have to work out whats stifling it, poor health education no jobs whatever.

I would have a difficult time making space for an airport in Kreston.

I would have a hard time as well, as most of the space I haven't built on is quite hilly.

[Adagio]

I would have space to buld it, but I don't have the money to buy it...

EDIT: What I wrote before didn't make any sense at all...

New turn starts: 2018

Seems like Eli missed the last turn (or did I miss it?)

[vovan]

Yep, Eli didn't play the last turn...

I will play mine soon. For now, though, I just wanted to point out that for those of us that didn't get the bonus transportation CD, it is now up for download (officially):

http://simcity.ea.com/coolstuff/landmarks/index.php

I don't know if it's still buggy though.

[Adagio]

I believe it's still buggy, so I wont download it anyway...

[Adagio]

Btw, did they really release this bonus cd as a cd for itself? to waste a 650 mb cd, with a 1.4 mb file
