Anybody who wants to play SimCity 4 MP

[Adagio]

I just found this on the official board:

http://simcity.ea.com/bbs/messages.php?&openItemID=item.261&threadID=899ef3b0e6c4b83f868adf863d9f5517&directoryID=261&startRow=1

It's about how to get the commute time down... haven't tested if it works though...

I know, stupid eh?

I pre-ordered Shadowbane and got an entire box with a CD in it. It advertised having a number of movies, wallpapers, ect... but the CD just links to the webpage where you download them.



EDIT: Nearly forgot what i came here to post. I'm going to be unable to play all next week, so if you don't mind I'll play for four years and cover the next two turns at once.

Under one condition:

When having played 2 years, you write the statistics down, and then again when having played all 4 years... then post both statistics

Energy Crisis Turns into Prosperity

In the biannual address today, the mayor pointed out several improvements our town has undergone in the past two years. Most importantly, the energy crisis that was about to strangle Vovanburg was defeated with the Mayor’s efforts. A new Oil power plant was constructed on the tiny island to the north of the peninsula. In fact, it is far enough from the residential areas, that the air pollution doesn’t reach the noses of the wealthy occupants of beach-side properties. The effect on water is as of yet unknown. The construction of the new plant gave the city so much electricity, that the old natural gas power plant was destroyed, and after a nominal period left for the air to clean up, a new residential district was constructed in its place. That action not only decreased the cost of electricity in the city (as oil power is much cheaper than gas power), but also attracted new population, and tax dollars, as well as more commercial and high-tech enterprises.

Had a short health crisis and a strike (i think) but i quelled it with a clinic before it kicked off big style, built a couple of connections, road and rail to JohnSjVille. Industrial demand seems to be rising now but im gonna try and stifle it with taxes next turn.

Here's the first two years, I'll upload a new save file when I'm done with the next two.


Kreston, 2018

Residential Population: 15 022
Commercial Jobs: 6 054
Industrial jobs: 1 503

There is no sign of the commercial boom stoping, even with Kregston's expansion into the hillsides the overwhelming demand for commercial buisnesses and housing continues.


Here you can see the newly constructed statue of the mayor (top left), overlooking thriving downtown Kregston. The mayor was a bit disapointed with the out turn of the statue, having expected an exquisetely carved granite monument standing atleast 200 ft tall when he ordered its construction.


And a picture of the developing expansion into the hills, and all the way to the west coast. There is still alot of development planned for this area.

I wont be playing my turn before the weekend...

...oh, and I wont be updating the site for the next few weeks, since I'm going to move out in a few weeks (so wont have time for the updating )

A brilliant concept for MP - once I'll get SC4, I'll see if this is up anymore, and then possibly join it.

[Adagio]

Sounds good, you're always welcome

[General Ludd]

Ok, I'm done with my 4-year turn now.

Kregston, 2020

Population: 15 023
Commercial jobs: 6272
Industrial jobs: 880


Things have slowed down a bit, most of the past two years have been spent on beutification and improving the education system. A Museum and a new highschool have been built, aswell as a beach in Kregston harbour. (Which ended up costing more then expected, due to the costs of demolishing houses on the shore, and reconstructing the landscape so that it would be suitable for a beach)

There was also a minor fire in the abandoned industrial sector, and industry seems to be leaving Kregston once again - having droped almost 50% in the last two years.

Demolition and remodeling of the abandoned industrial sector is going to be one of Kregston's new priorities. Plans for new residential and commercial zoning or a University are being considered for the area.

Well, I see you are having slight difficulties with the city, but I must say, wow, the city is so pretty. I mean, it looks awesome in the mountains. Very nice.

I just had a look at the thread size, so it wont be long, before I'll have to start a new thread (almost reached the limit of 500)

Anyway... I'm going to play my turn in a few minutes

[Adagio]

My turn played:

ADGillage
Population: 19,967 (+ 10%)
Comercial Jobs: 5,821 (+ 30%)
Industrial Jobs: 4,650 (+ 50%)

Went much better this turn... Didn't build much though. Last turn was extremely herectic, while in this turn, I just sat down, while collecting money

The only new things that happened during this turn, was:

Build a University
A few new houses was build... houses I have never (in any of my previously games) seen before...

(Will up the game, in the normal spot, in a few minutes)

I wonder what happened to Eli. You want to PM him, ADG?
