SimCity4 RH MP Game, revisited

[:) Smiley]

Much developable land still remains to the south, and the downtown core has many opportunities for upzoning as well. This is being planned for the next Five Year Plan.

Finally, an overview of East Central. Things have come a long way since the early days of tin shacks, apple farms, and chemical plants.

Hello again I finally broke down and bought this (the Deluxe ed was 24.99 USD at Best Buy until 6/25!) ... can't install yet, but maybe tuesday. Will do some SP first before I jump in with this PBEM like stuff though I think

There will be another game, right?

[mrmitchell]

wow, no idea we were such an effective salesman for Maxis

Better than another game. You can jump in this game when you feel ready. There's still several unclaimed lots. The more, the merrier.

Smiles! How realistic is my city? I didn't use any specific real world idea as an inspiration when I planned it, myself, but maybe somehow someway it's still realistic. (I doubt it.)

Yes, some comments about Y city would be nice... Sorry for not updating over the weekends, issues with the nvidia firewall were causing random bluescreens, leading to irritation on my part. I think I have the issues resolved and intend to play to 2045 tonight. (I will grab the 2040 saves at the appropriate time)

Fray Bentos '45

Stats:

9,405
36,086
10,713

The past 5 years in Fray Bentos were spent improving on existing residential areas and bringing an overall more realistic (if not more attractive) look to the city.

The old residential and commercial areas were seperated by plazas, open grasslands and forests. In the new residential area a beach was cleaned of toxic runoff and designated safe, this gave a big boost in desirability and saw lots of luxury apartments pop up overlooking the coast.

Although theres still lots of undeveloped land in Fray Bentos, i think its unnecessary to use it all for the city to feel "complete". Ill give it 5 or 10 more years to fix the remaining problems.

El Dorado 2045 is up

Soon.

While waiting on uploading it to Angelfire ( )

PICTUARS TIME

1 of 4

Finally El Dorado is starting to get a peice of Taipei's high rise development pie.

And it's damn time too, after all our investment in human services and low taxes. We won't just go the easy way out like the rest of yall and let the commercial districts boom and bust on hyperspeed. No! We here in El Dorado are doing our part to fill the residential demand. No easy money in this city. I can proudly say there was not a single tile of medium or high density commercial zoned between 2040 and 2045.

El Dorado's GRRRRRREAT educational system

Lee Elementary serves New El Dorado's exploding population. Due to the huge amount of students, El Dorado Elementary (in Old El Dorado, south of Cliffside Avenue) was upgraded to handle much larger capacities, and now some children from the high rise developments of the New city are bussed down to the old rich city (although with recent rezoning there has been an explosion of its own in development south of the Avenue.)

To better serve the city, Patton High School moved down the street into a much larger facility. Enrollment in it has doubled.

Out of picture: a new library serves exclusively the northern chunk of the city, and a new hospital is placed in Spleen Park (now known as Cherry Vanilla Park.)

Dr Pepper Stadium, home of the undefeated El Dorado Llamas.

(We motivate our athletes very well. Area 51 has nothing to do with it.)

Bubble Junction '45

Bubble Junction made it through the commercial bust relatively well, and is looking forward to the next boom.

I've made an avenue connection to Y City, it should be lined up perfectly with the avenue near the rail connection.

[Atragon]

*gulp* That makes me nervous...

Anyways, I am up to 2040, massive commercial boom, stats now:
R: 141,865
C: 71,668
I: 7,357

Several of the less desireable business deals have been vacated from the city to make room for an expansion of the industrial and commercial zones. High-Tech industry is slowly replacing Manufacturing, and high-rises are sprouting up all over.

Note, no time to go to 2045 tonight.

Y CITY

Go ahead and extend that avenue all the way to my city as a connection. I've got plenty of space cleared out for it.

[Atragon]

Which one mrmitchell?

[mrmitchell]

The one that is already up against the border with El Dorado and is on the west side of the river.
