Re: RE: I'm going to get insulted for this...

if you spent as much time as you do with your cities as you should spend when thinking about a car, you'd be driving a v8......




well, maybe not, cuz of the damn gas prices... 2.21 here for plus, i say we go on strike for a weekend...

uh... I think about my car and car's in general quite a bit... I don't know how your reasoning is working but thinking about something doesn't make it just happen.

maybe i should just quit trying so hard to pick on good ole fashioned james here, and let him and his little honda be him and his little honda

:dunno

Re: RE: I'm going to get insulted for this...

Ok.. seriously Si... whats the secret with this game... I still suck at it... I always run the city into the ground and get all in debt. Help... :tard

It's all about moderation and a balancing act. R vs C vs I. Residential, Commercial, Industrial.

Most small cities starting out want a lot of R and a lot of I. Build it up, keeping the I a safe distance from the R. Residential zones like high property values, Industrial doesn't.

Once you get safe and start making money year by year... do odd things here and there and zone more of what the demand is for. After that you should start to put some money in the bank. I usually net about 100-150k before I start to go crazy.

I ALWAYS start off in the distance with Light Residential and work towards my downtown area. That way I have time and money to build it how I want it to be built.

If you start to see your city go downhill you need to do three things that always turn it around.

1. Build more police stations. They wanna be safe.
2. build more schools, build a college or two, libraries and a few museums. Smart sims = good aura = more demand for R, C and I.
3. Build ass loads of parks near residential areas.

When I build my cities I start off by blocking an area of 190x190. That's four 4x4 blocks if you go in perfect squares. (tire recycling will drop that to 171x171.) That way I have straight arterial roads all throughout the city.

Industrial will start to whine about connections - build railroads. They will use those railroads like there is absolutely no tomorrow. 90% of the time my railroads are "congested".

So its still basically the same strategy as the very first Sim city. Right?

Working hard for what you want does.

I'd rather have a Civic than a Mustang. Hell, I'd rather have a Honda than a Ford.



I'm already having withdrawls from that game. Maybe I should get back to my game that I started a few days ago. Jamestown is already bigger than Atlanta by population.

I even named it after James since he helped me out, and it has been one of the most successful games that I have played so far on there.

"Look at me I'm working right now"

It's hard to do that when you've been laid off from two jobs within two weeks of each other.

I'm temping for my dad right now, but I still don't have a job lined up.

Bossman: Yeah, pretty much same strategy.

Thanks for the recognition Aundrea.
