Giant FAQ answering random questions I copied off the official forums: 1) A cluster of cities in the 16 city region are connected by road, but they can connect by other means of transportation. 2) Police Precinct's detective wing needs a university with a school of law, and a completed...

After watching some of the streams last night with people playing multiple cities in a single region it seems like the level of interaction between cities is really substantial. There is the obvious stuff like sharing resources and services, but it went a lot deeper than that. For instance...

I believe all of the beta tests so far have had 3 cities per region, but I feel like I've seen other screenshots with 5 or 6. edit:this articleis a bit dated, but it cites 16 cities/region

Speaking of which, my gold StarCraft champion of the universe title is conspicuously lacking from the new forum.

Fuck wish this deal was available in Canada, been thinking of playing this every day since I got a taste of the first beta, but I'm not looking forward to dropping $60 on it.

I haven't played either of them since their original releases over a decade ago, but if memory serves then I believe DeusEx is probably the best game you can play to follow up System Shock 2.

I'm guessing you'll be able to play in multiple regions with and without your friends. Its seems likely that we'll be able to play together in a few different FoH regions as well as our own private regions separately.

You can control this fairly well through clever game play. As cinge mentioned different road types determine the allowable density. If you don't want highrises, then simply place two lane roads instead of giant avenues. In terms of mansions vs middle income homes, you can control this by...

Preorder only?

1. StarCraft 2. Counter-Strike 3. Diablo 2 4. DeusEx 5.Battlezone

DRM and small region size suck but the game is definitely not trash.

People will just say anything to cover up their shitty play. The dude probably sucked too badly to even think about stealing ravage at the right moment so he was grasping at straws to justify his weak play.

This is awesome, this feature would be a major improvement.

I think I recall reading a few pages back that the reason for the smaller city size is due to the new simulation system. If this is the case, then I think Maxis should be given some credit because the new simulation system is absolutely awesome. Yes, a smaller map size is a high price to pay...

Sadly the regions are not seamlessly connected at all. There are big empty gaps between them, they are placed on the map like completely separate suburban towns. Also, from what I've seen, although the topography varies, all of the cities are indeed perfect squares. Someone mentioned above...

If you have the road grids turned on, and you hover your cursor over an existing to road, it will draw the next grid line for you at the optimum spacing for the next street. I managed to get a city up to 75,000 on my most recent play through using what was pretty close to an optimum grid.

Okay went ahead and played the shit out of this today. Built several different cities, and played through the whole game at max speed to get my city as large as possible within the 1hr limit. I found that the size limitation was not as bad as I expected compared to the videos, but relative to...

Dom's screenshot just got real.

Got the beta, was really excited to try it, but Origin is telling me the servers for SimCity are not available or some kind of faggot tree.

"removed from the whitelist" sounds so much nicer than "banned"

I was watching the video and thinking holy shit, it'd take years for one dude to model, texture and animate 100 new creatures, how the fuck did he do it. Guess that explains it.

Can't believe there isn't a thread on this yet, I just heard of this title today but seems like the alpha has been available for awhile. For us fans of the Minecraft survival/crafting/building genre this looks like the ultimate game. Video below speaks for itself, I'm going to buy the alpha...

Is there a VOD somewhere for this Meepo awesomeness?

Medusa looks pretty crazy

That little teaser vid makes me a bit nervous. If you pay attention to the size of the city boundaries during the fly-by shots they all look extremely small, even the ones that look like they have really built up city cores which would be part of a much larger city in real life.

I bought Windows 8 64-bit OEM for a new PC I'm building. Unfortunately I don't have an optical drive and the OEM CD Key I have won't allow me to download the ISO of the retail version from the Microsoft site. Any suggestions where I might find the legitimate ISO (I really want to avoid sketchy...

On every server we've had since the original one we've always had a steady amount of fairly low level theft/vandalism. But its always been really minor stuff and it's never been a big enough issue to really disturb the community as a whole. No one has ever escalated into full scale destruction...
