Some slides on glass box. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&p...Y5ZTMwNzYzOTNk I haven't read it to make a determination on how much of this was left out / buggy but I do know that slide 49 shows that the sims should route correctly to two objectives. The slide describes ten sims going to...

I feel pretty good about that but I wonder if, like all bureaucracies, there isn't corruption to sidestep the process that are done by the more connected labs.

haha straight to your momma jokes. I don't hold it against people for returning simcity as long as they didn't play it that long. It's one thing to buy it, make a city, realize some of the surprising flaws then read this thread expressing how fundamental those flaws are and decide the game is...

Do you mean extinct in the wild or extinct period, as in not even zoos can save them?

Maybe I'm naive but I'd like to think that researchers only use chimps over mice when they have to because of their higher cognitive abilities and that destitute lives are necessary for whatever research rather than less costly. But I really am ignorant of what that type of research considers...

http://www.reddit.com/r/SimCity/comm...ial_zones_are/ Someone created a city in a new region and only populated it with residential and it got to 200k np. I feel like there's a massive city just outside your region with thousands of sims, jobs and shopping just waiting to pour into your...

Anyone ever use http://en.spaceengine.org/

It would not be trivial to do that and is a much more challenging problem to solve, both computationally and algorithmically. It's something they should have attempted instead of this half-assed system they have now.

Just did a quick test: Basically I created a handful of 'self-sustaining' towns in the city with a balanced RCI brick. The test was to see how well the sims would stay within their own area. As you can see from the fucking traffic jam it didn't work. I probably won't be playing much...

simcity is no A:CM.

haha

Very high. But like all online games the emulation will be incomplete. However for simcity because the amount of information the server needs to provide is so minimal you could easily have reasonable gameplay with a very dumb server. Really the big question is how much effort modding groups will...

Actually please do get into it if you have time.

Here's a good example of the scope being more narrow than I thought:

I take back what I said. The simulation isn't as rigorous as I thought: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Miscellaneo...737060#U737060 If this is all true than the simulation is only there to give an illusion of being and ownership. I was under the impression that the city modeled the 100,000 sims and...

SimCity really is a magnificent and ambitious game. The platform is all there it just needs to be fixed and tweaked. Right now it's at beta level and they really shouldn't have released it for a few months.

Ah, ok. Yeah I guess I don't really care that much about the difference between *hand waving* science-so-great-its-magic and *hand waving* magic. It'd be different if they had an explanation scene describing how Odin has so many midichlorians that he's the only person who can do anything of...

What the fuck is a Rukia? Oh, you mean a character from when bleach was good.

Basically, lol. Once they fix the bugs they need to insert a hard mode that does a variety of things, but also makes your city more RCI dependent and makes the RCI very region dependent. As it is now I'm pretty sure we could make 15 residential only cities in a region and the 16th one could be...

What's funny is that without all the bugs I'd probably quit this game already from how trivial it would be.

To give it longevity they need to: A: balance the trading portion B: fix all the broken features and either 1: Adjust the region/city sizes such that you really can have massive cities. 2: Make it competitive and e-sport enough that people are motivated to figure out ways to eek out as...

Great video for intermediate/advanced users showing how to build a populated, independent city without traffic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV6PrEjaH8Q I'll have to try balancing shit better in the future like this video shows to prevent people from even using the entry/exit of the city...

where did they say that Azgard was scientific marvel?

lol @ all the garbage trucks / ambulances

well I guess I don't know shit about medals then. After looking at it more I changed my opinion to what most people are saying. It's fine having a medal for this dumb shit but don't put it above real medals. Put it just below "Good Conduct" medals, haha...

One thing that makes it hard is that it'd be impossible to conduct an interview with a typical NK citizen where they feel comfortable the interview won't be visible to their great leader.

I love drones, work in robotics and sit on my ass all day and I think getting a medal for operating UAVs or do anything but heroic action in dangerous circumstances is bullshit. Is there anyone out there who thinks that exemplary teleoperation deserves a medal?

would like to read more of this if you have a good article or something about it.

In the original UFCs almost everything was legal but very few groin shots happened, why that was can be debated but I don't think it'd be super common. Yeah exactly.

this screenshot is bullshit fyi. It's comparing SC4's region with SC5's city. And a city in SC5 is definitely smaller than that square. also some more traffic tips: http://www.reddit.com/r/SimCity/comm...rom_developer/ Traffic Pathing Algorithm IndeedOk, now take your road network, and...

Confirmed works: http://www.reddit.com/r/SimCity/comm...eyond_cheetah/

Haha sorry. I love the fine sport of MMA, it's just sometimes I see typical techniques that leave the groin unprotected or other areas and I get the same feeling I get when boxers leave themselves open for leg kicks, or kickboxers leave themselves open for takedowns or wreslters leave...

Nope. I'll have to inject it into a complete/busy city before I make a city around one.

Let's see it bro.

Thought of a layout strategy: The red is avenue, the start point is the center bottom avenue. Blue are streets. There's a half city stretch for the entry way that exits into the center. my hope is that alleviates the bottleneck caused by having one entry way and splits the traffic better...

just like to drop in and say that crossfire is very hit and miss for me, especially on new releases which are like 99% of what I play when I care about graphics.

I was done with stadiums as soon as I realized you had to manually schedule a show.

And just think, every vehicle has the same issues with pathing which is the root cause of why you have so much traffic. Busses are even worse because not only are the destinations goofy, but the paths to those destinations are bad too. And honestly if they didn't fix pathing yet I don't think...

Seems like this shit started this weekend sometime:

I hesitated to post that statement because I wasn't sure how much the English government enforced, enabled or directed the east india company.
