An homage to the greatness of Simcity 4

[A Black Falcon]

I just get to Communism and stay in it for the rest of the game... Despotism, Monarchy, Communism. :)

And I said why I don't like Fundamentalism... I do like being able to get science discoveries, and have trouble enough getting them on my own (as opposed to capturing them with cities -- another thing missing in Civ III)... that limitation really hurts. And as I said Communism does quite well in war.

If you're zoning for industrial wind generators won't be enough, but about 20 for a medium sized town of just residential and commercial is enough. Plus you can always buy electricity from a neighboring city that has some to spare.

Before SC4 you couldn't exactly ignore Industrial...

Obviously you've never played SC4. SC4 has valleys, canyons, craters, mountains, steep ridges, and lots of other stuff.

Don't you just sculpt the terrain with lowering/raising tools, like SC2K?

I thought SC2K was incredibly easy, at least on easy mode. I could start up a new town and in no time have a huge city and tons of money, not so with SC3K. Maybe I just didn't take the time to understand it, but I don't think that's the only reason.

I've heard of people who talk like that... but don't understand it. SimCity is so hard... I build stuff, and build stuff, and then run out of money, and it runs until something breaks, then I get into an inevitable cycle of debt until I'm fired... happens most of the time in SC2K and fairly often even in the easy SC3K...
