Disasters are a good idea...

Imagine in the online world : MC are the disaster controller, and destroys cities for their pleasure lol

Hurricanes wouldnt work except for costal citys.

Realistic floods would be nice. make you think twice about that scenic river through downtown.

But the ability to turn them off i would like, in case it gets like the older games and there are disasters every other year. And not being able to build tall buildings around the airports.

The whole idea behind cities xl is to be as realistic as possible, simulating real life where possible, this includes disasters as they occur in real life and can be simulated in-game.

plus it is fun destoying your city before shutting down, after saving it of course

You do not need to be right on the coast for a hurricane to hit you hard.   Living in florida i know that all too well.

Oh man i would definitly be down with a tsunami or nuke and watch the way the effects of both diasters in my city.

like watching a devistateing tsunami crash against all your skyscrapers and fill every street, or witness the effects of a nukes shockwave reek havok on everything!!!!!

Mwahhahahahah....

It will be nice to see a Giant Woman destroying city ;D

All of them! I love a little chaos! LOLz. I would love to make a city get through the tough weather patterns and still be a great city. I love challenges like that! I want to make a city like New Orleans and see first hand how it is to manage a city like that.

Drought would be interesting.

Half of the fun of all Simcity games for me was building up a city, then seeing how it copes with a major or minor disaster, then rebuilding afterwards. Sometimes I build memorials to those who died; it all just becomes part of the city's history. They should be able to be turned off however, because some people don't like them, and to be honest I'd rather they happened mostly when and where I say, because I'm a control freak when it comes to disasters.. I'd rather we control their position and timing like SC4 rather than completely random as in earlier games.

Games like city builders and The Sims wouldn't be the same without things going wrong from time to time.

Cities XL should incorperate the disaster effect to affect more then and small area of land (like Sim City 4, 3000) and have a large effect on more sectors of the game (e.g news feed (in other cities, economey etc.)

I would love floods, since I think it's something that many cities have to deal with quite often. The best example I can think of right now is parts of Southeast Asia during monsoon season, which lasts several months. There, people continue with their lives right in the floodwaters. I think it's something that traditionally is cause for joy, since for them water is so important to agriculture and life. Anyway, a prolonged flood or firestorm would be really cool. It'll be fun trying to manage your city through a long-term disaster that you really have little control over. What I mean is doing things like re-routing power lines, keeping the water supply clean, the transportation system operating, etc during a major disaster.

since they have the PO it would be very nice to affect the planet. have other cities help the troubled city or they can ignore them.

[DazzaDazza 29]

ha ya the hand of god, remixedcat i would ignore them until they gave me a exponent amount of money to help, just like real life.

[JolsonLim 1]

I would say

1. Economic Crash

2. Bomb Plot

3. Train/Subway/Monorail?El-Rail Derailment

4. Prison Escape (Crime rate would be higher)

5. Plague (Hospitals would have to work at higher compacities)

6. Big Protests (no really a disaster but if it turns into a riot, it would be considered one)

7. Plane Crash

8. Suburbification (When the city gets poorer, all middle class or up move to the suburbs while crime and poverty replaces it)

These are all realistic disasters. I would say they should add a few along with the current ones and maybe ones like blizzard and tsunami .

It's not really a disaster in the sense that it happens at random, but I think it would be cool if when your mayor rating (or equivalent of, I don't know the ins and outs of CXL) drops too low, then rather than being fired, the people of your city start to blow up buildings from your city until it is just a shouldering pile of ash. Nothing rubs dirt in to the wound like seeing your city leveled by the people you built it for!

[CLR95 11]

I voted for flood, but then realized that if there was a hurricane, it would flood as well. So, I should've voted for hurricane!

[Philadelphia 25]

I wouldn't mind a realistic tornado and car accidents are good, car crashes are in simcity but they just disappear, Car accidents in CXL shouldn't disappear unless something is done about them. And aircraft accidents seems like a great idea. And last but not least.....THUNDERSTORMS! I wanna see lightning, rain, and hear thunder with just one click of the mouse!!!!

Im surprised not many people have mentioned volcanoes. The ones in SC4 are really unrealistic. I don't want just lava, it should have earthquakes, clouds of ash, acid rain, etc. with it as well. With all those things combined, it would be awesome! The more realistic, the better. Just imagine a volcano near a crowded city erupting, it would be devastating! But the player should know where the volcano is and it would be stationary. The player would build in the areas around it at their own risk. Eruptions would be random but you could turn them off =P. To me this would be the ultimate disaster!

If there is a meteor disaster, it should have a VERY large impact zone, not like these tiny craters in the game

[mayor_brando 8]

I would like to see tornados in Cities XL. In SimCity4, these are my favorite disasters. I hope in Cities XL you can control how big the twister is, from F-0 to F-5.

I hate to spoil this thread, but I have some bad news.

http://www.incgamers.com/News/17510/no-natural-disasters-in-cities-xl

There will be NO disasters in Cities XL, unfortunately.

[CLR95 11]

how do you know that's true? If there r no disasters, it will be just as un-sim city like as Sim City Societies!

[mayor_brando 8]

Well, that's disappointing...

[citiesxlfan42 27]

Ahhh... SC4 car crashes. "WHEEEEEE!!! I'm Spinning around down this road like a pinball machine!" Those were bad news. I wanna see some insane car crashes. Cars going into lobbies and living rooms, and flipped over cars! Also, hurricanes. SC: S "Killer Storm" was monkey poo. Oh look, honey, it's raining and now City Hall is bouncing to the ground. I would like to see one with trees snapping, flooding, houses underwater, stuff like that. Level the city if it's below a certain elevation. Like New Orleans. And oh yea. Autosauruses, living burger mascots throwing plates, and zombies shouldn't be in Cities XL.

It would be neat to have non-destructive disasters, sort of like disruptions. Like a truck rollover blocking a downtown road, or a plane having to land on a highway or ditch in the water. It would make it more realistic and would look cool! Just think of seeing the police in your city suddenly closing a highway then a plane lands on it because it can't make it to an airport! Or a ship getting thrown onto shore by a wave in a storm.
