What do you want in Cities Xl?

[thejester 0]

alot of rly cool ideas here

what id personaly like to see improved is the highways...

- You shud be able 2 build highways on top of roads to save space in more denser cities

- A big variety of interchanges and different types of highway

- I think it wud be really cool if you had stacked highways like in seatle were the lanes are on top of eachother to save space also i wud like 2 have underground highways

i wouldnt mind if MC delayed the game a bit to add these features

A Quick wish-list of improvements above and beyond what SimCity 4 allowed:

Better (especially Small) "City" type transit options -

Sidewalks, pedistrian pathways, bicycle pathways; then streets / roads / avenues; and then trains / subways / highways / air/sea/space-ports. With actual functional transit (paths?) between intra-city ports, inter-city / intra-region ports, and (maybe?) inter-region ports.

Having actual destinations in neighboring cities (maybe even in neighboring regions) - once these are actually incorporated (played / started). Maybe a way to plop eye-candy (Fire Hydrants / Newspaper Boxes / Rural Mail Boxes / Telephone Booths / Park Benches / bus stops / subway access / etc) on existing sidewalks or along beside tranist routes that don't automatically include sidewalks?

If / When modding permitted - better tools / abilities for transit enabling non-transit lots - and / or placing transit in non-conventional areas (such as plopping subway / bus Access on existing sidewalks). Water Transit pathing, maybe? Maybe - underwater transit (a.k.a. Submarines)?  A way to add in additional transit "Types".

Surface Water - where raised and underground transit can cross as-is - but ground transit has to be converted to either raised or undergournd to cross; with shallow draft water transit. Water-falls and Hydro-Electric Plants.

As well as the Deep Water - where raised and ground level transit requires bridges to cross - with deep draft water transit.

Ability for "Over Ground" Bridges to convert directly to "Over Water" Bridges (and vice-a-versa) - and the ability to place ground level transit such that it crosses under "Over Ground" Bridges; and remeber to allow water transit to cross under "Over Water" Bridges - at least whenever the water level isn't at too high of a Flood Stage to allow this..

Ability for bridges (at sufficiently differrent Heights /  Elevatoins) to cross - maybe bridge intersections if both at same height (would an "Over Water" Highway Clover Leaf  "Bridge" Intersection be just too much?)

No detail is too small to be micromanaged.

Something I've been hoping for for a long time is the UDI function. I'm sure with the 3D camera, you could drive a car like you would in a racing game!! Also, the graphics would be better up close to your car than in sc4, you know, when it gets all blurry and pixelly

I would really like to see- a real suburbia,- with houses close to eachother, a lot of stuff seen being built around Toronto, and I'm sure other place in the US

Thats what I'd like to see.

WEATHER!!!!!! SimCity should be nothing but sand, there is no rain!!!! LOTS of clouds but no water! My sims are unhappy with the never ending sun and need a change!

i want it to have replay value... for it to run smoothly.... and an automatic play mode (where the user could sit back and watch their city develop in single player) with real world city templates
