Introduction
Hello, welcome to Bedford: A Competitive Region city journal. Like the description I hope to share with you my experiences working on a large private region. Keeping it brief, I hope this city journal two share two things with you:
- Cool photos and story throughout development of the region.
- Tips and tutorials based on issues I faced while building the region.
And yes, my aim is to work my way up the rankings (at least in the "good metrics") within SimCity World on the NA East 1 Server while also hopefully building interesting cities.
My username is strandx and I play on NA East 1, please feel free to add me and have a look!
Full disclosure, I've been working on the region for a while so the first couple entries will be based on old experiences.
I love statistics so....

As an introduction I'll just post a few pics and leave the story to later entries...and by the way all of this is done on a 27" iMac so you can click on the images for hi-res.
A view of Moncton, the smallest town in the region with just over 10k people. Across the bay is Springfield, the largest and oldest city with over 63k people. The pic is taken from the top of a hill through the trees. You can also see in the distance the solar power plant powering the region.
This is Texaco, a former oil city (I'll get to that in a later entry), it is the second largest and second oldest city in the region with a population of 56k. The city has been "greened" a lot lately and you can see how I use mixed density. The solar plant was essentially built on the back of Texaco and it nearly destroyed it, with Springfield and the other cities having to bail it out on several occasions (its population swung from as high as 100k down to 20k). It seems to be on the upswing now though, having successfully transitioned from oil boomtown to a high tech hub.
This is downtown Springfield. Springfield has quite a high concentration of wealth in its downtown core.
Another shot of Texaco's main street. You can see that I also mix my wealth a lot, traffic can also be a problem. The city lights in the background is Allentown, my hardworking metals city. All four cities: Springeifld, Moncton, Texaco and Allentown are all located on the same bay.
That's all for now!
