Hey Yarabundi, I cant see them either..? sob

Hmm, I hope this discussion doesn't get out of hand. There´s really hard questions involved here, and good points made by all sides. So, everyone! - don't pretend this is a black and white case, or that your have all the answers. 1 - The discussion on the quality of uploads is very delicate. Bottom line is to choose between a sensorship to control the STEX or to allow the users to sensor their own contributions. I hope we can get the last to work, cause the alternative is so bad. Really its a matter of lesser evils, there is NO EASY SOLUTIONS. 2 - Maps on the STEX or on a MEX. A tough call. Technical issues? Isn't a filter on the STEX ok? Do maps take to much attention from the BATS? I have read the many posts on these questions, and though I before thought that a seperat MEX would honor both MAPS and BATS, I realize now that there is more to it. Another problem here is that maps can be flotted by maps! I agree with Justin that theres a few maps that was just made in ten secs on the map maker program and uploaded because it looked nice. To such a map next to a handdrawn beauty is a whole different problem, seperate from the STEX/MEX discussion, but connected to the question of a sensor on uploads. @Justin: You know I am a fan of yours, and I support your right to defend your ART of mapmaking, but frankly I do not think the rating system works very well. PLease read Voar_Tok's omnibus article on the problems. So even if you get only 10/10, which I truely think you deserve, its a slightly vauge argument to use. This said, I have seen many 10/10 maps from your hand! (and I do owe you several bottles of Carlsberg) Lets keep the many conflicts seperated and solve them ONE AT A TIME in good manners!

Hey Jeeper, i think your right, those skyscrapers are on a fairly early stage ... very wierd and strange contribution. LOL - can ya dig it...

So do we!! So let's se yours..?

(MISTAKE)

Hey Andy! First of all: Man is never alone! Second: Its a great idea. I support it, but I'm afraid to post new ideas now that they have just made this complete makeover. Seems like something my mother would do..? Where can I vote for it?

Well, just as one could expect. Simtropolis one step ahead! Cant beat these guys. *** Please close the subject ***

The high cost of MT is the very reason for me to use moneycheats... But at around 30K the city ought to be selfsupporting. Afterall a cheat is a cheat is a cheat!

NEW REQUEST (I hope): Would it be possible to make a mod that enabled a player to "jump" from one city to another without "passing through" the Region map? I especially miss that when I'm playing eg. a large residential city, and then suddenly run out of power. Then it takes forever to exit the city and get to the electric supply city and then back. I guess anything that might reduce the loading time would be great. I realize that the game would still need time to upgrade all regionwise city information, but still... perhaps...? Zugtroll
