Here are 3 pictures that I found in the German forums CitiesXS, showing some locked bus terminals: According to the person that unlocked them, the first one (1st and 2nd picture) is 7 lines bus terminus, and the second one (3rd picture) is a bus stop.

Yes Cities XL is worth buying. The graphics are stunning, you can see your city from every perspective, the traffic system is great, you can control exactly what wealth of citizens to grow in the chosen area. These things are missing in SC4, which despite is a great game, it has outdated graphics. Of course graphic is not the most important thing about a game, but my overall opinion for CXL is very very good. There will be a new version of the game soon with new content and a believe a mass transit, so i think the game worths the price of 40$

OK, then do you have the appropriate number of different types of workers for the offices? Or maybe it's a kind of bug if everything is fine in the status.

Also the offices requires business hotels to work - do you have enough hotels?

I have a collection of pictures with different stadiums, from the German forum too. I can post them tomorrow, because they are on my office laptop.

Originally posted by: soltangris All the rest is just speculation, I won't get tired to stress this! Are we gonna get more transport? Probably, but not for sure. Are we gonna get the content formerly known as GEMs (Ski GEM, Beach GEM)? Probably, but not for sure. I'm saying it's probably, because many people have discovered locked files in the game containing this content, meaning that it was already under development, and probably in a fairly advanced stage. So, if it's just not finished, the work needed to actually deliver it will be far less than developing new content from scratch. Besides, a good guess is that they're whitholding it not only to be able to polish it, but also to add it as more content sold separately, after CXL 2011 is ready. But again, this is only speculation! See above for what's been explicitly promised by MC. quote> I assume that this content is ready (maybe not in final stage but almost ready). They keep it in the game with purpose to unlock it when they release it as paid content (that regards ex-PO mode). This is made by them this way because of keeping the patch files smaller so you will not need to download the train models for example, only the small patch that unlocks them. But if this content wasn't ready, why did they included it in the game?

Yes I also think that the new game will be based on the existing with a few improvements. Yet they a have a nice base on which to work - they have an almost complete game. The things that the new game needs are: - improved micromanagement - mass transit (trains, subway ...) - megastructures - it will be nice if new paid content is released for example on monthly basis. The players will have the ability to choose which content pack to buy and which not. - a few bug fixing, a game is relatively stable for now (there were many problems with crashing, but I didn't experience some lately)

I have a question, I'm just curious - when a city is transferred to solo mode, does the megastructures and medieval buildings and such things that aren't available in solo mode remains in the city?

Originally posted by: yamsi3467 I have heard they were in the Beta but disappeared from the retail release. Can we get these in a patch or do we have to wait for Cities XL 2011? Yamsiquote> I have never heard such sounds in the beta. Where do you have this information from?

"Soon" doesn't mean what it means when said by MC I also was subscribed for PO but only for one month and I don't know how MC will decide who gets these packs for free and who has to pay for them.

I'm waiting for these content packs too - especially the European and American pack. Also hope that the price will be reasonable for what the pack offers. I don't know but how much are you ready to pay for a content pack?

Great, can't wait to see the bus routes. 

OK, thanks for the reply.

Great news, Asheroo. Keep up the good work, this is the best city I've seen in CitiesXL

Hi Gregory, A simple question - after 8th of March with the end of planet offer, content pack with medieval buildings, blueprints, maps for PO and so on will be not be available for nobody. Don't you plan to release them in a content pack?

I think next content pack will include the thing that were already released - medieval buildings and blueprints. What makes me think that - after the end of the PO on 8th of March these things will not be available for nobody. MC will probably release them as paid content pack (maybe free for PO subscribers - who knows)

The site is online now. Enjoy

Just be a little patient, the website must be online very soon.

They are preparing a new site that will be online on 25 Thursday. Also buses for solo mode will be released. Refer to the topic: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=370&threadid=113678&enterthread=y

Hope the new site will reveal more info about Cities 2011 and the future content packs.

I have problems with deleting the cities - when I delete one, it still remains on the map as a green dot. I post two support ticket with no reply at all. So I just wrote a small script which delete files for the cities in the profile directory.

Those are really great news!! I can't wait to see more pictures.

Originally posted by: soltangris It's very likely they'll appear shortly after CXL 2011, as a content pack. Well, we don't know if they're properly developed yet - it's one thing to make the building models and quite another to make it work well in the game. Still, it looks really good, especially these energy buildings. I'm excited! P.S.(wanna bet that someone will say we'll never see these buildings in the game?)quote> Well for sure we don't know if they are properly developed but I have a point here. For example - MC have already developed the bus system in it works more then fine. That means that they already have the algorithm for it - they just need to rework it for the trains (under algorithm i mean the way that people choose to catch the bus or not). So they have the algorithm, they have the graphic textures of the rail lines and stops - what else they need? Maybe money if released as paid content pack

You can select the jobs and vacant jobs overlay right on your screen (in the economy submenu) and buildings with unemployed citizens will be highlighted. Hope this helps
