ac94, I have one question: Is it (Andrewtropolis Tower) ploppable or growable. I can't belive it is growable. Maybe I' m wrong?

Do You remember Sim City 3000? There were lots of funny news in news frame. It was making cities more sentimental for me. I know that in sc4 there are some news like these in sc 3000, but they're boring. I know that some people hates these news but I quiet like it.

In Managing Your city, very important are taxes. If You want CO $$$, reduce taxes for them. It will make bigger desirability for them. when there will be not enough vertical place in city, You can start then with medium, and later high density zones

I usually build my cities basing on some soviet solutions and my ideas. Few simetrical zones alongside one long mainway. There are builded in this order: Living-Commercial-Industrial-Commercial- Living. On way between Living and work zones I places toll-gates. When small streets in living zone are overcrowded, I makes belt-ways rounding these zones.

There are lots of city conceptions. propably every city on this world had different main urbanists with different vision. Ex: soviets were experimenting with long line cities, Paris has big avenues (Napoleon wanted city in wich easy would be pacification of revolutionists), american cities have streets wich are crossed with 90 degrees to make communication easy. Do You have your own solutions? Show it!

In My opinion, rich ($$$) Sims likes living near Government buildings

Poland Would be much more rich, But since 1793 it was under occupation of Russia, Prussia and Austria. Poland was reborn in 1918. It was ruled by autocratic (in good meaning) general, Joseph Pilsudski. In 1920 Poland was attacked by Soviet Union, wich had much more bigger army. Red Army arrived to Warsaw and there was no hope for freedom for all Europe (Lenin & his guys wanted to "Spread communism for all world") But then happened "Miracle on Vistula. Mighty troops of very young polish army destroyed lots of Red troops. After few weeks (months?) Red Army was back in USSR and world was saved. In 1920's Poland was fast developing country. There was builded port in Gdynia and polish universities were factories producing geniuses. After building of country basics, Pilsudski resigned from his authorities, but after unlucky tryings of democracy, He returned with his loyal armies. He put much of ultranational opposition behind the bars. After that all he ruled for a little tima and again resigned from authorities. Now Poland was 100% democratic country. In 1939 IIWW was started ( i won't tell this part of polish history, because it is too big) but I can tell that in 1941 NKWD (Soviet gestapo) murdered about 20 000 polish most elite officers In 1945, Poland was taken by Stalin. lots of polish elites was killed by SB & UB. About 40 yrs of stalinism and communism, destroyed polish economy, society, and elites. Urbanistics and city planning too

I don't know how to achieve big farms. Always I Have small hut on the field of something. It have 2-4 job places. Could You tell me how to achieve farms with bigger number of job places?

Maybe it is not good idea: You know that in NY is Central park. I heard, that under it there are tunnels with streets, and you don't need to drive around CP, but you can drive under it. If it would be in Sim City, It would be great. Sorry if my propositions aren't realistic.

I have one more idea, it' s only suggestion. That can be viaduct of more important street above the less important street, that will reduce the traffic jams

If you want to make some communist cities remember these six holy laws: 1. Don't make big space between areas of living and farms 2. Don' worry about comfort of communication 3. Don't allow to live to evil imperialistic capitalist (make big taxes for $$$ and smallll taxes for our dear working class of cities and villages ($)) 4. Make a lot of work places in factories ( dirty technology) 5. Don' t allow to the imperialistic companies of the depraved west live in your city ( really big taxes for $$$ offices etc.) 6. Make your city prepared to defend the beatiful communism (rockets, military bases etc.)

I have some ideas: 1. Mod wich make the weather changes ( rains in autumn, snow in winter etc.) 2. Mod with pack of catastrophes (epidemy, terrorist attack, gas explosion, tsunami)
