Also, imagine if your city was largely industry, and the neighboring city housed many of the factories' workers. What would happen if all of those workers were no longer there? As a fix, I'm a little worried that the multiplayer aspect of the game will include trading, pollution spill-over, and emergency assistance, but will not include something as simple as inter-city commuting.

^That first issue is what I've been worrying about, as well. I think multiplayer could be really cool, but I think any of the possible solutions to that problem really take away from the coolness of it all.

Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a Mac, and I'm wondering: what limitations do Mac users have on them when it comes to Simcity, ST downloads, etc? Thanks!

CN is awesome once you gain an understanding as to how things work--especially when you get involved within an alliance. ^Mutually Assured Defense is a great alliance, btw.

As I try to make my cities more realistic, I'm finding it really frustrating how much land commercial development takes up. It just looks unrealistic. I tried using toraco's commercial 3X jobs mod, but it didn't work for whatever reason. Any ideas?

Sorry, I should've posted this is city-building concepts. So you should. Moving. NOB

Oh, and I'm playing with Deluxe.

^Well, I don't think that's it, because a lot of people work in these cities. And when I check the main city's traffic flows, it shows buses going into the other cities.

^ huh?

Well--I tried that, and it didn't work. What's really weird is that when I query the bus stops, it shows car commuters traveling to it from the other city.

Thanks, giorgos! I'll check that out.

I'm having a problem I haven't encountered before. I have one city with a population of around 20,000--but the majority of the commercial jobs are distributed elsewhere in the region. The roads work fine, but I wanted to start using bus stops for travel between the two cities. So I put a few bus stops in one of the surrounding commercial job cities. When I go back to my main city, and query the road to see who's all traveling on it, I see that there are quite a few buses crossing the city limits. Yet when I go to the other city, the bus stops report absolutely no usage. The oddest part is that, once in a while, the stop will report usage--but then it goes back to 0% less than a second later. The same thing happens with trains. Any ideas?

One of my old downtowns: Looks pretty realistic, huh?
