  1. Well where did you get an Idea from? Using a very simple logic, it is possible to assume it won't be origin exclusive If you try and preorder SC 2013 on origin, you will see you that next to limited deluxe, there's an icon that shows "origin exclusive". With that in mind, you could assume only the limited deluxe will be exclusive to origin and not Limited edition or standard edition.
  2. Leaked pre-visualization SimCity 5 trailer

    I know it's still rumored... but now people have some info to hold on when they talk about a next simcity. Up until februar 2012, the only info we had was "maybe they are developing a lame facebok simcity"
  3. How on earth do I build a city...

    Yeah with NAM and experience, making surplus is pretty damn easy. And I'm speaking with 5000 thousand simoleans every round used for city beautification. It's kind of ironic. The more I play for fun, easier it is. The more I plop parks, make trees and nice transportation, the more I see I succeeded. Don't entirely believe what others here say! THE CRUCIAL STAGE IS YOUR EARLY STAGE! When you get around 5-10 thousand people you have to have a massive 3-4 thousand surplus, to support SANITATION department AND university (or college in which case it's easier). You ofcourse need a high school, elementary school, full police coverage and health maintenance. Beware of redundant workers though! You don't need 100 doctors for 200 patients really! Keep all expenses at minimum, and you should be fine.
  4. Mountain PASS

    yeah thanks for advice. As you all see I don't have a huge room for manuvering the shoulders and widening the curves, And yeah, I was definately still going to do the finnishiing touches,... ... Right now I'm more concerned if that kind of road would even be practical in real world. Consider the large fall just further below the tunnel. Wouldn't it be a 24/7 threat for avalanches and construction problems??? Also are there any cool props and texture packs that are useful for "decorating" that road?
  5. I have been playing simcity 4 deluxe since 2006 when I bought it. Not terribly a lot but enough to say I pretty much know anything going on lately. But the problem has shown up quite still recently. And I've done nothing that I am aware of that would alter my simcity4 game behavior NOR have I ever seen that kind of problem arise on simtropolis bug reports EVER EVER. I have like the latest NAM and region terraformer stuff with loads of plugins packed alond with a fresh windows 7 install. I start the game. Region opens normally. I click a tile and load it... and here the problems start. first of all. No matter what tile I chose (be it water or whatever) it always loads the same kind of hilly tile that has nothing to do with the one I loaded. Additionally, I can't build anything because it says the problem is slopes and it does so even if I build it on completely flat surface. I kind of manage to build a few batches or roads but they all look like bridges somehow (all on flat surface) So please help me out. Should I reinstall my game? IS it corrupt?
  6. Yeah cheers guys it worked. Next time, I should read the whole plugin description. And not like, huh, why would I remove it when I am finnished building bridges if I don't have to,SILLY!
  7. Does the terrain look the same but at a higher elevation? Have you ever installed the Diagonal Bridge Enabler? If so, it may be in the Plugins folder and needs to be removed for normal game play. WOW CaptCity, I stand corrected. I have in fact downloaded diagonal bridge enabler. I totaly forgot, now I remember. So what you are saying is I remove DBE from plugins and I'm basically ready to go? (good grief, It almost turned out a good thing I didn't rush into reinstalling my game )
  8. yeah interesting thing is, that from the last time simcity4 worked just fine up to now, that it's not, I haven't made any changes on my game at all. I will reinstall, but it's kind of a thing I'm to lazy to do right now
  9. and even if you couldn't run it on windows 7 (which you can and I do it TOO!), no support for XP means just no more updates or technicall support which theoretically means you can still have XP and simcity4 on it without any problems. And windows 7 on a dual boot for work and internet browsing just to be safe.
  10. if there will be a faceboook simcity don't get excited just yet, because It would most likely look something like age of empires on facebook -> not that impressive. So our only hope is that the one being interviewed actually meant that they are cooking a real game back in the office. Let's stay optimistic
  11. My favorite building is Wren Insurance by Maxis vanilla
  12. CitiesXL 2012 details

    Wow that is what I call: lack of variety Thank good for modding tools
  13. I like the environmentalist one, because I don't think I ever saw ONE of her pop-ups, though in reality those are probably the biggest narrowminded assholes you could find on a planet. I don't like the finance one. If I generate huge cash-flow, why bother me with; "lower the healthcare budget or other" if I don't have to!
  14. the problem is you are quite a lonely guy being the one able to afford quad core and a neat graphics card. Usually, people still use some ancient hardware like athlons, or entry level dual cores. And that is the biggest market and that is what EA puts it's money on. So if this game came out today, it probably would work on multi threading but nothing spectacular. I mean, look at Cities XL, the game came out in 2009, when lots of people had dual core and it doesn't even use both of them. So I wouldn't put too much hope in SC5 to be a marvel like sc4 was when it was released.
  15. You know what this game really needs badly? A respectable sequel.
