valhum

really amazing :wow:

Ok, so, i finally got a copy of the game. Got the money cheat which is great haha now i can focus in just zoning, etc but i wanna try the whole Blueprints thingy. I know you must have the tokens thingy, for every phase your blueprint needs but i have some questions. 1, Can i just buy the tokes i need?!?! since i have tons of money hehe 2, once i bought the tokens needed, does the blueprint "absorb" them or what?!?! Once i am passed certain phase does that mean i can cancel the deal?!?!?! or how do you guys do it??? Thanks

Oh using this cheat is AMAZING!!!! I can focus on building a nice looking city instead of going bankrupt

I hate that too. What i do, is if i have a big area, i divided it with small farm roads and then erase them and place the british style plaza, that one looks more like a pathway hehehe.

I feel like i should just reinstall SC4 and play it again, LOL

Damn, this sounds like a big failure and i just last week paid for a month hahahahaha i don't see the point of keep playing my online cities if in a little more than a month they will be gone hehehe

lol

I am new around XL but farewell

Ok, so I am starting to get the hang of this Cities XL game. So far i am liking it, just last night i decided to take a "walk" around my city and oh man, that was what i always dreamed of doing in SC4 hehehe..... but anyway, back to topic. I noticed that placing Industrial zones takes a BIG toll in the Enviroment, so i decided to place them at the edges but then it seems they are TOO far from the people, so it doesn't matter that i have a lot of heavy industry (for example) my Unskilled resident don't seem to find a job but then if i place areas of industry next to residential and commercial zones they get all RED in Enviroment satisfaction. What is to do about that then?!?!? Am i wrong and do the residents eventually find a way to the edges for a job, like making a lot of avenues, expressways, etc. Or is the solution creating small blocks of Industrial here and there, next to residential or commercial areas (as in real life) so i don't make a huge industrial park and my enviroment surrounding those areas is not all RED. Any suggestion

Oh great advice, thanks xD I visited your city, i like your layout

Ok, so it is recommended that i import Heavy Industry but keep Manufacturing and High Tech....ok, got it......oh true, so i have oil fields, if i start getting rid of HI i will be able to sell more Oil, nice... But ok, if i remove HI where will people work!?!?, do i need to place more Offices then and Manufacturing to balance the lack of HI or importing HI gives them jobs too?? Zwr: will go and check your city hehe,......my cities are also in Titan btw

and btw E3 is not a stupid convention in the US, it just happens to be THE convention for video games in the world

So far, the game is fun, you can make pretty cities and all. I think we need to stop thinking SimCity 4and just enjoy this different entry in the City simulation. I swear, i just tried the whole walking around my city and WOW, just because of that, this game is worth it, looking at my skylines, the houses, soooo damn cool

Yeah, i noticed. Wish there was this magical park like in SC4 that would eat up all pollution hahaha

Oh man, thanks a lot, some good ideas there. Btw i was checking the tips and manual section Btw, what are the names of your cities so i can check them out.....mine are San Carlos, San Felipe and Ciudad Victoria (biggest so far) under Valhum

Well, true that hehe

Ok, so if i only have a version that lets me play ONLY in PO, i cannot use this right?!?!

But then again Zwr, maybe the price of $40 to get a game that is very short in Solo mode is not that good of a price. Make it $20 bucks and then join PO for $7 bucks wouldn't be that bad me thinks hehe

In a way, i understand the cries, paying $10 bucks a month so you can just use Buses is kinda expensive. Besides that and the fact that you can trade, what else is offered for the fee ?!?!

So far i decided to pay for a couple of months of PO, kinda liking the game i even upgraded my video card to enjoy it more.....oh and yeah, loves me some SC4, been a fan of the series since 1994, hope they do SC5

Oh ok, i get it now....... damn =/

Well, i just got into this game this week and I must say that I was scared by all the "complains", talks, etc that are in this forum about the game. After a few days of playing i am really liking the game, it is fun to see it grow and the whole PO thingy is not that bad, true it doesn't have anything interesting besides trading and maybe the whole bus thing but that is the reason i got just the online version of the game..........but now that i think about it, i don't wanna spend $120 dls a year to play a game, DAMN!! that is a lot LOL, i guess i will try it for 4 months, to get my $40 bucks as if it was a normal solo version and i will check if i should get the Solo version but damn again, i would've spent $80 instead of $40 LOL..... i am starting to get confused LOL Ok, so seriously, the Solo version is THAT bad?!?!? I mean, what is missing besides trading and Buses ?!?!?!?!?!?
