For me it would have been the following 1 Zones for Parks, Army Bases, Airports; due to the fact that they can be less than 1 sq block to bigger than 100 sq miles (for parks and army bases) 2 Modern and Old buildings for all rewards; outside of small times City hall, Court etc or whatever they may be called in a particular country are usually large modern buildings. 3 Subway Stations built into many of the rewards; many large buildings such as Stadiums, Convention Centers, Arenas, Court, City Government, Zoos, and other places of interest have their own dedicated transit stations. 4 Transit station served by all transit options in Sim City (monorail, rail, subway, bus, aboveground rail) 5 Taxes for special purposes like building transit, stadium, airport etc Edited 6 Design from different cities around the globe, Have architecture from Asia, Africa, Mideast and Oceania included as there seems to be almost none within the game. 7 Different landscapes (Desert, Snow)

Some cities in real life don't even start out like that. Some are built as planned such as Washington, DC, Paris (by Napoleon III), Masdar City, Brasilla, many new cities in China

I understand that but I would rather have them built in. There are cities all over the globe that have huge parks and army bases that take up between 20 and 60 % of the land within those cities. Some places are built as bases and cities develop around the large bases and some cities have kept amounts of space within them as natural as they could be to provide recreation space. What was the inspiration from SC4 US cities; as they lack in everyway to appear as anything other than a typical US city; even when it comes to transit and vehicle types.

I usually do 0% residental and 12 % business or the other way around then as times goes by I raise them to equal amounts usually around 12-15%. Then raise it .5 or 1 % to pay for things like subways or bus service Question for all of your with low taxes how do you pay for services like bus, rail, airports, highways, subways, education, hospitals, police, fire etc.

It is going to be the typical DVD and Digital Download release ? I would hope that EA would try to stop using DVD or any optical media by now for any game when there are better things such as flash memory (sd card, usb drive, compact flash etc)

Does anyone know why the Real Highway is not proportional to everything else in the game. Why are they smaller than avenues which have less lanes. I would use them but to me they dont look realistic with a city that has streets, roads and avenues in it.

What i would like to see is truly realistic transit systems by the developers taking cues from places such as London, New York, Chicago, Wasington DC, Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, Berlin etc. There should be buses, subways and intercity rail and you should have the ability to design or not design routes. All trains need the ability to have the options of grund level, aboveground level or below ground level. The next thing that needs to be solved are stations; there needs to be terminals for each type of track. There should be a multitude of station types as all subways dont have stations on the sidewalks; this can be seen by going to subway stations in Anything beyond those is not truly needed. Streetcars/Trams can be an option but they are not as universal as the others mentioned before. For things such as highways the whole needs to be redone. Highways and Avenues are not the same size so they should be like in SC4. There should be options to have underground entrances/exits to highways like in reality. As with trains there should be the option of ground level, below ground and above ground systems.
