And this....
I haven't experienced any server/ connections issues, and I'm really enjoying the game after 7 hrs of play.
Late for work this morning......go figure
A few things I've noticed are:
1. Traffic - yes we have traffic issues like many have already mentioned, and you're forced to bring mass transit into the game sooner rather than later.
2. The water table - I find myself in the same situation as Halicem where I have cities running dry. My new city is next to a river in hopes of not running out, but time will tell if I can continue supplying the region.
3. Difficulty has definitely been increased since the beta's. Every time I feel I've got control, something new happens (be it water, power, traffic, garbage, crime, drastic population increases, etc). I'm always feeling challenged at the moment and I think that's why I'm really enjoying the game.
Just my opinion
