This looks extremely good if they can do it correctly, I'm really looking forward to it! Any hint of a release date?

It was time to start specialising, I knew my map was full of oil so a plopped down my first oil well! It was autumn so I plante forests to create a lovely looking scene, garbage was now taken care of and sewage was just starting to become a problem! Most of my RCI was now medium density and climbing rapidly! Most of it was low wealth and I wanted to increase this, what better than some simple fountain parks! I was earning a steady flow of cash from my oil, and it was time to start upgrading. I introduced another oil well and earned enough money to place a Petroleum HQ. I now had a coal power plant up and running to sustain my city and hopefully others in the region. I want to research the clean coal generator to stop pollution drifting across to neighbouring cities.

  Thanks! I was wondering how other people did that, thanks for the advice!

It started small. I was looking to create golden fields of oil to create the base for my region. This would be the city I would fall back on. I started with a few lonely houses and industry to gain profit. I created a small wind farm to keep my city running; I was planning on having a coal power plant which would supply other cities with power. It was a good first day and I was making profit! I decided to call this city Halstetd, it's German. I came up with a list of about 50 city names while they were still developing this game and this one caught my eye as it was unique. I have big plans for this city, big plans. I started expanding my road network to get ready for the future upgrades. All my oil was to the North of the city near the water so I was planning on having all my lucky residents in the South, the wind was blowing East which is great! I was hoping to get some high tech industry to lower down on pollution. I started gaining some medium density building and everybody was happy!

Hello all! I have just started a new region with a friend, United Nations. I will post updates to keep everyone informed on this great region! City - Halstedt It started small with a few lonely houses and a couple of shops, I was looking to go into the oil business.

I played the game for 1 hour and it said 9 hours when i came off it so the Origin system is broken! (much like the game)

EA said they were making this game for your dads old computer aswell. This is the reason for the small city size but doing this, they completely discounted all the hardcore fans that want the city size to be the size of the region. Why didnt they make different maps for this? Oh yeah, Its EA. DLC all the way, get all the money you can out of them, thats what they will do, wait until everybody is so angry about the city size so they can charge more, because people have waited so long they will just buy it. Imagine if Maxis developed AND distributed it themselves. Hm...

Bigger tiles will come. I've heard bigger tiles are included in the code which suggests it will be in DLC *sigh*. I guess it will be worth it though, I guess they are just seeing what people's computers can take before it's introduced. I'm guessing it's going to be an expansion with a few more regions that include the bigger tiles.

What region is this? Looks great so far, post some more when you go medium density!

They should of kept the region from SimCity 4, the region should just be a flat 2D representation of all your cities from ONE angle. All the trading a sharing of recourses could still be shown in the same way! When you want to create a city have it the same as SimCity 4 (Just that city on a block!). If this was the case the city size would not have mattered. They should have listened. edit: This is my only problem with the game, I am still going to get it, I don't hate this game in any way, its just let down by presentation!

I cant see there being a "reset city" button but I can probably see there being a "delete region" button as we can only save 10 regions. What would we do once filling them all? Edit: Just found out that they have multiple servers such as North America, Europe etc and you can have 10 regions on each server so at the maximum on each server you can create 160 cities so if you ruin a region theres plenty of other regions to develop.

Found some pics of regions!

I've read on Dan's twitter that they are doing different shades of green/blue to show what density can grow in that zone.

I tweeted Ocean about this a few days a go and he said many people didnt like it, including me, and he said they would probably change it and i'm so glad they are. edit: just watched that video and I still prefer how it was in the old gameplay video! this? or that? In my opinion it just looks more interesting.
