  1. To be honest I am hooked on the new SimCity, I'm really enjoying it apart from being able to fill a tile quicker than drinking a pint and the obvious bugs etc... but it got me thinking, there are so many things I miss and was wondering what other people are missing and wish would come back? Ordinances Subway Private Schools Military Buildings Mayor Statues Bonus buildings like Zoo's, Theme Parks, Beaches & Marinas This is probably where people tell me I'm playing the game all wrong and all this is all still in there haha!

  2. Great works not starting

    TommyWebster replied to Freeze01's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Weird one! I built an Arcology only signed into one city and using one cities resources even though I had 2 other city's built connected to the great works site. Sounds like a bug... I had another region where there is a whole city I cannot access because its stuck!

  3. Patch 2.0 notes leaked?

    TommyWebster replied to stormgear's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Still no mention of the garbage situation!! Have a tiny population with 8 garbage trucks and they still don't pick everything up! makes no sense

  4. SimCity Store ?

    TommyWebster replied to RedMist's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    I don't want to have to buy DLC but its inevitable and I can see myself spending as long as its a significant improvement

  5. Strategy Video #3 where are you?

    TommyWebster replied to SirChick's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    agreed its been far to long!

  6. Just Played Beta

    TommyWebster replied to a topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    I've just finished playing my first hour and loved it, I have a feeling that the depth of the game is going to far outway any negatives such as small tiles and im for one really eager to get my hands on the full version and build a london theme set!! The server downtime today has worried me a bit but im hoping that is a big lesson learned! (I havent said anything here that isnt already in the public domain so fingers crossed I wont get a letter through the door! haha)

  7. Windows 8 and SimCity?

    TommyWebster replied to hf123's topic in SimCity (2013) Technical Help Q&A

    I have just found this is an EA forum... http://answers.ea.com/t5/Answer-HQ-Help/Will-the-new-SimCity-work-with-Windows-8/m-p/382178 An EA admisitor confirming SimCity will run on 8.. if it doesnt im sending an invoice directly to 'eakennedy' for my new laptop

  8. New SimCity in game videos

    TommyWebster replied to guitarmatt99's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Every video I watch just gets me more and more excited for the game! I've just order a new computer just to cope with it haha! I have a feeling that Maxis with EA's influence are looking commercially down the line so I'm expecting to see a fair few expansion packs (as with The Sims series) and these will undoubtedly have our bigger tiles, subways etc

  9. New Strategy Video

    TommyWebster replied to guitarmatt99's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    This isn't the region view, it's the lobby. Seriously, watch the strategy video they released recently, that shows the proper region view and thankfully it is much more what we're used to. Secondly, thats the max region size, 16x medium or equivalent to 4x large SC4 size cities - that is pretty damn small. If this isn't a version of the region view then why was this the caption on the Facebook pages picture?... "Cities don't live in a bubble. Proof? This new region shot supports up to 16 cities that you can claim privately, with your friends, or with anyone around the world."

  10. New Strategy Video

    TommyWebster replied to guitarmatt99's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Cheers @guitarmatt99 , I was just coming online to take back my mention of small regions, they released this image yesterday on their Facebook page...
  11. I cant see there being any reason I cant have 1 region to work on myself and collaborate on another... count me in! Be interesting to get a strong group together who have RL experience in the 'specialisation' fields i.e if anyone woks/understands tourism (Casino), works in education (University) etc etc! FYI I'm a Financial Adviser and I'm excited to get involved with the world markets and want to get my hands on mining raw materials to trade or build a trade city like Hong Kong/Singapore so if anyone needs me let me know.

  12. New Strategy Video

    TommyWebster replied to guitarmatt99's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    It looks like it is very quick and pain free to cross between cities in the region and the city sizes look about right in my opinion. But I was hoping for more cities in the region, it looks like you only have 4 cities + 1 Great Work per region to work with. There seems to be lots of mods on the 'plopables' well a lot more than I expected which I'm really excited to play with. But I think a big one which will calm down a lot of people ranting about the multi play is they have really shown that we have control over our regions in the way we choose who to play with or keep it all to ourselves. Hoping they show us the university research capability's and the mining of raw metals soon!!!!!

  13. SimCity: Wishlists

    TommyWebster replied to VeritaScientia's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    I have just read an article on the SimCity Insiders Blog 'Playing with Power: Wind Farms' that hints at my previous post which has got me very intrigued and a bit excited!... "But you can overcome this by researching battery technology at the University." and "from University research will be needed to replace them and keep your city green as it grows." Looking forward to finding out more!! @YNN I love the regional problems idea, would be really interesting to see all the cities in a region working together to resolve a disaster and provide aid!

  14. Discussion about City Tile Size

    TommyWebster replied to alex macnamara's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Thanks @Exe19 that puts things into perspective nicely!

  15. Discussion about City Tile Size

    TommyWebster replied to alex macnamara's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Does anyone know how many cities they plan to put on average per region? I wouldnt mind a 2k by 2k so much if we are able to move freely between cities in the region with out having to exit and re-load (obviously freezing time in cities you are not working on), from the screenshots and videos it looks like there is a pre-built highway system across the region which links up all the city plots.
