Long roads and using curved/free draw you will be losing lot of surface area which would be unusable so you wont be able to attain high populations

Double post!

I have been working on a city where I have avoided making an intersections and pairing a long stretch High density road with medium density side roads....I got to 170k and I rarely had a gridlock except for on the entrance into the city where the traffic was backed up long into the highway.... This is from when my city was 135k

This is my first city, I goofed up a lot!!! Went for education specialization and then midway through it all i changed to electronics specialization. I have so much of high value land, I dont have low/mid residences now. Having problems trying to balance it. But here is the skyline.

This is my cash flow after about 2hrs or less since i started the city. I will let it accumulate to 2-3mil before i start remodelling the entire city piece by piece. All of the roads except for the one connecting from the highway are low density dirt roads. At one point of time I was earning 22k-25k an hr at tax rates of 11-12% The flow has gone down as I had to add expensive services and mass transits and started specialisation and remodellling a bit.

I dont have the game yet but from what I have read and seen across streams, my guess would be you would have to just keep playing the city and the money will get delivered eventually. The money actually travels in an armored truck from one city to another so depending on the traffic and distance between two cities. The time it takes for the money to reach will vary.

I disagree. This is exactly the kind of thing I like figuring out and should NOT be documented in the help docs. Half the fun of playing new games is figuring out all the tricks and features and how to use them. I am with you on this one. If everything was just documented than all we would be doing is running the manual and where would our creativity come into being? I like having to figuring things out. I have yet to get my game but hopefully over the weekend I should be playing it and I already have a quiet a idea of the advanced game mechanics just from watching couple of letsallbemayor and other streams. It really is not that difficult to figure things out.

EU is 8th and Aus/Japan is on 7th march. Only North America has 5th march release date.

I will go with sort of Style and Efficiency combo. Making the downtown grid placement with main avenues running through the city from end to end and more stylish as I move away from city center and towards sort of suburbs.

The same case with my two cities both IGN and wiki have conflicting reports on available resources.

The only solution I can think of I disconnecting the transport links to the said player's city if that is possible I hope. But I guess we will have to wait to see what can be possible. Oh and it seems I wont have the game till the weekend. Since they releasing it late in Asia. I just ran through a City name generator and couple of names that came up that i sort of liked were... Appleton Glenstead Owensburgh Need to find better generator!

The reviews more than anything justify my decision to go for this game despite me being against the ALWAYS ONLINE DRMs. For once the always online drm adds functionality. Though I am a bit skeptical about the capacity of the servers to handle the load, so it could go either all kaput or it would be a breeze. But in any case I see can see Maxis/EA responding to the problem and upgrading the servers should it go kaput.

I think I have added most of you guys here but incase I missed anyone of you feel free to add me. My id is prankemperor

I am not a fan of always Online requirement games but this game is built around the idea of playing with others across the SIMCITY community in regions and affecting the world economy. So for the first time in my gaming history despite my obvious concerns of always online DRMs I have this game pre-ordered and cant wait to get my hands on.
