I'm reminded of Liberty City in GTA4 haha

Good question. Bump!

There is a 'report avatar to EA' option thingy you can click in the region view off the main menu.

I do not understand how one could manage one city long enough to deplete it's mining resources. Of course it depends on how one prospects their claim over a mineral rich plot over a sparsely dotted one...but I guess I could stick with my current electronic boom town until all my ore and coal are gone. Casinos seem lucrative post patch...

I do. It's interesting how familiar one can get with the big picture, then get completely lost once zoomed in.

According to http://www.simcity.com/en_US/blog/article/building-simcity-wealth, - Balance Designer Ross Treyz Is it implied that one-third of residents should work in either commercial, one third in industrial, and one-third in civil services?

I'm sure I enjoy the game more because I am aware I couldn't simply revert to an older saved state, sorta like a rouguelike playthrough. But I'm sure it's frustrating for some to not be able to go back and avoid a simple error in time. How about you?

Tourism is a 'B' to figure out. I sorta had it going with low end casinos pre-patch. But my general strategy is to make as much as possible, so I bee line to electronics. I can secure a steady income of a couple million a day with an average of 120k sims, pre patch...and post. I make mistakes with every play through so it's not fair to entirely blame the patch....

11% down and across. I try to rush an electronics industry into development, then eliminate taxes across the board as I reap the profits.

University buildings are allowed to be built along footpaths, including Dormitories and Lecture Halls.

This is the tourist attraction the Mid East needs. Really, I would pay to drive up and around that structure. Nice job!

Yeshhh1!!!!!! Finally, I am looking forward to Mayoring post patch up....

If you manage to establish an electronics industry, the revenue generated from finished e-products should more than offset the cost of running a city...you can literally turn off all taxes and still make a profit. As far as I've noticed, approval ratings rocket and the civilian's issues with the economy diminishes.

I import the same commodities myself, but retain your exported products for local use on Great Works instead. For my second city in the region, I've decided to build up a gambling empire on the side once my resources run their course. But I too am interested in importing all that is needed to build a computer/TV. For now however, I only import ore and plastic (recycling reclaims only so much) in my first city of the current region of topic. The 3 million daily profits from exports allow me to turn off all taxes for a daily expenditure of over 50K simoleons.

Assuming you're the only Mayor in the region, how many real life hours does it take you to build a Great Work? I ask because I wonder if I have the patience to build one myself....thank you!
