Didn't realize there was a sub-fourm for this already. closing topic.

If Ebola is only a problem in the US if it goes airborne, what if it hits this California drought area where there are no showers or sewage?

Huh? My apoligies if I come off as rude or blunt, but how does that have to do with this new enteirovirus?

Simple. We all see how, in Simcity, we need taxes to make money. The government has the same things, but more. Little money is given to the government by industry, accept by taxes. The government also has higher prices to pay then we do in our games.games. Anything provided by the government would be lost. Roads, education, welfare, you name it. We would have no laws and life would be hell. Again, simple

If oregon is one of the 2 states without infection, why is it covering so much of the news?

Agreed. It's actual worse than those if you get it. The last figure estimate i saw for fatality rate for the current outbreak was 70%. With proper health care the fatality rate for ebola drops to around 50%. According to the cdc the rate for most strains of smallpox was 30% and less for polio. Yet, Smallpox was more infectious. The man is (I assume) a US citizen. If that is the case he cannot legally be denied entry to the country for any reason. The best you could do is admit such people into quarantine. But he showed no symptoms (symptoms can take a couple weeks after infection to manifest) so they had no way of quickly determining he was carrying the disease. At any rate, he was not contagious prior to developing symptoms. So the potential exposure to other people before he was quarantined would be minimal. I heard he was a Liberian citizen who traveled to Texas to visit relatives. Even if he has a visa, he should have been grounded. Kids who had contact with ebola patient being monitored.

Not precisely smallpox, but the death toll could rise to that number if the situation is not controlled. As for infectiousness, Ebola isn't a pandemic, but could be. If India or the Middle East were to be hit, millions could die. Most of Europe and North America (Excluding Mexico) is safe, while there could be small-scale outbreaks, especially if the homeless are hit. Yet, as with all viruses like this, we could be a few small mutations away from a global pandemic. Also, just so I am not doubted, I spend a lot of my spare time researching geography and virology.

A lot of data maps are bugged in Orion. If I were you, just wait for Cities-Skylines to come out for much bigger maps (36K!!!)

Agreed. Meanwhile I have a problem with creationism being taught in a grade school. While if a student feels uncomfortable in a class that teaches evolution, he should present it to his instructor, it should be withheld from classes, unless in a specific religion study class or a Sunday school or church. Again, this is only my opinion.

BTW: update the poll please. maybe remove all UNSUPPORTED versions of windows, like the just recently ditched version Windows XP. And add 8.1 instead of 9. Speaking of which, Microsoft is skipping windows 9 and moving to windows 10 next year. Still not allowed to update this one to 8.1 Hope i can the Win10

Hmm, sounds like you could use a computer lounge. I'll take some water, please.

Alright! Both of your intersections are cool! but not very incredibly useful without a bigger map. Anyhow, without bigger maps, the intersection just takes up too much space in my opinion. But it looks really cool and I would personally like to see how they function!

Modders have already released a bunch of mods and more are coming. Maxis is still gathering feedback on update 10 to decide what to do next. Ah. Sweet

Try bulldozing and then waiting for them to respawn. Do you have any mods?

$@%$ (4254) Live long and prosper. NOTE: I love netflix and it's abundance of sci-fi.

I believe that the Chinese government was wrong to use the somewhat violent approach that they used against the protesters, and specifically against Alex Chow, and that repercussions should be administered to China by the U.N. If it weren't for China's important role in global industry and economics.

So, we have all heard simcity 2013 music. I personally dislike it. So, what I did was turn off simcity sound and make my own i-tunes playlist. Anyone else do this? If so, what songs? AidanA28's Simcity Playlist- 16 songs, 1hr 1 minutes Timber Rollin like a Redneck- (recomended for a little older ages, if you are 6 years old, don't jump on this one .) Storm Warning Radioactive Demons Fireflies Embers Viva la Vida This is how we roll Cruise Party Rock Anthem Imperial March Everything is AWESOME Blown away mission impossible theme Alex Rider "You Can't take me"

There's also the limited edition with the Hero's and villain's set.

Any leaks on the next update, or has EA/Maxis abandoned the game and handed over the core files to the modders? Cheers! Though it's buggy, check out Project Orion...
