  1. SimCity 3000 OFFICIAL THREAD

    Has anyone here ever made a custom scenario? I played SC3000 when I was a lot younger on my Windows 98 and I remember the custom scenario working, I just didn't know what I was doing. On newer computers, however, it just opens up excel without really doing anything. Has anyone here actually made a custom scenario though? On a new computer or old one. How was it if you did?
  2. So I upgraded to Windows 10 a few weeks ago and so far I love it. It's much bettet than Windows 8.1. I just tried to run SimCity 4, however, and it failed massively. First it said I had to run as an administrator so I did that and the next time I ran it nothing happened. It failed within a second. I tried compatibility settings but got nowhere. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Downgrading back to Windows 8.1 isn't an option, I want to keep Windows 10. Thank you in advance! Also, I didn't see there was already a thread for this, so my bad.
  3. Teraan: A Tale of Ice and Steel

    The Defense of Sovereignty: Chapter 11 Author's Suggestion: Listen to This It was a cold day, at times reaching sub-zero temperatures, with multiple cases of frostbite. The people of Estna were glad for the day to be over as they could now sleep with their warm fireplaces heating their houses. As the city went to sleep, the After-Dark Defense began their work, mustering the man-power and weapons each night from their best-trained soldiers. Materials and information from Queensferry proved indispensable. The jeeps and floodlights provided much needed technology to the searching for convicts and surveying of the coastline. Each night was fraught with terror and nerve-wracking silence. Any day Pulpini marines could be landing on the coasts of Estna, prepared to take down the nation's capital, and with it the whole country. The Estna soldiers always shouldered full-powered assault rifles freshly imported from Queensferry. Scouts sported white camoflauge, allowing them to hide in the snow and wait and watch. Their night vision goggles proving priceless. The time was tough, everyone was on full alert. No one batted an eye as they searched every nook and cranny. This night was like every night, except it was colder. A slight mumble was heard in the distance. All attention was turned skyward as a fighter-jet rocketed over the island. The city was put under lockdown. Air raid sirens blared and everyone took cover. Those awakened made way for community bomb shelters built with government funds. Screaming came over the radios with multiple commanders yelling, "the beaches the beaches!" Gun fire and artillery filled the air and echoed through the streets as teams of soldiers raced to the battle scene. It occurred in the desolate reaches of the island. The Teraanian troops expected a small force, and the Pulpini soldiers expected nothing. There stood over one thousand on each end. This was no longer a spec ops mission, it was a full-fledged invasion. Helicopters moved in after a report of no enemy air activity came in. As soon as they were within range, Queensferry turrets and SAM sites shot out of strategic locations and laid waste to the choppers. Five in one minute were downed, more were forced to retreat. The SAM batteries then targeted strike fighters moving about the air. They moved too quickly though and too evasively. The few fighters Teraan had were going to need to be used to take down the aces. Meanwhile, as the pilots readied for a dog fight, the enemy fighters dropped heavy ordinances on Teraanian troops, causing heavy casualties. The jets launched rockets and dropped small bombs. One was finally downed by the SAM sites, but three more still remained. The Teraanian pilots now took to the skies. The fight was epic beyond belief. Jets flying over houses, sonic booms blowing out windows on houses. Although the Teraan air force outnumbered the attackers 2:1, they were outmatched. The Pulpini pilots flew with a precision never before seen. They performed perfect scissor maneuver, destroying two of the protecting jets. While the air battle was going on in favor of Pulpini troops, the ground battle was much different. Artillery bombardment had dislodged them from their position and also destroyed their landing ships. There was no way back for the assailants. The Teraan soldiers let loose a hellfire of bullets and anger into their enemies. Snipers located on the hills picked off officers, leaving few in command. As the ground fight wore on, the air fight drew to a close. In a failure of communication and possible electronic failure, one of the two jets went smashing into the ground, leaving an enormous crater. The four Teraan jets left now turned their attention to the last remaining ace pilot. Although he maneuvered like a pro, he couldn't out maneuver all of them. Finally, the last jet was downed, and now the Teraan ground troops had air support. The .50 caliber machine guns ripped into the enemy troops, along with the launching of simple straight-line missiles. The jets were called off as the number dwindled down to below one hundred. As the Teraan soldiers closed in, the number dipped to below a dozen, and finally they surrendered. They were each lined up with blindfolds, and with the drop of the commander's arm, they were erased. With the short battle ended, the first victory for Teraan had been found. It was found out that Pulpini had declared war against Queensferry in anger of their helping and arming Teraan. During the battle over two thousand lives were lost, about half being those of Teraan. The day became a day of mourning, but also celebration. A day to celebrate sovereignty. The battle would be beautifully remastered in the book "The Day the Snow Turned Red". Teraan had only upwards to go from here.

    Just to be clear, this will be more functional as a story than story-driven. It won't have long, drawn out plots like my other story.
  5. Love the gigs! Beautiful snow. Did you add that on or is that in the game?

    I'm so disgruntled by how great that looks. You say you didn't focus on design yet it looks so good. I need to seriously study these CJs and figure out how to make good looking cities.
