Climate is always changing and the temperature has been alot higher in the medieval ages than it is now. When has there not been an Economic Crisis? All economies have gone through a boom and bust cycle, read "This Time It's Different" its about the economic crisis's that have taken place in the history. When has there not been a new Flu? Swine Flu is a scam. Flu is a constantly changing virus and it has pretty much always been around, What about Small Pox...it was pretty bad, not it its believed to have been eradicated through vacination. Dont believe the hype people, you will have to wake up on january 2013 and go to work/school ;-)

I used to be an Athiest until i started Medcial School. It is surprising how science classes actually drive many to realize that we are special. Darwin's work proved something that is common sense "natural selection", but Natural Selection does not prove Evolution. Natural selection is the selection from a pre-existing genetic pool. The question is where did these genetics come from. The first thing i learned in Biochemistry class is that there are no positive mutations in Humans. Any mutation leads to an accumulation of protein/etc. or cancer. That is not the case for inferior creatures such as viruses and bacteria in which genetic mutations are positive and is the way they survive. DNA is amazing in its own right, everything that we need is in a combination of nucleaotides. Life is also very special since scientists still cannot create life in the lab environment. People usually ask at what point does a Fetus become "alive". The real answer is "it was never dead to begin with". The gametes (sex cells) from male and female unite and gestate. Since the Gametes are live and so are the cells and eventually fetus they create, lthe initiation of life never took place, it was only passed down like a flame that has been started a long time ago. So the question is.....where did this flame originate. Scientist believe in the "Big Bang" theory which is essentially the creation of everything we see around us from NOTHING. This puzzles me why they cannot believe in the creation of the world as we know if "from nothing" as believe by creationists. Sorry this is a little off topic from the "Animal Thing" but i am very passionate about this topic especially since i have been amazed by the inner workings of the human body from school. The thing that differentiates us from other Animals is that we are aware of our mortality and live our lives planning into the far future, not just the basic need to survive.

roberto, cities xl 2011 will be downloadable on their website, so you will not have to buy it from england again. i dont know about the languages though...

YESSSSS!!!!!!!! finally i can get a game that i was looking forward to since they anounced CXL

Phyllip, I am getting pretty tired of checking the official website every day. We are almost half-way through with October. Just tell us when the site will open, i am sure that you know when it will be done, you are a professional.

i think the height limitation is a great idea. As we have set the building style, there should be a box where we enter the high limitation of the buildings in the game.

i agree that there are alot of factors, but it would be nice for it to somehow be implimanted into the game.

ok, you get the point people, i want to know what you think of the idea, not if the numbers are correct, lol.

most cities in the world have over 250,000 people in them so a megalopolis cannot be 250,000. i think these numbers should reflect on real world numbers,. PS, the numbers i used were only estimations and not actuall data. I have stated that "this is off the top of my head" and not to be taken seriously. cities usually have populations of over 1 million i think.

I always hoped that transport tycoon and simcity would merge into one game, but that might be too much to handle, micro wise. Regarding the high rise buildings, what is there were certain sets of things you had to achieve in order to move up the level. Example: VILLAGE REQUIREMENTS: Population: 50,000 Buildings: City Hall Income: $$1,000 p/m TOWN REQUIREMENTS: Pupulation: 500,000 Buildings: City Hall, Court House, School, Hospital, Fire Station, Income: $$10,000 p/m CITY REQUIREMENT: Population: 5,000,000 Buildings: All previous, Mass transit, Parks, Airport, Seaport, Stock Market, Waste Management, 500,000 commercial jobs, 200,000 industrial jobs, ect. Income: $$100,000 p/m What do you think, this is off the top of my head, but i would like to see somethign liek this, what do you think phillip??? You can also add power consumption along with waste produced to the list of requirements to go to the next stage. These stages will also have buildings that go along with them. A village will have only 1-2 story houses and a town will have maybe 3 story houses, and a city will allow higher buildings to be built. This can be programed into the game as a set of limitations on construction. Please make zoning, i have played city life and zoning is the biggest thing that i miss.

city2themax, i agree completely. I find it very stupid when i get high rise buildings in sc4 when the city is not even very wide and most of the land is low density or nothing being built on it.

it would also be cool i think if you had to have a developed industry before you can get tall buildings, or an advanced seaport. You cannot have high rise buildings if you dont have te meant to produce ot buy the iron.

what happened to this thread? it used to be so full of excitement and information and ideas. It just died. Phillip, can you liven this thread up a bit with some info to discuss?

lets not also forget the hole digging lots from simcity4 which should have been standard with the game.
