Are we playing on Hard difficulty?

PS
All of my neighbors (1, 11, 10, 5) leave a little room. I'm making connections to each of you.

(Will wait to actually play until we decide what difficulty we want, and will Osweld play?)

EDIT: Well nevermind about which map Osweld will pick. Maybe I'll gather a little commerce from being the central city of all cities picked so far, but that's not necessarily allways true; last game, EPW definitely outdid in population terms everyone else even though he had only two neighbors.

You can expect a monorail connection from me (plus one to Ludd). Ill leave a gap all down that side after the first turn, but ill have to make at least one road connection to you before the first turn.

BTW i think we'll definitely be playing on Hard, no one had any problems before, plus its way too easy already i think.

Although from what i can tell on other maps, my region isnt actually part of Kitakyushu?

Hang on Mrmitchel, I have very little landmass available to me in Region 1, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if you'd let me place the connections since I may need to connect with up to 4 neighbors with extremely limited land space to do so.

Ok Atragon, I will not connect with you. And what a shame. I had rail, avenue, the works planned!

Maq I've already built a little rail but I will accept your monorail connection and maybe when the city is big enough will replace my existing network with the monorail.

I'll take 7, but probably add more flat land to the peninsula, in true Japanese urban style.

A Farmers' Market has opened in Foodvale. Village elders hope it will attract business and prosperity to their corner of the woods. Townsfolk report seeing an increase in drunks on the village green, especially among game players talking about random things.

Up in the mountains on the other side of the river, local wizards have raised an ivory tower, and also raised the Approval Rating.

Mind control also takes on the face of reason, with a school opening up to educate the people to work in less polluting and more profitable trades such as the Municipal Keg.

As you can see Takeshi Bay is a complete mess of residential sprawl, breaking only for the the citys single redeeming feature, the sweeping monorail system, which currently has no stations.

There are no artificial amenities in Takeshi Bay, in fact the only government controlled building is one large fire station, which was placed in a hurry when someone fell asleep whilst roasting turnips shipped in from Elmwood. They were consequently stripped, paddled, and pelted with gravel and hot bovril.

How much does that monorail cost to maintain?

$136, but i dont have any stations yet. With 25 stations its $603. Not sure if this goes up even higher once usage is high, but theyll be profits too.

Am i right in thinking mostly middle class use trains/monorail? Lower class prefer busses and upper class use subway? Or do upper class use monorail?

As it has always been, the save will be accessible here:

and the new save (Hot Springs 2005) has just been posted.

Fun fact for 2005:

Neither El Dorado nor Hot Springs are based on real life cities in pretty much any way. I just stole the names.

I'm trying to use mass transit kind of like Smiley did in East Central and for the densities that I've placed, the usage for my train stations has been promising.

When the city becomes big enough, I'll replace the trains with subways and monorails.

Neighbors: Check your borders. All of you but Atragon and Jonny should have a rail connection and an avenue connection, IIRC.

Jonny, I noticed you are using comcast to host your files like myself. Do you know of anyway to delete previously uploaded files? I am out of storage space but cannot find anyway to make room, other than to upload a file with the same name as one I previously used.

Well, I'm using an FTP program (SmartFTP) to access my space, and in there I have a command to delete files; I suppose you're uploading directly from the Comcast website?
