quote: Originally posted by Smiley It's probably all the little islands that are placed to make bridge building difficult if not impossible. Maybe you could do two seperate cities on the two sides?

Actually all the major landmass can be connected by bridge by building 3 bridges up the left side then a bridge across the top. A bunch of the islands can also be connected by bridge. Amphibious transit is also in option .

quote: This is the CURRENT VERSION OF THE PLUGINS, including the trash chute. It is the version of the NAM that we used in the last game. I looked at (and DLed) the July version of NAM, but I don't understand enough of the 'optional' details to install it myself, nor did we agree yet to do that. If we're going to do that (which i'm fine with), someone please post an updated version.

FYI the "options" files don't actually change between NAM releases, only the main file (by far the largest) needs to be replaced in order to upgrade. I'll be using an up to date version; the most important thing is everyone uses the same option files, altough even this isn't critical, the options basically determine difficulty and also ensure that a few graphs remain accurate when viewed by others - especially the commute time one.

Mt. Pudung City '05

http://lemmy.redial.net/simcity/kitakyushu/upload.php

I put my save in the wrong place Lemmy, now i see Xiamen exists. Ill leave this one there for the time being, or you can move it.

Anyway heres my start, cut it close with the highways but got them all in place. This is gonna be a big city, not too much high-wealth, plenty of traffic.

I don't know--the map worked for me.

Would it be possible to have two more plugins? I'd like to use these...they're roadside versions of the bus and subway stations.

OK, apparently SC4 wants it to be square. I get the error "Region bitmap size is incorrect - 1089x641, should be 1025x1025". I resized the image to 1025x1025 (by just adding a bunch of water at the bottom) and tried to load it, and nothing happened.

Can you form ferry connections with only people adjacent to you, or with anyone connected to you by water?

That's odd... it shouldn't be looking for a square bitmap. Did you place the custom config.bmp file into the Xiamen region folder before loading the region bitmap?

Anyone can connect by ferry, even if there are undeveloped cities in between. Guess Snotty won't be screwed so long as he builds a ferry terminal.

Made avenue connections to all my neighbours, but i forgot to plan for a mass transit system..means i'll have to demolish some of my city later on. Also build 2 overpriced bridgesm didn't realize untill later that i could've used cheaper ferries instead.

Lots of low-wealth still, looks hideous really...

The road network is actually attached to jobs, right? No-car zot is also shown if no jobs (civic building, industry/comm zone) are present on the road network. The no-job zot is shown when there are jobs present, but not enough.

I'll upload the save tommorow.

I'm playing nearly 100% clean, no dirty industry *at all* *ever*, full edjumaction and health, only renewable power, a farmers market (for the health benefits). It's paying off so far, by the end of '04 I had 2 Kane Tiberiums and a high tech patch of grass =).

My budget will be harder to balance than last game, without cheap dirty power, tolls, trash burner etc. I'll partly be relying on I.ag taxes & transit income for disposable income, I expect my bus network will be making a profit by the time I have 10K pop.

Helin City '05 uploaded

R 16.8k
C 2.1k
I 6.1k

Named in honour of my most successful SC2k city.

I started out with a network of avenues and roads. The large hill in the northern part of the city will act as a buffer between the heavy pollution industrial area in the west and the residential area in the east.

I've also now learned to not make tight squares without any space at all - now I have lots of trees and space in between streets and houses, so I can plop down more stuff in the future.

My plan is to develop a high-wealth city, as opposed to my previous one which was all medium-wealth. I also want the city to look a bit more natural as opposed to the fully packed grids I had earlier; and I want a more fluid transit system. That in mind, I have left enough space around the avenues so that they can be replaced by highways when there's funding. (Or maybe a monorail...?)

I've also played Yukuhashi-Kanda to 2050 and am pretty much done with it, I'll upload it later on.

I guess not. Stick with the plugin set (last game's PLUS garbage chute) linked on page one ... and use LHdrivers plugin if you are a left handed driving country (or your software is from one such.)

Three Cities

I built an island from scratch in the southern half of my map, which I plan to fill with industry (for now; eventually I hope for it to be a good mix of skyscrapers, high-density res, and manufacturing/HT). It's connected to the small island by an elevated rail bridge as well as with a ferry terminal. The small island is almost completely covered in residential, with a little bit of commercial. I haven't touched to corner of the big island that I have, yet, but I want to put HT there eventually. I chose elevated rail so I can integrate it with a subway system later if I want to.

It doesn't - but the boats are able to cross them.
