Tardville update.

[Kenadian]

Unless we can get dark_magnoblade posting here, I wouldn't suggest inviting him to the new City.

If we're going to depend on one another for prosperity, we'll need everyone working together and it won't help if you can't talk to one of your Mayor's.

Speaking of which, does anyone know how to disable services from another Mayor that you do not want such as Garbage or Recycling Pickup?

 

[Dark_magnoblade]

You mother frackers called LOL

 

[mondo]

Someone wanted 60,000 TV's? Should be I'm now in the TV business...

 

[Dark_magnoblade]

OMG thank you that arco needs them do you know how to send them to the great works site?

 

[Kenadian]

lol, nice to see you dark!

We're probably going to start up a new Area on Sunday, you game?

 

[mondo]

I'm 44000 TV's in supplying it! It still needs some metal but that can be imported in if needed. I've researched the solar farm. If someone else can do the airport we should be set to make the whole area quite awesome.

When I'm done with the TV's, I'll save up 20m or so and flatten my other city and start over with it.

 

[mondo]

Oh and stop sending your bloody criminals over to my city.

 

[mondo]

TV's done! Just needs the metal now. 120 tons will finish the archology.

 

[Dark_magnoblade]

Weird, I put 60k of the buggers into it! It told me it was complete. When I look at it now, its as I left it yesterday, just needs 115 more metal.

 

[mondo]

Ok, its now 5% into construction.

 

[mondo]

Done! It needs more power though. 300mw, so a nuke station for itself and water, I can't figure out how to give it either.

 

[little P]

Oh bugger... I started one of them right up north... doh! that's a lot of wonga wasted lol oh well, if we're starting a new one sunday it doesn't matter eh. And like d00key says if we can build with interdependency in mind that will be awesome

I'm looking forward to starting afresh, I messed up the first two cities so bad, and you can't just bulldoze and start again as the criminals are still there... as I found out when I attempted it yesterday... :icon_eek:

If we leave messages on the region wall, do we pick them up even if we're not online and get them when we next log on?

Nice one Mondo... I really struggled with a tech city... waaay too much crime! And traffic...

 

[JohnnyK]

After messing around for about 2 hours it is save to say I have no clue what I am doing. So you guys best invite me so I can mess up your shit too.

 

[Kenadian]

If you get on with us tomorrow Johnny we can help you fast track your understanding of the game.

I've started a Sim City Tips and Tricks thread here which may help you a bit and we'll keep adding to it as we figure more stuff out.

 

[Dark_magnoblade]

I will be on ts all day if any of you wanna jump on

 

[Kenadian]

I'll be on later. I have my daughter until this afternoon.

Jk, its pretty simple if you want to make a shit load of cash. Basically as you go up tech levels in production specialisations, you kill off the old ones and import in the cheap stuff and export out the expensive i.e. every time you can make something you can export for more than the combined sum of its parts, do so. You can start making things like TV's pretty quick and once you can, its only worth keeping around the processor factories, just import the rest in by sea or rail.

As for gambling, its a bit more complicated because you need certain levels of population to make it work. I couldn't get gambling to work unless I'd done one of the other specialisations first.
