Still haven't got the hang of proper traffic management.

This is the biggest I've ever got. Turns out cargo ports spit out a metric shit ton of traffic every time a ship come in.

My favourite shot is still this overly ambitious firefighter

Actually looks pretty nice if you ask me.

Only cause it's not zoomed in :P

I was quite proud of it to be honest. Only issues I started to have were water and waste management, and one or two particularly busy roads that I couldn't really fix, having built myself into a corner.

At one point I moved my water pumps from the main river here to one just north, out of the picture. Only I'd misjudged how much I was sucking up, and as the northern river was much smaller I completely dried it up.
Only shot I've got of that is this one after I fixed it. Put my wastewater dispoal there to refill the river and added a load of groundwater tanks to supplement my reduced pumps.

Also the Passenger ships had a bit of fun getting up to and down from their ports thanks to this lovely little unintended water slide

No, not really. But Paradox is Paradox, so go for it.

If it's me playing, there's plenty of accidental killing of my own people.


Sure, you can claim those two earthquakes were accidental and not your fault, but all those citizens know the angry god in the sky who gives city blocks can also take away.

I'll always remember Quill18's first stream of the Natural Disasters where he didn't understand why there wasn't anything happening when he pressed the tornado or tsunami button.

Naturally, he pressed it several times thinking it was busted.

Queue a whole bunch of tornados and tsunami's all at once.

I'm getting two mixed up.
Sips was the ones with the tornados.
Quill I think was the one with the tsunamis

It's so much better than a Sim City game and therefore has more depth to it. A bit harder to get the grasp of.

Did the Sim City games ever have real game mechanics or were we just putting buildings wherever we wanted without consequence?

Ill start taking names for those who want to OP the next thread, remember i can only have 10 options in the poll, and i would prefer it if you are a long term regular on here or have some experience with oping threads. So if a nation pops up with 20 posts im not going to consider it.

Ill probably set up the poll around 460-470 maybe. Just so we have it set in stone and there is not a delay with the voting mainly happening on one day right at the end of the thread page limit like last time.

Okay guys, it's an elective monarchy so before we can start the vote we have to find an inbred imbecile to inexplicably vote for in spite of all logic and reason.
