Bigger maps
I love the return of the fusion powerplant, greatest thing I used in simcity!
***** Nice try moronS.
***** You will need 2500mwh if you're doing electronic city with tons of factories.
yeah maxis, fix that bug where you couldnt connect the side entrance, same problem with trainstations.
its not even a bug. You just cant place intersections too close to each other.
it is supossed to connect, just like the front entrance, even if its not a bug, its still fucking retarded
InteNsYT yea thats true. Sometimes it totally screws up your planning only because the intersections are to close together. i personaly would like if the train station for example would snap to the street again and not to the traintrack like it was in the first version shown in the gameplay videos. Its a pain to place the station in a good place when you need to do centimeter work on the tracks.
As Anno 2070 fan, i can say the content of CT is taken from there. The hole thing- 2 fractions ecos and indostry + academy(tech). The Academy works the same way, it just ......
Can't wait!!! I already have it pre-ordered!
Did anyone else notice that the city had a much lower population after they finished the megatowers than before they even started?
The megatowers should have a massive population density. It doens't make sense for the tower to have fewer people in it than the sum of the smaller buildings that would have made up the same area occupied by the tower.
Probably because of High Wealth population increase.
Why the heck would I want to buy an exp pack that adds new things if maps are too small to fit them in my city?
do you play in only one city I play in multiple cities and the dlc fits im my region
Only a few more days and I shall be taking my game into the future!
29:03
In mind: "I need an add-on. Ok, where can I put it? Here? No. Here? No. Here? No.... Damn it! I wish I have a bigger map!"
They could add an expansion pack where when you build zones there's an option to customize the buildings and also customise on what it specialises
Not to sound nasty, but 30 euros for an expansion that sounds like it would fix a bunch of the problems the original had (the drones probably won't get confused in an intersection), seems a bit underhanded.
That's as if CD Projekt had charged people money for the enhanced edition of the Witcher Games. Heck, Square Enix charges you for the EE of Deus Ex, but only 5 bucks.
Andrew Wilson made a statement about that "everyone likes to steal/giving people better value for their money" philosophy. Guess currently it's not being implemented.
4:13 this is how they face bugs.
Super excited for this!!!
Won't play this again before huge maps...
They wont be adding bigger maps
Then I guess less people are going to buy the game, better put bigger maps in the next one. if a PC can't do something today that doesn't mean future computers a few years down the line won't be able to, it's a poor argument to leave options out. Also it wasn't true that PCs in 2013 couldn't run bigger maps properly. This was found out after someone hacked the game to have bigger maps.
there is a bigger maps mod and roads to build outside in the bigger area and also RCI plop to have RCI outside the original boundry
Look how all the traffic is just sitting there all over the city. Traffic still broken. Cities don't work. But pay $30 and they'll make sure emergency services can start flying over the traffic so that your cities no longer come to a halt, crime rampant and buildings burning down. Too bad it doesn't fix a host of other problems jammed traffic kills.
Quite right, I think we just have a case of no avenues or public transport whatsoever.
I never have any traffic problems in my city, you must be really bad if you still can't fix it with all the updates, bug fixes they have done + the new maglev station
It's funny how this is called cities of "tomorrow", yet the sick thing is that Shanghai pretty much looks like this today irl. Architecturally that is.
The name is not based on the looks, rather the tech implemented with the expansion.
Also, gotta love the awesome road tool! (4:09 ish) LOL! What's probably blocking it (since there was no intersection nearby) is most likely a bus stop of some sort. What they *should* do is just have the road destroy what's in the way. Could just prompt the user with something like, "This action will bulldoze a bus stop, is this okay?" and it would be fine. Either way, it's annoying.
smaller maps my god these plots are huge, and could you add a little traffic? i barley see any cars on the roads. plus i want my mega towers to make less profit, they are just doing to good for me to handle. and dont forget i want origin to update every month for 2 hours if i click on simcity because if i click on simcity that means i dont want to play the game.
*****
The so called small maps is because the glassbox couldn't work in wide free range.
IT IS sad that people did not understand this AMAZING game
I'm gonna try to "break" my city, just for lols.
I'll build megatowers of nothing but residentials, then watch the hilarity ensue as they all get in their cars trying to go shopping down the highway.
Omega CO + The Academy = Skynet and the robot APOCALYPSE!!!
ooh ooh ooh I have a question. When will we get bigger maps?
Dredd is a great movie i just watched it last night! it look more form Omega Co building style. i can't wait for this new expanion pack to come out, is it a midnight release? tonight?
Really love the Mega-towers, but there are a few issues with them and there is one in particular which I hope you will look at. While I have managed to get working, profitable towers through trial and error the biggest issue with them is that you have to demolish floors if you wan't to replace any of the lower ones. Let's say you build a mall at the third floor. Later on that mall is not very successful because you miscalculated the number of residents needed, or it just changes after a while from going great, to having no customers at all and losing money (even though you did not change anything about the tower itself). Now I actually have to demolish all the floors above, including the crown, which may work great by themselves. Either that or I just turn off the mall, but then it's just an empty floor that does nothing... If I chose earlier to have that particular tower to provide power for my city, I am screwed because I will have to build a temporary power plant outside until I am done rebuilding all the floors I had to demolish. You should add a re-model option for the floors so I can actually replace a floor without destroying most of the tower.
What is the building before the attractions in the specialisations?
i dont understand how can you have 189 thousand people in the city without the mega towers and when you plop the mega towers in your city the population is 143 thousand
This is a tiny questionne, how do i remouve simcity cities of tomorrow from my simcity 5?
Do you need Sim City 5 in order to play this game or can I just buy it out right and use it
4 seasons and real weather please.
wait so his omega co city was small as hell but now his Academy city is big i don't even
Is maxis going to add new regions with the EP?
Good expansion pack so far! Reminds me of a cross between Anno and Simcity (:
This expansion better be the price of them paying us 10 dollars
I WANT TO BUY IT TOO
SO EXITED!!! XD hopefully it will go a bit better than the simcity launch
Bigger maps please...
Mega towers seem a bit like MEGA CITY ONE towers
BIGGER MAPS!
does the launch acolorgie ever come back?
No, you have to buy a replacement module to plop on top of the base. It can be bought from the same menu as you bought the main unit the first time
okay, thanks!
Will the limited edition come back?
BTW, it. Ay seem like anno, because it portraits the same problem in modern times, environment VS industry
BIGGER MAPS!!!
Why do the Cities of Tomorrow Expasion Pack reminds me of the movie TOTAL RECALL .... especailly the Megatowers .... hahahaha
its that amazing dystopian look, the dark buildings with the bright neon lights, then they have the utopian look of the academy, I wish they would add something like a steampunk type to, and it would be cool to have some block wars going on lol
We still need regions with bigger cities!
*****
The glassbox can't handle it otherwise they would so stop bitching
Well, heck. I came to learn about the Academy and you guys immediately shifted over to Megatowers. I thought this was about Academy. I see why it's 40 minutes long. You're trying to cover everything.
Does anyone have a link to a RUclips video on just Academy and ControlNet?
bye at 5:02 still listening to megatower talk.
Same here, would really like to get to grips with how to make this all work...
Kevin Morrison Academy is very simple really. The only thing you really need is a decent amount of wealthy residents, as it requires mostly high wealth workers. It will function without a full staff, but your research projects will be slower and you will produce less control-net. Control-net is basically "power" for all the high-tech buildings you unlock from researching in the academy, such as maglev train stations, a sewage treatment plant that can create water from sewage, the fusion power plant and also certain utility floors for the Mega-towers. If you look at all the high tech buildings they display how much control-net they need. If you want to know how much control-net you are creating just click on your academy building and it will be displayed in the same way as water and power surplus/deficiency. If you don't have enough control-net your high tech buildings will shut down just like normal building does when it doesn't get enough power. This can be crucial if you are using it for buildings that provide utility like water, sewage treatment and power.
You can put up extra control-net towers around the city to increase control-net output. They take about the same space as a large park, and just like the Academy they require mostly high wealth sims to work, so there is no point in putting out 5 control net towers if you don't have workers for them. It is better to have 1-2 extra and have them filled with workers (if you click on them you will how many low, medium and high wealth sims who work there).
Also keep in mind that the Academy building requires about the same space as a university (with additional buildings). This means that you need to plan ahead when you plop your Academy so you have some free space around them. The reason for that is just like at the university you will be able to upgrade the Academy 3 times, and each time you can put out an additional building. The extra building unlocks a certain type of research project. If you for example want to unlock the research for a fusion reactor power plant you need to put out the Plasma-tech building. Just look at the stuff you can research by click the "research" button on the Academy and it will list the requirements of the various projects. To advance in levels you need to research at least on project on each level to be able to go to the next one.
The price of the projects also indicates how long the research time will be. At cheetah-speed, the cheap ones that costs 5000 will be done in just a few minutes, while the most expensive ones and upgrading to a higher level will take 45-60 minutes in real time. I would advice to research the fusion reactor power plant as soon as you can, as it provides 200-600mw of non-polluting power. If you research the advanced fusion reactor, you can actually put replace the 3 modules on the power plant and get up to 3x2400mw of power.
It is very important to be aware that you need another power plant to "jump-start" the fusion power plant. I don't have the exact number, but it seems to be somewhere in the area of 400+ mw of extra power in your city. You only need it for a few seconds. If you want to add the 2 extra modules later on, you don't need to jump-start it again as long as it has at least 1 working power module. This also applies if you are upgrading to advance fusion modules. Replace one module at a time and it will be fine.
I know this was a massive wall of text, but hopefully it will help you out a bit.
I keep getting bugged and can't click on anything...
whats wrong with the size if the city? i think its a perfect size. i have never seen or herd of a city as big as simcity 4 city's. i think the smaller city's are more realistic.
Bigger maps please city's skilines did it
I wish the map wasn't tiny.
one small step for sims,one giant leap for simkind!
Crazy idéa here! Bigger maps! I dont care about this expansion pack, just bigger maps!
Xobralvl70 They can't do big maps because of the complication of the system and second not everyone's computer load them
Its got pretty low system requirement
it's funny listening to devs talk to the game the way (i'm assuming) players do...@ 3:13 we get a FUCK THE POOR!
O and by the way, your excuse for not making bigger maps is because the server cannot handle it. So instead you create these massive high resolution structures that tax video and will be the cause of major server lag. So what is the real reason we cannot get big maps? You know like the ones we USED to have in SimCity4.. I bet it is because the lag is going to be massive with the addition of all these high priced expansions and there is more money in this than in giving the community what they REALLY want. Maxis made a huge mistake partnering with the likes of EA, you have lost sight of what made SimCity great and you inherited EA's greeeeeed!!!
Mega towers? So I can make city from the star wars universe
so you have to go with academy or omgeco citys and you are not able to have both of them in the same plot of land
When's the next one with omegle coming up?
I love simcity
Check out that awful traffic jam at 2:10
Lets bulldose all those low wealth sims because theres no room for more buildings due to the fact that the map is tiny... :///
I have been a long supporter for Simcity,
Okay, I forgive the login problem, the disappeared game save, the traffic problem and all kind of bugs.....
But I am reli pissed after watching this video, even the demo having problem in connecting the side roads, what would I expect from the extension pack?
"Have to squeeze the "Mega tower" in the tiny map, just like packing all kind of utilities into the tiny map, and deal with unless traffic again?"
Not to mention I have to pay for it, are you kidding me?
This game is simply broken , and I am reli disappointed about it.
Amen, about time someone on here points out the on going BS from EA.
ha all of you that are going looking for a nother SimCity I think this is the last one and it is awesome and deal with the small maps it is the the new stuff like the upgrade tool that you cam add more stuff to buildings and all of that and who carse a bot bugs I think maxis and origin has done a good job with the new SimCity and I love that they are having SimCity going in to the future like the sims 3 into the future and keep up the good work maxis and origin and I am nicks sims 3 build but keep up the good work :)
Does the rocket come back
I prefer the traditional game and ordinary like a real life.
how many levels can you have per tower?
8 levels per maga tower + the crone
Make more of this :D
why dont they add more real world stuff. I mean there is overhead trains or metro in real life. why not create realistic looking buildings that you can edit rather than megatowers like the ones from movie dredd. they could have improved the core game much more rather than going off rails. I would have bought the expansion then. but this one I will pass... .
I pre ordered this yesterday :)
The game isn't really that sucks...you just need to learn how to play and stop abandoning your 5k population towns :p
If you are going to put links in your description, at least put a link to your live stream / Twitch channel for people to click FOLLOW on. I don't care to be taken to a hidden buy our product page with your bit.ly link.
in nederland pas over twee dage kan niet waten
ik weet
I really like this game(as opposed to all of the problems like drm and small maps) but them having problems connecting the mega tower to the road was pathetic.how can they see their flaws and not freaking fix it?
rico6297 The maps are small because the glassbox can only work in a what they give us to work with
Wery good work.I'm wait when can i buy in Hungary ;)))
Can you (Ea/Maxis) Search Jonathan S. Fox and use his ideas for the ai since it is untrue to say that the ai is a simulator of real life.
Thanks
-Cameron
This should be free or at least a lot cheaper
11:50 SkyNet? :O
i play it today,excellent,i sugest you buy this expansion pack
Im gonna wait until game is released then buy!
256 people hate simcity because of the launch bugs that were fixed ages ago
Congratulation.
they ded gewd dident thay.
Awesome!
Game still sucks
Still your opinion. I like it :)
***** I like it too! The game may have some problems but I still keeping coming back to it!
thekorgboy98 It's not the problem or bugs. The game doesn't play or feel like the traditional SimCity Franchise... I myself a SC veteran personally feel let down by Maxis. After 10 long years of waiting for a great SimCity game, this game plays more like SC Societies / Anno 2070. This isn't the SimCity I was hoping for. Sure I like the graphics and animation but, again the game doesn't play like previous titles. Few major and minor features are still missing from this game. SC Veterans would know what I am talking about. If you like this game then I don't think you understand what SimCity really is.
Palmac15 I have played some of the older games and I do not really see your point as in sime city 5 thay removed the grid-system wish in the older-games forced you to use strait roads, no curves, no bends, with simecity 5 it fixes that problem, letting people do more stuff, more easily,
Hanro Lareman I agree, i can't wait for this expansion pack
I get it the Glass Box Engine cannot do Larger Maps But since the Global Economy is there Why not Make it so REGIONS can Co op and Make a True SIM Nation? that would be the next best thing to Larger maps Since we do not play more than one City in a Region at a time as in Loading it making it so you can Share with another Region would make the Game even Bigger and Better ya?
Their city made me think how ugly my city is.......
You have a slight power problem :3
i don't know about you guys, but i like it...
can't wait until 2088!
nice city
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh theee video has BUGGGGSS! AHAHAHAHHAHAHA
