Hey y'all. Wanna build a Sim City 2000 city together? You do? That's great!

All you have to do download the last file in the thread, unzip it, pick an island and build!

Here's the rules:
1. Every island must not breach the outside of it's 14x14 area
2. You must put up a sign somewhere in the city with your screen name on it.
3. You must pick an island that borders at least one allready occupied island.
4. You must provide power to all neighboring unused islands without power (Raised wire bridges to all that don't have one leading to them allready)
5. You must send one and only road bridge to each unused nieghboring island
6. You may send a rail and/or highway bridge to any unused nieghbor but only one of each per neighbor
7. You may place a sub-to-rail or a subway station in your island, I'll hook it up to the rest of the system.
8. Don't mess with other people's cities or bridges and keep no disasters on.
9. No scurking
10. You may change any three city ordininces (either approve or repeal)
11. No lude markings or building naming
12. You may have only one special item per city

Special items:
A reward (First come first serve)
An arcology
A stadium Only five in city (One per sport, first come first serve)
An additional sign (Only one in city)
Renaming the Marina system, hydrodam system, wind power system, park system, library system, museum system, rail system, subway system or bus system.

All islands will be checked by me for approval and rereleased with minor modifications (Water and subway hookups, and fixing any rules violations)

Have fun!!!

IT IS DONE!

Sure, you can run the simulator, just try to keep it under 100 years, that way I don't have to myself, the only thing I'd prefer to do myself is hook up water and subways.

Well, looks like we need residential and some more water pumps...

if you want librarys, museums and colleges, press and hold on the school tab and a selection menu will appear. Same goes for hospitals, prisons and fire stations, just press and hold on the police tab. Experiment by pressing and holding on the different tabs and you will see all the fun stuff you can build. Oh, and you tiles will turn to buildings in time, given a road is atleast 3 squares away. (dont know if rail road or a subway stop counts thou) Also, make sure you zone whats needed, and not something unnessesary.

Well, it looks like PritomD isn't going to make one, so we'll have to move on without him. Of course, PritomD is always welcome to submit one, just as long as he doesn't prevent others.

ok I'm taking the save. I dreampt about it last night so how could I say no?

Aug 17, 2003, 04:40 PM
Hehe, I dream about sim city too

Hygro
Aug 17, 2003, 05:37 PM
actually i pretty muched dreampt my idea (even though I thought of it yesterday)

I kept trying things out because it needed to be aesthetically pleasing, and since a lot of options didnt make the cut, I used some 300,000 dollars and about 25 years :ack:

Perfection
Aug 17, 2003, 08:14 PM
:goodjob:
It was worth every penny ;)

But still, industry is desperately needed, and a fire station would hurt either...

Hygro
Aug 17, 2003, 08:35 PM
Thanks :)

yeah industry is important. I tried varius industrial placements but I found they didnt look good. The only reason I put in the commercial was because about 1/3 the buildings were abondonded without it.

Does fire protection raise land value and that sort of thing? Because without disastors on I don't really see the need unless it would make one's island cooler.

Aug 21, 2003, 08:03 PM
Fixed a couple minor problems, everything looks great!

Hygro
Aug 21, 2003, 08:24 PM
what minor problems would that be?

Oh and here's a complaint of mine: our subway system is pretty poor. Right now its my light residential area with a bit of commerce connected to knas's heavy industry, which does indeed benifit my place but we should have most islands connected by subway thus our city would grow better.

Perfection
Aug 21, 2003, 08:45 PM
I fixed the subway system so that you could get to ville's industry faster, also remember anyone can start trains or highways, as long as it connects to unused areas

naervod
Aug 21, 2003, 11:04 PM
I have the installation files on my hard drive (or so my dad says), so I will build a city tonight or Saturday (busy all day tomorrow, school, hang out w/ friends, dance).

Hygro
Aug 22, 2003, 12:16 AM
dancing should always be ones first priority :thumbsup:

Faster subways are always good. I shoulda put in a rail system and a highways and stuff--my coolest city in sim city 2000 was built ground up with a perfect road, rail, and highway grid (no subways but its cool). However, it didn't fit with my theme.

Perfection I would like to thank you for your time in creating 42 equal islands. I looked closer at the map and realized it woulda took a lot of time to create. This is also a great idea too. The land plots are the perfect size, and I keep coming up with these great ideas of how to make cool islands. I'll just make sure everyone's had a turn before I ask for seconds ;)

Perfection
Aug 22, 2003, 02:34 AM
Your welcome

Actually it's forty nine, (7x7) islands

It was very simple to design (I wanted at leas 3 tiles seperation and I used my handy TI89 to find the largest island size), the pain was actually building the damn islands, and something new is in the works I have to figure out a couple of things be the result will be pretty interesting. And if you want to do more sim citty just check out my downloads thread, you can upload your stuff too, and show off your creativity.

I don't think I'll allow seconds in this one, sorry if that upsets you

Hygro
Aug 22, 2003, 06:30 AM
a lack of seconds is fine.

I'm looking forward to whatever new sim city 2000 thing you havge up your sleeve.

And when my brother and I finish the city we are working on together, I'll upload it (its built for aesthetics but is intended to be made without cheating or "African Swallow" which is a hard line to balance).

Perfection
Aug 22, 2003, 09:44 AM
Jut for the record, the only cheating I have ever done is in this city, and a couple other similar ones

Hygro
Aug 22, 2003, 04:02 PM
me neither. Now we can make assumptions that all cities unless otherwise posted are legit :)

Perfection
Aug 24, 2003, 08:32 PM
But, you don't use African swallow, I use it frequently when I want to develop a city fast, it ruduces the creation time from a week to a couple days

Hygro
Aug 24, 2003, 08:36 PM
usually I do but sometimes if I want to try to develope the coolest city possible I don't as I want to keep the date down.

Hygro
Aug 27, 2003, 10:22 PM
we could use some seaports... heres the deal with seaports: you need to take a large chunk out of your island to allow for the docks to be built as the water ways are too small. If their are no docks then the seaport is useless.

Does that mean that you don't have sc2k? its 10$ @ walmart

Perhaps its time to let those who have already made an island make another one because I'm not sure we'll be able to fill up the 30+ vacant squares with new people.

the lack of roads and electricity to one side?

Hakim
Jul 05, 2004, 07:17 AM
That's right, I broke rule number 5 twice!:wallbash: I didn't build road and wires to one of the islands, and 2 roads to one of them. Did you fix those, Perfection? I hope my 9-tile areas was preserved on the missing bridge side, the 4-tiles isn't that important. And although either duplicate bridge on the south east side can be removed, I need the roads to go all the way to the water, otherwise it won't build properly.

The demand for Industrial Zones seem to have skyrocketed. It was on zero when I started my city.

Perfection
Jul 08, 2004, 02:28 AM
@Chunky, unfrotunatly WinZip hated your file, I recreated it from the pic though, down to the powerline.

The demand for Industrial Zones seem to have skyrocketed. It was on zero when I started my city.That's odd, industrial demand should be high all the time, the city is exteremly unbalanced with way too much commercial and residential zoning. If you run the simulator awhile all the commercial zones will abandon. The only thing keeping the residential and commercial zones from looking like the Flint scenario is my underhanded methods of temporarily bolstering the demand.

Hakim
Jul 08, 2004, 02:50 AM
Ok, I'm not 100% sure, but I could only remember demand for Residental Zones (and now you say there's too much!?). Well it's easy to check (but I'm at work now so I can't).

Doesn't the demand for industrial zones go down a bit when the city increase in size?

BTW are you talking about the RCI indicator? Even if there's high demand for a zone type I think it can become abandoned in places too far from the other zone types.

Perfection
Jul 08, 2004, 08:38 AM
Yes, I'm talking about demand, right now there is way too much commercial compared to industry.

Normally a zip file is made by file compression software like "winzip" and then uncompressed. You just changed the extension and not any of the data so when I tried to uncompress it it got all confused and gave me an error message!

JudgeDeadd, I wonder why the sign didn't show up, I just checked the city and it is there.

Odd.


Edit: On closer inspection I've revealed the mystery

The reason you don't see it is because if you look really closely at the side of shadodude's space port facing the unnamed island you'll see the helicopter. It's flying over the area normmally obstructed by the sign. When that happens the sign disappears
