Sim City (4) Succession Session!

Erm, version 31 I think. That's where the link on my original post goes anyway

NAM has been updated to 31.2 and your link does not work anymore. I dont know how if this will cause any problems in future...

But here I start!

Part one: review, dont you just love statistics?!

Spoiler :
Because there is almost three months since previous chapter I will shortly present current situation of Fort Concentration and my plans to develop it (you can look spoilers how well it went).

Plans!

1st:

Healthcare zones are complitely irrational. They need to be re-optimized. Some zones are rather sick.


Spoiler :
It didnt change much :p


2nd:

Fire stations are evenly placed. Only few corners are neglected. They need to be covered.


Spoiler :
Not much different... That cant be bad.


3rd:

Crime is real problem. Specially airport. In future lot of police kiosks.


Spoiler :
Uh, where is my reform.


4th:

Does this make any sense? To me not at all. Education system was slowly built during each mayors goverment and result is that first half of schools are too full and second half are empty. So it needs to be as well re-optimized.



Spoiler :
Wait...


5th:

Water and air pollution is also nicely under control.



Spoiler :
Fuuuu!



6th:

to make Fort Consternation a real nation. I mean it!

Traffic is also running nicely.


However economy is slowing down. There has been no real growth during i_imperators goverment and previous governer didnt do much better.

Small growth.


And now time to start my grand plans! Oh wait what is that?


The economy melted.


I simply dont know what happend. Industry collapsed before I had taken seat in my office. First half of my game was cutting health care, education and over taxation my citizens. Maybe after shock effect of i_imperator re-urbanizing...?

Afterwards I can say citizens suffered most. Maybe all elder people dies during economy collapse period.


After panic was gone I understood I had taken only one picture :cry: Most of time went to microing economy and zones, to squueze every bit of cash I could take.

Maybe workers in freight station will make harbour even more profitable?


Then economy returned positive and the next mayor President will enjoy nice economy boom. Yes, not a mayor anymore. AND dont you dare use word mayor in future!
 
Part two: some minor adjustment...

Spoiler :
Today, ladies and gentlemens: Fort Concentration has become a nation under great leader of Calad :king:

Shall I present new nuclear plant. No, we are not making nuclear weapon. Any independent nation has right to have peacefull nuclear program. Right?


A new airport! Smaller yes, previous was way too big and only 10% of its maxium capacity was beign used. Calads International Air port. To make it work you need to connect it to metro... and maybe build a bridge! But what happend to previous air port?


White house! Officially Fort Consternation Presidents Palace. To understand how huge international airport is I tell you that part of Presidency is now part commercial and housing zone.


Calads Reformed Disease Recearch center (sorry to destroy central park a bit). Its not were effective even in middle of city. How to take full use of it?

(later I understood this was a mitake. it cannot replace hospitals and is not very efficient. next president can fix this if he likes and restore central park)

Economy is booming after my presidency and population has growth over 10%


Air pollution has been steadily increasing. Water pollution is almost same.



No change in garbage as well.


Education is slowly worsening.

As well life expectancy!

Metro or something else did wonders to commute time.


Crimes and arrests are following each other.


And in the end, few graphs:

Popularity is high as ever


City is poorer than ever!


As well citizens


economy is recovering ;)


Final words: I had plenty of plans but first half my playtime I had to dramatically balance budget. Like every man I also left footprints on history and reformed landscape of Fort Consternation. I belive White house is now a permanent land mark. New Airport needs to be enlarged later but I estimate population must go over 600 000 before it is necessarry.

After final words I hope I will start a new tradition: afterwords to next president.

Why? City is simply too large and complex now to develop without long term plans giving some tips to next President will hopefully make governing megalopolis more smoothly.

Here is mine: how to continue my legacy next steps might be usefull. Next President must reform city with some real plans. Education and healthcare is simply costing too much money on current level. Upgrading commercial and industry zones might be a good start. Put some road tolls to make citizens use public transportation, to collect fees and reduce trafic and pollution.

Population growth: 450 437 +10,29%

Cash: 32 000 -76,6%

What do you think? Can I try again?
 
Maybe it's just me, but the images don't seem to be loading. If I quote the post and paste the URL, it works, and the IMG tags look OK, but it doesn't seem to load at CFC. Tried Opera, Firefox, and IE without luck.

Waiting to read until the images are up for a more immersive experience...

If problem does not solve and others have it well I need to re-upload them. Do you recommend some site?
 
I tend to use photobucket, especially when posting fourm games for civ, and yes im not getting any images either.

I usually use Photobucket, too. They're pretty good about not deleting things arbitrarily. Other options I've seen people use, though I haven't myself, are Imgur and ImageShack.

My second-most-used option is the CFC upload system (then open the link of the uploaded picture in a new tab, and put the URL in
 
Now photopucket should show all pictures. And put me back on the list :) Cant wait to play next time.
 
Nice work calad! :goodjob:

I'll see what I can do to keep your legacy in tact- the White House is definitely staying, though calling ourselves "Presidents" seems unnecessary, besides, I've always liked the idea of people with huge amounts of power having titles that fail to reflect that (Mayors of Trantor in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, or even something like "General Secretary of the Central Committee" in the USSR)

I'll hopefully have something out early next week as I have a pretty hectic weekend ahead of me
 
Great work, Mr President :hatsoff:

I was worried that my re-urbanization may have doomed this city, but it seems like your play through helped it quite a bit, good job, I like the changes :)

I was thinking, is there any way we could replace the airport on the island off in the corner with the international airport, and making the island bigger? Having an airport stuck in the middle of the CBD seems unrealistic unless its Hong Kong during the 90's (ironically its what they did with their new international airport in real life), and it seems kinda unnecessary to have two airports, when the international airport can handle a city with over 1mill. obv we will need some money first. :)
 
Airport problem in game is very same as in real world: they are huge. Putting airport on remote non-economical place is best place to put it. If Fort Consternation will grow even more land will be even more precious thus there are less desirable places for huge airport. Current airport is municipal size, international is even more huge. Had there been bigger sea I would ha built very own island for it. Like Japanese:

But it is next President to decide :)
 
imgur.com is best. It's also super easy to control image sizes with imgur; the images here were just a bit too large.
 
Im sorry but in next week it has been again one month since last update. I know this is rather old game now but should I consider this dead and abandoned?
 
I PM'ed Peck to check. I'm still following this and will be ready for my session when the time comes (although my availability does decrease around the first week of November, and I don't know if I'll be up for another session after that).

Interesting redevelopments, by the way. I see you are the first to be willing to risk nuclear power! Nice job making it to 450,000 people, too - I wasn't sure how much more room for growth there was. Too bad on the economy melting, though.
 
You guys should place a dozen nuclear power plants downtown. Right next to the chunky peanut butter factories.
 
I built nuclear plant on purpose on island. In case radiation gets out of hand I can sink whole island into sea :D
 
Sorry gang, my bad; real life has gotten in the way and as a result I've been hiatus from posting on the forum for the last couple of weeks. I should have let you know sooner... but I've been on hiatus from posting on the forum for the last couple of weeks :)

Skip my turn and I'll be ready to take up the mantle when it's my turn again
 
Mythmonster next then.

How about in future we set a deadline when next update should be posted? If not we ask first what is situation and then decide to move on next player. Im tired of waiting weeks a small update.
 
Unfortunately, I'm not really going to be able to contribute anymore to this. School's just gotten in the way too much. Still, I wish Fort Consternation and New Eden the best of us luck in the future.
