OK, can i join please Iggy? 
The town of "Neo Highlandcow"
Celtonian exiles wandered the world, looking for a place to settle down. They didnt have much, but they did have a herd of Highland Cows. And very hardy and handsome beasts they were.
Arriving in the state of Nesopolis, they came to the plains at the foot of the NAO Chi Minh City mountain... They realised this would make a great place to establish a Highland Cow farm, and bring the joys of Highland Cowism to Nesopolis, while secretly arming themselves to the teeth in the event of war with neighboring peoples...
If possible, i request the following:
* A grid pace somewhere, preferably south-west of Epstonia, somewhere on the plains below the mountain (i dunno where the actual grids are, since i havent been able to see the images on the first page).
* Farms, farms and more farms, with small bunches of low-density shops and houses dotted around.
* Random areas of natural forest left untouched, except perhaps with strange looking buildings or monuments in them
* low tolerance for pollution, cleaner methods of power generation and trash disposal, if there is ever enough money for that.
* As little police/fire/medicare/education as possible, our people can take care of themselves!
* As many random military or scientific installations dotted around the landscape as may appear possible! Id really love some missile silos or something

Not stupid to me, does he have it and how can you tell? Is it on the first page images?
I have civ4 original. All i know about the expansion is you can name the streets, and there is some kind of mission thingy.

I have both expansions and in the Deluxe Edition you can drive a car, accept missions like drive a firetruck to the fire or drive your mayor's limousine around and stuff, it is so fun and also added Avenues which will help your city more with traffic if you dont want highways.
Do you have Avenues? if so I would like to build those to replace my two roads if possible.

Our cities are way too early for avenues in my opinion. Just warning those that haven't played it before.

That is true, but in my experience of playing, it is always better to build avenues early and prevent spending extra money with demolition of old roads and if some stupid people zoned land on the proposed land for a future avenue then that will double the cost of building avenues. I do it immediatly and in just 10 years I had a popluation of 70k without having to remove roads or upgrade them. I did add one way roads and the like.
But everyone has their own ways of building their cities.

Great...
Hilarious and great stories everyone.
@Daft- Is there a low-quality file format I could use? The last big one was a jpg, as is this.
Here ya go Sheep.
EDIT: Sorry Banana. Your city is doing just great, by the way. Prospering, according to your plans. Sorry for forgetting to mention you.
I'm using deluxe edition, which includes Rush Hour.
It was a bright and sunny day in Blackbanana - at least, it probably was. After all, the choking black smoke covering the whole area seemed ridiculously capable of blocking out any view of the outside world.
Hell, accidents occurred so often that no one bothered to use cars anymore - they just walked into equally sooty factories and worked their arses off for pathetic wages. Why didn't they leave? No one really knows, but any who tried usually ended up dead - or worse, very dead on the crossroads of the settlement, where a massive sign to the sky saying "Blackbanana" stood. Many cars have crashed into the sign because they couldn't see it but it still stood tall, again no one knows why.
Lord Almighty BananaLee sat in his yacht, far upwind from the town which was his. The black smoke which hung around the town could be visible even from several miles away. He saw the smoke, and was content - he was even more content that the apparent Mayor, some fellow named Diggy? Ciggy? Piggy? Something like that - hadn't even *noticed* him and he didn't even get an honourable mention. Nonetheless, it seemed his little area was building up quite nicely.
"Great Lord!" a peon knelt at BananaLee's feet, "the leader of the opposition has been brought to you!"
"Ah, good good. Congratulations Mr. Leader-of-the-Opposition. You've volunteered to become the guinea-pig for a new form of punishment to all industrial dissidents in the area. Have you heard of the term, lobotomy?"
Mr. Opposition (for lack of a better name) just stared. Prior to his arriving at the yacht, he was dragged behind a jet ski from the shore, half drugged up with opium and other random drugs security could conjure.
"No answer, eh? Well, it's supposed to make you less dissident and more compliant. So thanks for your cooperation. Doctor!"
A doc- no, a quack appeared with an ice pick and mallet. It was time to start

I have a question.... Can we "annex" another city into our city? or even conquer them?
You could send a mob into the city to try and take it over (this would not actually happen in the game, it would be a story thing), probably resulting in property destruction and a gaining of control of a few areas.
Question for NESers: Do people want solid borders (which I will landmark in the game) or more gaseous borders, with competing spheres of influence.
I'm leaning towards the former, and I think most of you are too.

@Iggy, do you have any save options for jpeg? In the programs i use, you can set the amount of compression. About 5% would probably half the file size, and you shouldnt see any real distortion in the image, unless you zoomed in close.
But if its only me that's 56k, i dont want to bother you about it.
And can i join with Neo Highlandcow?
