Yea, you have to think of the region as one large mega-city and each city as specialization centers. You are really managing specializations and import/export. Whereas Cities Skylines is not a city building game, it is a road management and people movement game.

Great bro! When will we have the Free DLC: Big Cities? Very big scenarios with just one insanely large city?

I'v'e JUST bought the beta (Like a Minuit ago literally) And I don't know if you have to activate it manually or if it just automatically activates when you start the game. Because unlike when I bought the airships pack when I started Simcity 5 up there was no need to reboot the launcher and launch Simcity 5 again. Please fix this or tell me if it is manually activated EA!

How to optimize omega production at omega production line?? 2500 being the capacity, it gradually decreases very low. What are the factors affecting this? (There is always sufficient amount of raw materials available in factory)

if you have the limited edition bought do you get the DLC free or do you still need to buy it?

-11,934 an hour from they elite mega tower 3:30 looks like fun ;)

The paradox of this expansion is that the cities of tomorrow (or even today) are by far bigger than the villages you can build in this game. Seems like everything EA touches turns to turd.

do they have casino expansion also?

someone please tell me do people still make mods for this game and does Ea even Work on this game any more i want another dlc with New plop able Mega towers and population options

Everyone wants bigger maps, but SimCity said that at the moment they physically can't do it! This is because the Glass Box Engine (Behind the Game) can't manage it. The would have to re-root everything taking time. It would also mess up all of the regions at current. If they use the money made from DLC's to invest in the game it can't be a bad thing. I know there are a lot of issues and can agree but if people are that bothered the Blog explains all. They are however working on an offline mode.

OMG i've just realized that the low wealth mall in the megatowers plays music from the sims when you hover over it. oh the nostalgia!

Awesome! I can't wait for these to be released! Alredy Pre-ordered it. For bigger maps i would suggest that there is an option were you select what type of map you want. For example- the one we have one is small. One thats is 3 times bigger is medium. And one the is 5 times bigger is large!

How has the engine been unable to deliver?

How many can build Mega Tower in 1 city map

Where/When did they say that?

can this work with SimCity 4 Deluxe?

miss this game...

I can understand a lot of everybody's opinions on the maps sizes and the bigger lot sizes of the MegaTowers, and so on. However, if you guys have watched the other videos of what the hardcore gamers learned: Each MegaTower is capable of holding 10k+ in Sims, depending on how you build them, I see the potential of them holding maybe 30-40k max if you build a MegaTower with nothing but residential blocks and parks, and with the ability to connect each tower to another with the Skybridge

Awesome! This video actually made me want to buy this and get back into SimCity again. :) Great work!

Why I cant choose what my PC can handle and what not?...

Ooh, and also problems with sound, when after meteorite rain I have that sound all following game.

what region is this in

This looks so great I cannot wait to play this expansion pack. I know many you do not like the game without bigger maps and offline mode but when you really play the game like its meant to be played its fun. Sure it has bugs but seriously name one game without bugs nowadays? I think with offline mode coming more mods will certainly follow. This cities of tomorrow is such a different take on simcity it's exciting to me. Maxis THIS LOOKS SO AWESOME I WANT IT NOW!!!!

Nice city, it’s the same one in the trailer for the expansion. Beautiful.

O jogo é bom, mas agora está sem recursos, estou jogando com mods (Sensação de nostalgia bate no peito, isso te enche de determinação!)...

What the heck is wrong with the currently supportable city sizes? I'm a mac user and the maps work fine. It's not even a gaming machine. I'm betting that 75% of players have standard non-gaming rigs. The larger maps are, well, larger, and harder for non-gaming rigs to handle. probably 50% more lag and 95% more complaints, maximum.

i am wondering if there is a maximal limit for mega towers in a city. i hope not. i hope not. i am really looking forward to that Addon

I have some tall like that. its a combo of time and land values. Overtime they get to be very tall as long as you keep everyone happy so they want to expand

1:28 Wait, Do we have those in the Modern Day world?

at some point they will release a DLC for bigger maps which will be very expensive, and they will say "it is expensive because we put a lot of money into the game to allow for bigger cities"- Even though there are mods which allow for city expansion anyway.

Looks awesome we love the work you guys do, but do we get sylvestor stallone and Wesley snipes in this one?

What's there to know about this, "arcology"?

Why would you have an expansion pack at the beginning? That is the whole point of an expansion pack to give you new content and things later on after the game is released.

IF you read the blog about the size of the city.Maxis said they WILL NOT expanded the size of the cites due to the limitation on people's computers.They listened about did research on probable improving the size,but turns out by their research it wasn't a good due to consumers computer limitations and also the cities.It you expanded a city that has traffic problems what makes yo think adding more room to a city will improve that.It is just going to make more traffic problems.

I don't know what is better, bigger maps or offline mode. I have to go with bigger maps.

They're not making bigger maps but instead they're adding more verticality allowing for more usage of the limited space the cities have, appreciate that cuz in a sense they are making cities larger by adding verticality

This latest bug I discovered is causing my gameplay experience to suck. When playing single player, the great work (Arcology) is not showing up in the other cities. I wanted to have one city do the metal and alloy and another city do the TVs. But I can't get my TV city to recognize the arcology. Why are we getting a new expansion on a buggy game?

Now this looks pretty cool. I would love bigger maps but EA/Maxis has already said they won't be doing that because the game would not run smoothly so I guess I'll survive. This expansion looks awesome!

The Omega cities look so much better than then Utopian ones. I'm gonna have a whole region of Blade Runner cities ^_^

They are working on Offline mode. and GlassBox is being altered for bigger maps. they say it will be done by late 2014

Maxis has said that anything that helps the simulation or other core gameplay assets will not be sold as DLC and so far they seem to be following through on that. So offline mode, bigger maps and other potential updates will be free.

Cite your sources, show me what they're really offloading to their DRM servers that is so vital to the gameplay experience yet which can tolerate internet speed latency and which the game can run perfectly fine without if you use the Chinese offline crack?

Well, what Maxis is doing with Simcity Cities of Tomorrow is how the future really will look like actually. In Japan there are already some kind of trains above the floor for example.

I would like to see an military base with add ons be added to the game, figure it would go under the same section as the town hall. Tanks and airplanes from the base could be used to fight the ailens and giant lizzard in damages mode like the cops are used to fight the zoobie attacks.

Maxis said they were considering offline mode. EA has not confirmed mod support, although someone added a section on the forms for mods, probably not EA. Framerate issues that could be caused by large cities could be fixed with optimization. The supposed framerate problem should have been handled before the games released. I mean this is sim city not sim oddly populated village.

Well glad I preorder but this is released this is gonna be the longest week ever waiting for it to come out on Friday because I need it so badly :/

They say they can't do bigger maps because of performance issues (at least, that's what I've seen from their posts). That, however, is a silly prospect. There are mods you can download that allow you to build outside the current city borders. Performance and calculations? Not a problem. It's an artificial limit they're creating and upholding. Loosing them alot of people too. Same thing with offline mode. Swap a file, and boom, you're in offline mode. Hardly that hard to do...

The hight of those towers are more then the width of the citys you can build.

I really want this but the map size kills it for me. I would love to have a huge city with the megatowers. I'll probably pick this up when it goes on sale.

There will never be bigger maps, if you read the last blog, the engine just can't handle it, though what they are thinking about doing is making the cities closer together like it was in SC4 to make it look like actual cities.

Amazing Expansion Pack. Here a good question? Does it comes with Bigger Map Sizes Too...

So when are you going to increase the city size? It seems like it would be fun if only it weren't so incredibly small....

Thx for the Singleplayer that u never whanted to make in this game but its a lil late and the Server Problems are still there -.-

... FYI EA does not alter what Maxis does. they just take the money. And there is a team for bugs, the main game, and City's of tomorrow. also I think your talking about bigger maps and offline mode. Bigger maps can't be done with Glass box. Glass box is being altered for this. (They say late 2014) and offline mode is being worked on.

Any One Else notice the DEV mode. He lit the fusion plant with no controlNET

There seem to be 2 main complains Offline Mode - Being worked on Bigger maps - Likely possible after offline mode The game works almost exactly as advertised with the exception of a couple of bugs that hardly break the game. Anyone who complains about the traffic most likely hasn't played it in months. And before you all inevitably flag this as spam, I'll say the game is not at all perfect, but given the developers have released a free major update every month since release is a damn good start

so the map size remains the same, and a fuck ton of other issue are still present? I am glad I spent that 60 dollars on this game. But the dlc looks pretty cool.

Well as you can see the mega towers seem there attempt to compesate for small towns. I really hope they will make bigger maps.

I really enjoyed your thoughts. Very fluent. Thanks for the tips.

That's why there's city specialization, so you can free up maximum space for cities you want to make look good, and it's more about creativity through problem solving. This SimCity is the most intricate one they've ever made, and I hope people would see it for what it is rather than what it should be, because it will grow and get better if people would support the game more since it's a bran new engine, not as large of course but only because it's the most complex.

The main detail about the game that wasnt covered before release was the map size that's why its such a big fuss.

I will buy this, but I'm still angry about the map size.

This is really awesome, I cant wait to play it!!! Only one thing I want to say is to make bigger maps!

I'm saying it seems likely, because if you know how to play the game, then you would be trying to solve all of the issues and making different multi cities, and there's a ton of ways to do so, and it's fun trying to think of all the ways to deal with the issues. Even the original creator, Will Wright had a tough time playing the game, and he even said it, but he said that's what was fun about the game, being creative through problem solving, being more about quality cities rather than quantity.

Simply allowing mods to exists is far different then support for them. Supporting modding is when you voluntary let players screw around with the game code instead of making them try to figure out a way to break it them selfs. Also, yes they gave us a reason for small cities, but it is still is not a good one. Also, can you link me to the article that states maxis is working on offline mode?

The mega tower reminds me a lot of the old arcologies.

simcity 2013 Steam?

I think, once they allow modding and offline mode, we are going to be delivered BIG ASS MAPS :D, they stated that they ceased work on bigger city maps :D Go big hopes for modding though ^_^

Those tower things will HELP with the small maps, but map size is still a MAJOR problem

in this case they have a lot of optimization work to do. computing power grew several times since SC4,. no reason to not put i7 as a minimum requirement

wow this looks really good !:) such a shame the maps are not big enough to use any of it

And btw I didn't say that they want it easier, I meant that they play sandbox mode, which is easy, and it's very unlikely that the people complaining about bigger maps actually think about ways to deal with all the problems that arise, I mean if you think about it, why would someone want to deal with the same problems on a much larger scale? That would be crazy, so I assume most people who complain about map size just play sandbox mode, since most people cant really keep Sims in their city.

Bigger maps and offline PLEASE

Too bad the region gameplay isn't working.

If it was the only sim city game out there I would still complain about the map sizes. There is just enough space for you to construct the equivalent of a village in real life. It is a city simulator, I'm supposed to be able to rebuild tokyo if I want to.

I dont have a problem with the map limitations, thats why they give us multiple places to build cities. Would you rather have 6 cities of current size or 1 city with slightly larger size.

wow, thx, I've been looking everywere for this.

also some computers couldn't handle it. servers take off some of the load through clouding data.

you can put malls and other offices, and utilities in another tower, and all the sims just walk from one tower to the other...and yes they may be bigger in lot sizes, but you can fit more vertically rather than on flat land, and you can build as many towers as you want in the city, so if you want 1 city to have nothing but MegaTowers, then you can do it once you have the roads the way you want them and have atleast 50k sims the city before you start building the towers in order to pay for them
