This 'SimCity 4' Region With 107 Million People Took Eight Months of Planning

Posted by Soulskill on from the go-big-or-go-home dept.

Jason Koebler writes: Peter Richie spent eight months planning and building a megacity in vanilla SimCity 4, and the end result is mind-boggling: 107.7 million people living in one massive, sprawling region (video). "Traffic is a nightmare, both above ground and under," Richie said. "The massive amount of subway lines and subway stations are still congested during all times of the day in all neighborhoods of each and every mega-city in the region. The roadways are clogged at all times, but people still persist in trying to use them."

      Soooo... You suggest keeping people or businesses in areas at gunpoint to milk them economically when the denizens of the area become incredibly hostile to them politically and socially?

      Well, yes. That's the Democrat way.
