Yeah, I always played with disasters turned off too. Y'know, you build up an epic city, save it, and THEN set the giant robot loose on it. More and more Sim City 5 or "Sim City" is sounding like a game I don't wanna play.

Yeah. I absolutely love having a tornado, zombie invasion, tornado back to back. That was fun. Also when an earthquake destroyed my industry crippling my budget (lost about $500k from repairs and possible sales).

Trying to keep a balanced budget is tough once the city goes up to high density.

It's interesting that disasters aren't necessarily completely negative. The giant trash-eating lizard, for instance, will clear out your garbage dumps. Sure, he might break a few houses on the way in, but no more trash piles. Or the meteors have a chance to bring ore to your city.

"I always found the odd earthquake or alien invasion just too random since these are not common where I live, specially the alien invasions."

There's an XCOM joke in there somewhere

[url=#user_comment_261376]@Marads[/url] No, its because this joke is easily understandable even if you don't play simcity (like me).

Maybe natural disasters are not common in Brazil but the human element is. Enjoy everything costing 10x more because 90% of the money goes to some douche pocket

Alien invasions are uncommon in Jo's area because there's no ass to probe.

I approve of this strip so so much.

In other news - Jo, you should do a strip about Civitas! Apparently a group of fed-up devs want to show EA what a modern city builder free of corporate fuckduggery looks like.

A dirty trick I read about: Make lots of power plant/nuclear plants. Starts seeling energy. Turn off power plants. Watch neighbor cities shutting down.

About disaster

We build simcity, we build simcity on rock and roll.

Sim City 4 is still the best. The only automatic disaster was fire, and that was fair.

Well it could be worse, like "visiting" and leaving a desaster XD But yeah, I'd go with private regions to avoid ghost towns and trolls.

what, trolling? in a multi-player game from EA? I'm just waiting for all the penis shaped city layouts to start popping up on the internet.

[url=#user_comment_261302]@Zera[/url] I'm pretty sure you can, if the winds are blowing in a certain direction (I.E your city) Atleast I think you can; I know for certain that it can happen in your specific city..

Loads of fun. Maybe then so many would rage they would understand Sim City was never meant to jump the "multiplayer" bandwagon.
