With the talk of SC5 atm it got me wanting to retry the old game sc4. I was never any good or like to spend a lot of time in it as its a lot of work but i have had a go today and got to this so far. Bout 4-5 hrs so far.
I never did well but had a read of the noob guide well a bit of it i didnt read a lot of it just to the bit where u adjust rates to keep costs down and not build commercial and stuff. Tho i have built commercial atm as needed it. 30k sims in my city, im making a profit. Demand is up for everything so saved it as tired now as just got done playing for today. Will expand it tomorrow.
Duno how to improve the roads without causing a lot of demolition tbh or what type of roads i need. Nothing is showing as red yet except 1 or 2 small squares but on the whole its green and healthy. Wondering if i need streets now or if best to convert em to roads now. Etc.
Playing on hard. Bot right of global map tile.
SC4 deluxe with Nam mod on, latest version i think jan 2012. Using commandline for window mode, single core, no intro, and LAA patched exe for to allow more ram usage oh and 1080p res in command line.
Anyone else either never really got into it but have tried it out due to sc5 talk recently or just blowing the cobwebs off for the skilled players and are having a bit of a play recently?
I would like to see other peoples cities that are new ones and learning to compare with. Prefer not to see fully developed cities as even tho they look nice it will just bum me out knowing i probs can never plan such a city.
But i would love to see noobies playing and seeing how their starting cities are that are a bit like mine atm.
