Well For One I Play Sim City Ever Since The First Release And The Recent One With Origin Secondly I Had Awesome Planning Professors Ar Clemente And Ar Noche Who Taught Me The Basics Of A Good City The Look Is Almost The Same But The Mechanics And The Technicalities Are Different The Game Center Version Is A Time Based Game This Basically Means That The Game Earns Money If You Don T Know How To Be Patient Yes Downloading It Is Free But You Can Win It Without Cheats The Developers Short Term Strategy For Dealing With That Hard Limit Is Disaster Challenges Before These Challenges Can Be Undertaken The Player Mush Reach 90 000 Population Spend A Large Amount Of Coins And Wait For A Timer To Complete Then To Activate A Challenge The Player Must Collect Items In A Method Similar To Expansion Items You Have An Amazing Opportunity To Create A Global City With Skyscrapers Where You Will See Beautiful City Skylines Or You Can Choose To Build A Small Quiet Township With Vegetables And Fruit Farms Little Cottages Walking Parks And A Zoo So If The Player Is Constrained On Building Out Then She S Naturally Going To Focus All Her Efforts On Building Up To Avoid Spending Hard Earned Coins On Service Buildings Well Simcity S Developers Thought Of This And Added Another Pushback Mechanism Traffic To Combat This Exact Strategy As The Player Places More High Population Buildings Along The Same Road That Road S Traffic Becomes More And More Congested And The Citizen S Will Complain Specializations In Simcity Are Really Not That Different From The Area Effect Service Buildings Described Above The Player Must Spend A Large Amount Of Coins 40 000 Or More To Purchase A Department Of Specialization Building Which Unlocks The Right To Purchase Other Buildings In The Category The High Price Suggests That These Buildings Are Meant To Be Aspirational Because Managing Pushback While Obtaining The Necessary Coins To Purchase These Buildings Can Take A Long Time Despite This The First Of The Specializations Transportation And Education Unlock Very Early In The Game S Progression This Seems Like An Odd Choice As It Adds Yet Another Thing For The Player To Be Thinking About When Soft Currency Tuning Is At Its Tightest
