One of the biggest problems in planning and building a city is deciding where the dump goes. I mean, nobody wants to live<\/em> next to the dump. Not even those smog-swilling factories want to be anywhere near it. What’s a mayor to do? Build a city entirely made of dumps, of course, and keep that trash out of our nice neighbourhoods.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Johannesburg\"<\/a>

Like Joburg.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the new SimCity, that’s a thing you can totally do.<\/em> Although it was a feature somewhat unpredictably supported in SimCity 4, the latest game will now let you create regions of up to 16 cities and share services and resources between them.<\/p>\n

According to the press stuff, “With Multi-city play, you no longer need to provide all the required city infrastructures in one city. Build a police station and share your growing police force with the greater region. Have your friend build a fire station in a neighbouring city and soon you\u2019ll see their fire trucks putting out flames in your city. Just like the world around you, neighbouring cities support each other through shared resources.”<\/p>\n

Just imagine the possibilities – if your Slumtopia citizens show any signs of civil discord, you could simply burn the road connecting it to Edutown. No more books and other dangerous intellectual provocation for you<\/em>.<\/p>\n
