I have a question will their be water in the game, because so far except in concept art I haven't seen any oceans or rivers. But I love what I have seen so far in the game and I am excited for its release.

I wanted to know if they would keep the "make historical" option on each building. Since there is no zoning level, eventually, your entire map is going to become a pile of skyscrapers, right? So I'm hoping we can make buildings historical so that we can keep the buildings we want.

I have a few question,first off will roundabouts be featured in the game?
And will you still be able to micromanage civic buildings more than just turn them on/off?

Love the game so far, looks amazing

What will the loading time be when switching cities in a region you control entirely? Can you complete Great Works using only cities you control yourself? Do great works have 'plopables' we can out in out cities or in the space between cities? What will the gameplay be like if you run a region on your own?

What level of multiplayer is SimCity? Can you see neighbouring cities whilst playing your own? Is it live? What happens when someone makes a connection to your city whilst your playing?

How many regions will there be? How many cities in each region will there be? What is the maximum and minimum size of cities?

Does the world market have limited resources? If so what will that mean on release day? If everyone buys coal from the World Market will coal run out entirely? If the World Market has unlimited resources how does selling to it affect the price of the commodity?

Can we drive around the cities? Is there a slider to vary the extent of tilt-shift as I like tilt-shift but not as much as I've seen in some screenshots? Can we import houses made in the sims 3 into simcity?

Will there be AI cities so that we can play on our own but not control all the cities in a region? What happens in multiplayer if you're trying to make a really good city but the other player is messing about trying to make the most polluting region he can? Will there be ways to kick players out? Will there be groups so you can say if you're playing seriously or just for fun? Are there quick start regions with some prebuilt cities?

What happens to cities when we're not playing the game? Do they stay as we left them or will the have changed? Does this depend on whether you play a region on your own on with another player?

Can we make inter-region connections? I'd like to build up several egions and make trades between them.

That's all I can think of for now. I hope some of them can be answered!

will there be overpasses, oneway roads?

Will the metro in the game?

Must we play with only one region, or can we play with, for example, five regions (not simultaneously) in the same PC?

How many tram and bus lines can we do?

How many stations can a bus or tram line have got?

Is it possible to know what's the life expentancy or the IQ in my city/region like in SimCity 4?

Very important: why there's not Spanish buildings? We have a lot of very beautiful buildings here in Spain! Europe is not only a tower with a clock or a strange tower with four legs! lol

Will be there modern tramways, buses ans trains? (with modern I say: like in Spain)

Can we pay to schools,hospitals,... like in SC4? (choosing the maximum number of students, patients...)

Can we select the number and color of the bus and tram lines?

Will be posters in game in English or in Simlish?

Can we choose the name of our regions?

Can we create new regions, or it will be always the same regions?

Will be any city built?

SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH

It's all. Thank you

Will the missions from simcity 4 return where you need to frive certain vehicles and accomplish certain tasks? I wasn't too fond of them in the last game but it'd be cool in this game because of the 3D camera views. I feel like you could make these kinds of missions first person and that would really make my city feel super real

I'm very excited about the gameplay on its way!

One quick question: although I like the move towards more info graphic methods of displaying data, will graphs and charts make an appearance in the game? I think they can be very useful tools for examining historical progressions in one's city. Also, they're just fun to look at!

Great work, guys and gals! I've been mayoring since before I knew how to spell, so needless to say, I'm stoked!

Maxis i'm super excited about the new Sim City. I think you guys have done a great job making the game your own while keeping the flavor of the original.

I'm curious though. Where will great works be in relation to my city? Obviously i can somehow build connecting highways to them as you mention it in your blog, but are they going to ambiguously "exist" in the region? Will their be a section in each region dedicated to great works that's placed in a central location? Or will their be a "host" city, which would probably be the one that initiated the work.

Question: Do you plan to make a sandbox mode and/or money cheats for those who do not want all the financial stress?

Will players need to place power cables in their cities?

How will the single player and multi player parts of the game going to be separated or fused? Will players be able to play without an internet connection after they have their game installed?

Now that the game is finally being shown, you guys must have finalised the city size, Could you please share with us the size of the city? can we create large sized cities (if we have high end PCs?)
I'm ready to buy a new PC for the sake of the game, I will reduce the display quality if I have to but I ( & many others) need large maps. Hope you answer this...

Where are the highways/interstates with off/on ramps

You previously stated that we do not directly control zoning density as in previous SimCity games. Are we able to restrict higher density if we choose? For example, if there's an area with high traffic and larger roads present but we don't want medium or high density to develop, can we somehow prevent that?

How much customisation is there in designing our own unique parks for our cities?

Just a couple more questions: can we perform a 'census' on our city - for example by dividing areas of the city into districts and determining which district is most populous, dense, wealthy etc, and can we name our districts and streets and parks and whatnot?

online-only, smaller maps, huge spaces between the cities in the region, no subways, inability to terraform, inability to make your own regional connections...you want to explain why you are doing all of these things that everyone is complaining about? I bet you talk about curvy roads a lot...

Question for live broadcast:

When can we play it ourself? (BETA) :-)

Will you be able to randomly generate terrain for your region, like in Simcity 3000?

Will their be highways in the game? If yes, will their be highway interchanges? And my last question, will there be subways in the game?

Will there be expansions/add-on packs to cater for extra features (such as subways or a larger map, for example) that you feel there is a demand for?

Can you hurry with the beta (and ensure I get to play!), please?

What happens with that pesky extra triangular space left over when putting a square building into a triangular hole (block); Is there a plopable that can be placed there, like a park, or hot dog stand, or something?

1) In regard to agents/sims and mass transit: how do busses and trams determine their destination? Are the routes pre-defined, such as by the player? If not, what if agents on board have destinations in different parts of town; how do the busses/trams prioritize their destinations and routes? Do they attempt to reroute if an accident blocks their path?

2) Can we expect more tilesets in the future? Might we pick and choose our loaded tilesets so that we could, say, have a city comprised exlusively of traditional Japanese shoin-zukuri style and ultramodern Dubai structures?

3) Will larger (3*3+km) city tiles be available? Might there be a way to 'expand' the default 2*2 tile aside from linking to other cities?

4) Will the game feature agriculture, either as a zone or a resource?

5) I'm a suburban planner at heart; I love trams, but don't want a city that relies heavily on avenues/bigger roads. Can we build tram stations independant of avenues?

6) How extreme of map features can we expect? I picture cities built on massive cliff ridges, tiny island towns, cities at the bottom of craters, etc!
