Sadistic city designs

[SirCrocodile]

Sadistically inclined players, how will you make your city a miserable slum?

Toll roads everywhere. You want to cross the street, that'll be 50p. You want to go a mile down the road, that'll be a fiver.

You want to go to a park, you'll have to pay for it.

Forget emissions regulations, no public transport at all.

Ban all the fun things. No cinemas, theatres, art galleries, or museums. In fact, all cultural spending set to 0.

I'll make something that already exists where I live.

Speed bumps.
On highways.
Every 40 meters.

And no road maintenance.

 

[TotalyMoo]

Lots of ins, very few outs, add a bit of industry and watch the traffic clog up and turn the city into an infinite churn filled with smog.

Oh Moo... you always struck me as such a nice kind person... You have an evil streak!

 

[TotalyMoo]

Oh Moo... you always struck me as such a nice kind person... You have an evil streak!

Oh you, thanks! Had you seen how I play games like sims... or any simulator game to be honest, I'm not sure how nice you would perceive me as

Nothing better than making virtual people suffer!

Muahahahahaha..ha....ha

All-roundabout road system.

All-roundabout road system.

Sooo... Spain?

 

[Zarine]

All-roundabout road system.

roundabouts are nice...

What is evil is "magic roundeabout" like this one:

I know roundabout and I'm not even sure I know how to handle this one.

And the display doesn't really help:

 

[RedRalphWiggum]

Sooo... Spain?

Or Ireland, yes

 

[SlyEcho]

The Magic roundabout doesn't even compare to some of the monstrosities I've built in CiM2.

I'll put a screenshot later when I get home.

 

[Victor Cortez]

Roundabouts are good.

 

[Alex_brunius]

Roundabouts are good.

Well yes... until you employ them without right of way signs so that the vehicles entering them always have priority and more vehicles will enter then be able to leave it...
( actually done in some countries where planners are more worried with doing what everyone else is doing instead of bothering to understand why ).

That's a nightmare! Have you seen this video of an Ethiopian intersection?

Can you tell me which city this is, so I plan not to go here ?

OK, here it is, the Spiralabout:

I haven't played CiM 2, but I've had my fair share of evil cities with the present king of all city-building games - Simcity 4.

I had one where there was a slum with just a fire station (to keep the slum buildings from getting burned, and turning it into a better 'blank' area for rebuilding). All roads through the city passed from it. And after reaching it, you either had to go through 20 toll gates or go back to the slum zone to get back to the real city.

There was also a dirt road that connected the city to the factory area, the primary source of job. Only buses were allowed on it. It went into a close zig-zag track and it took 9 hours to reach the factory zone from the Sims' homes. Some Sims left the city, so I built

The neighbouring town also had factory area, garbage dump built right in the center of residential zone with no trees or parks in sight. Only polluted water was allowed to be distributed. And then there was a radioactive waste dump not too far away (just enough to prevent the Sims from leaving).

I also sometimes unleashed cyclones and storms on the townspeople to show them that I am the true master and god they have, and they better obey me, although it resulted in heavy destruction of homes and people emigrating away.

That was back in 2013 though. I no longer have that city, or that entire region.

 

[charlesnew]

Wow, I don't even know how you managed to get people to live there in the first place!

 

[Langolier]

20 lane 200km/h highways which merge into 1 lane

 

[sermaciej]

Rivers of poop. That's the best (so the worst) idea for sadistic city.
