SimCity 4 regional play

Archived from groups: alt.games.simcity (More info?)

Ahoy all,

Just a quick query. I have an enormous map of the Auckland region at home
(although I would say this applies to any regional map). Is it possible for
me to setup just one area to do power, water and rubbish, and have the whole
region get its power and water and have its rubbish taken to there? Or do I
need to setup a new power station every 2 cities over?

Thanks,

Jason

Cheers Mike, that works perfectly! Now I can do it for the water supply as
well

One other question; would the same thing work for the waste disposal, I
wonder? Or no? That would mean transporting it across the entire city, in
that case...
