Is there enough TILE in this video?
yes
probably
Over 15,000,000 is ok
Hmm.
NO
I had no idea that the history of the Netherlands was so fascinating
Finally the comment I was looking for.
Did everyone died 3 times tho? 🤔
Yeah, but the part about the tsunami that separated the region from Britain was left out for some reason.
HAHA as a Dutch person this had me crying 🤣
It's all fun and games until we eat our prime minister again.
This gives off the same vibe as Monty Python
“When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.”
It's giving Monty Python
"But.... I dooooon't waaaant iiiitttt". ahahahaha.
I guess you can say that the previous castles did not float on the swamp water like a duck floats on water.
What a silly man, he should have built one really tall castle with no windows/doors on the lower levela, then it would have sank and he would have had one castle with several basements.
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5reported for spam. It’s still spam even if it’s for Jesus.
This man's dedication to not building a fire station is incredible.
For a moment while watching the video, AA made me believe the devs just forgot to add a fire station to the game
The SimCity 3000 soundtrack is a true gem, which got me into jazz
What a classic game... Many a fond memory simply watching the city bustle about to the background soundtrack...
Indeed, I think it's a shame how often it's overlooked in favor to Simcity 4. Simcity 3000 is a good game, acting as a bridge between 2000 and 4. @@mike6252
just like me fr fr...
Same! 🤩
YESSS
There's a little glitch you can use to get more money. If at the very last day of each month you max the taxes, you get maximum revenue the next day before it get the people angry and just lower it back to zero after you got the money XD
This is brilliant
this works for "Constructor (1997)"
Used to do this all the time - was my favorite way to cheese the system back in the day!
SimThemePark had the same cheese strat with the Giant Puzzle sideshow. Wait for a peep to start playing, crank the fee to $10,000 simoleons, they pay once the game _ends_ (and immediately leave the park with more debt than my credit card has), then use the Apply-to-All button on an untampered Giant Puzzle to quickly reset the play fee before the next sucker walks up. 50 GOTO 10 until you hit a buhmillion in the bank. You could do this from day one in the Halloween theme since it started with Giant Puzzle unlocked, and could research it for Lost World and Space. Sadly, this wasn't possible in the Wonder Land theme because of the lack of Giant Puzzle sideshow, you had to play that park legit... and later patches capped all attractions to a max fee of $500.
Sounds like Graystillplays to me lol
The toxic plant probably didn’t pay because you didn’t supply it water.
Wonder where they could have gotten water.
@@HumanPerson_final Salt water though, blech.
Oops
Before reading your comment: I was on AA's side.
After reading your comment: I was on the toxic plant's side.
Who tf doesn't supply people with water? Even cartel members supply their soldiers with water!
@@rprince418 Yeah, you only really need to supply most civic services once you start zoning higher densities. AA's citizens all have their own wells, I guess
Honestly, the "high-res pixel sprites" of SC3k just hit different compared to 2000 and 4. Definitely one of my favorites.
SC3k is still my favorite. Ok it laks the depth of SC4 but it looks so refreshing.
UAE simulator. Dirt in ocean strategy
lolol
secret location of next PDXCon?
Nah he’s just a part of team magma
Japan, China, and im sure there are other countries doing this too.
@@mechwarrior13someday Florida’ll be its own country
Everyone: "It's a vast ocean. Why would you try building a city here?"
Ambiguous Amphibian: "It's free real estate."
Used to play Sim City 3000 on my POS Pentium 2 computer in my basement. It was so bad it could only BARELY play Sim City 3000. Whenever I'd start up the game it would hitch and sit there repeating the same 1 second loop of a saxophone for what felt like 1 min straight. I love thinking about that because in this day if I'm sitting for even 30 sec waiting on something to load I'm already starting to get annoyed but man when you're a child and that's one of the few video games you have you have all the patience in the world.
And then you'd realize how much you suck at the game so you enter in the "Call Cousin Vinny" cheat to get like 100,000 simolians and them put the White House and the Empire State Building next to each other and let a tornado hit them.
Classic ass fun. Plus I really love the soundtrack. Those jazzy saxophones are just beautiful!
Cant afford fire dept, but somehow has a standing army of demolitionists ready to destroy houses at a moment's notice
It just wouldn't be an AA video without hearing that Neon East song from Urbz at least once. It's his official theme song at this point.
“The end.” Killed me. I’m imaging you telling this story to a horrified child.
I saw this comment before watching and imagining this scenario is making watching the video so much more enjoyable, thank you
Individual man-made islands creating a self-sustaining city and a narrow corridor linking them to shore -- you've created a modern Tenochtitlan
And the city ended up much like Mexico City nearly 500 yesrs later
This game is insane. How are you supposed to build a serious city with so many threats to mankind?
The same way [insert Californian city] is still standing
Sim UA-camrs: Refuse to build fire alarms.
Sim City UA-camrs: Refuse to build fire stations.
Imagine living in the third city.
Suddenly your house catch fire only few seconds later to remember that there aren't fire station as your house is demolish before bruns down.
The rent was cheap though.
As an '83 OG millenial the "awkward middle child" is actually my favorite. SimCity 4 might have much better economy, insane modding support and overall be considered "the best" but the region system is still too limiting imo. It runs awkward, it is clunky. And as charming as the genius second child of Will Right's master planning alter-ego is... 3000 improves upon it in every technical aspect.
It might not be unique, or daring, in fact it very well might be a prototype of Maxis' 4th Symphony, but SimCity 3000 shows a glimpse of an even better future, marred by limitations of its time and ultimately never realized.
The region system of simcity 4 could've been better if it wasn't just some schizophrenic "make deals with yourself lmao"
SimCity 3000 was really the pinnacle of the 2000 formula, focused up all the weird parts, made it less finicky, definitely my preferred 'pure grid' builder. Also for some reason, SimCity3000 does way better on modern machines without any compatibility issues.
SimCity 4 is better in basically every regard though.
Because 3000 was made for 32-bit Windows which is still being kept compatible on 64-bit and DirectX had existed for a few years at that point. 2000 was made for 16-bit DOS and that compatibility was dropped for 64-bit.
I actually thought recently about the beauty of SimCity, how it was made in assembly, and the beauty of its game engine.
What a great game it is
Whenever AA says “housing, commercial, and industrial” I get a little closer to inner peace
This video perfectly encapsulates why I play all city builders with random disasters off lol
Always surprised to hear about games I grew up with. Had no idea sim city 3000 was the oddball of them, got it one Christmas is a case with sim golf and sim tycoon and sim rollercoaster. I played sim golf most but had fun doing the natural disasters on my sisters city's in sim city 3000.
Soundtrack is great and I always played the 1900s start.
Love the Urbz soundtrack starting at 8m30, truely a gem
What a game
oh man SC300 was what got me into city builders as a kid, so many memories
"For the greater good !"
"The greater good !"
always loved the look of this game, the buildings are all so meticulous and everything has something going on
Honestly some of the things I miss from these games in cities skylines 1 and 2 are the bizzare stuff that happens like ufo attacks or godzilla or a meteor in the middle of your city or random cities paying you to dump their trash and waste, wish cs 1 and 2 had stuff like this, that's some of the very few things simcity 5 did well... it maintained some of this funny and bizzare events
Same with the sims 4, sims 1 2 and 3 had so many more bizzare and funny unrealistic things for no reason other than to be entertaining but not so much in sims 4
Simcity 3000 will always be my favorite installment. The music and atmosphere is just perfect imo.
This was amazing. I've never been entertained by a City builder gameplay much like this. Usually I just watch it to relax or have it on the background but THIS! THIS VIDEO! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! Waiting for what came next....
I also forgot how much fun Simcity 3000 with all these disasters and missions....some a lot of modern city builders are lacking. I think I'm gonna buy it again and play it.
You know, a small island surrounded by water would make a fine city if you just think ahead and only populate it with amphibians. Ambiguous ones.
Like Timberborn, but with Amphibians instead of Beavers
This was the Sim City I grew up with, thank you for covering it :)
Remember, call cousin vinnie
That was my first game ever. That was the game that allowed me to find AA channel. Only good vibes, waiting for VOD.
Sim city 3000 has lots of features I wish stuck around, if demand is low vacant lots appear with junk or wrecked cars instead of just showing as a zoned area, properties don't require a direct road connection. I'm surprised things like that didn't make it into sim city 4
The toxic wasteplant needs a water connection as well before payout is started! Childhood memories.
If I recall correctly, even if you don't have fire stations, you get one fire responder for free - from a neighboring city.
And in SimCity 3000, to raise a soft cap for population (which you encountered at 85k), I believe one needed to place certain buildings such as parks and hospitals.
Also power can be transmitted over a few tiles without those power lines, so you could do without them in your wind turbine farm.
And one more thing, you could use water towers for water, those can be placed anywhere and don't require fresh water.
always a good day when I see AA posting a video :D (no joke I actually fell asleep last night to your project zomboid content, you're so soothing)
The aliens that kept attacking were the Harmivores from Spore that escaped their game and are hell bent on conquering other EA properties
A few things:
-Build 4 of the dirtiest factory in each corner of the map
-Horizontally the largest building in each sector, then create a 1-tile moat around that, with a 1-tile bridge onto the closest main road. Repeat that pattern for that sector, with no more than 3 ways per junction.
-Remember that people physically cannot leave the island, and thus, are entirely at your mercy.
Can’t wait to see you in 2189!
This game is pure gem. Spent so many hours creating huge cities in it
Alien invasion of 2026 sounds like something news would write about
ahh simcity 3000 my first strategy game I ever played :)
"The alien invasion of 2026" seems prophetic
I was a big fan of simcity 3000. For me it was the last game in the series before it went to crap. And then Cities Skylines saved us all.
Also, you need to supply water to those money generator buildings for them to pay you!
I like how the second city would've worked if greed and corruption hadn't won out.
I guess 2011 really was destined to have a hell of a lot of tornados break out, even in sims 3000 lol 4:14
Hmm, I never realized The Sims games connect, seeing certain names like Landgraab took me by surprise.
*Sees a waterspout* "Water Tornado"
Man's playing like it's Dubai
Who would've thought that a bunch of islands would work well together?
As much as I loved 2000 and 4, SimCity 3000 will always be my favourite.
SC3K was my childhood, I'm happy to see content about it.
thank you for the constant flow of amazing content AA
cant wait for the wizard plush :)
You might have just inspired me to try this myself. It is something I never thought of doing years ago. ahahaha.
Crazy thing is that toxic clouds and acid rain was a thing in 70s-00s
Woke up at 4am to this
That Sims 3 soundtrack 👌
OMG AA I think this is one of your best ones yet. I might be a bit of a fangirl, but I loved all the twists you added to the storytelling. You have a great way of showcasing Maxis games and all their goofy glory
Oh man that music takes me back!
Ignore this its just so the algorithm recommends it more
OK I'll ignore this
This was pretty much what 2001 was like
Simcity 300 is the best one by far. Brilliant design
10:58 Sounds exactly like the country I live in 🤣
Another master piece!
God help you if you ever find yourself living in a town with Mayor AmbiguousAmphibian.
You did not create an outside road connection. You just built a road to the edge.
For me, SimCity 3000 is the best of the franchise
yes it is
Homie says "Innocuously" like 4 times this video lol.
Thank you for making this, it really made me smile :)
I remember the day of January 1st, 2000. It was an incredible day of city construction all across the world, new cities just spring into being out of nothingness all at once. It was truly a miraculous sight to behold.
3000 is the best. Used to play this all the time back in high school.
Still have a copy of it from gog so I could keep playing it in this now digital world.
Damn that song at 09:50 hit me harder than I wanted. Those feels...
I genuinely thought by the year 2040 aa would build a damn fire department lol
SC3kU holds a very special place in my heart. I had a non-trivial percentage of my life invested in that game back when I was 12.
I had the official game guide. It was a literal book that was over an inch thick.
holy shit that lil snippet of Freelancer ost....... 🥺
I have to admit, once the iconic SimCity 3000 main menu music kicked in, I kinda zoned out from AA's narration and just vibed. Sorry!
I am a bit amused at land bridges for power lines, because you could build power lines over water in this game, a bit fiddly to do, but you can.
Nothing saves you from a panic attack like a new upload... thank you.
Ufos in sc2k would turn random buildings into wind turbines
you should make a video where you can only have small islands no land bridges only full bridges an maybe have the islands only like 6x6 or so max no bigger then a coal plant
Oh my god I'm old. I remember playing this new day one. I purchased it day one at a grocery store. shit was different back then
lol he never built a way to deal with garbage at the end so that metropolis was buried under piles of trash
Alien attack in 2026?
Sounds about right.
For any deals with your neighbors to pay out (like toxic waste plant) I believe you actually need to connect a road from the town to the side of the map, because they need a way to get their waste to you. I think it might be possible for it to ship by boat but I believe you would need a harbor or something. Loved this game 25 years ago or whenever it came out
"An unexpected toxic cloud appeared" - So I see the same political party was in government when the cloud appears as the one who created the power plant in the first place... lol
Simcity annual challenge: How far can AA get by the current year?
Why does hearing Sims 3 music in a SimCity game feel so surreal?
Edit: Also, remember when Sims 3 music rights was sold to every single media industry in existence? Yes, you weren't going crazy, you really did hear Sims 3 music everywhere :D
Thanks for another wonderful video!!!
Simcity 3000 is so goated because it’s not insanely hard like 2000 or complex like 4
I should play it more
Ignoring meteor showers, floods and tornados until 2070 you say? That sounds like our current world leaders.
5:58 yo, 2026 gonna be lit guys
Edit: Nah, not in 2028 too
Congratulations, you built Lelystad!
seeing those UFOs made me wish we had another XCOM game...
nature documentary narrating career start when?
I remember the toxic poop cloud disaster of 2011
The letting the game run for hours doing nothing at all brought back memories of my time in SimCIty 2k. I'd do that to pave the entire city with Arcologies.
Bruh SimCity 3000 Unlimited is my childhood
My first sims game oddly enough lmao
this is indeed island
