I'm up to 4 cities, the best being at 180,000 pop
Your cities are still small potatoes compared to the ones I'm managing. I don't mean to brag, but you'll start noticing the serious problems with the game once you get bigger cities. For example, my city "Plains of Garn" is at "330K" population (down from over 400K after two disasters) with several trade ports, processor factories, TV factories, and smelting factory. I have the ability to roll in the cash from these industry. But all of this requires space that I can't afford to use up with utilities so......
....I had to make a 2nd city ("WorkHorse") in the same region to try and supply utilities to my main city. Right now it is has excesses of 770MW of power, 1050 kgal/hr of water, 370kgal/hr sewage all with a population of 5K people.
My second slave city has plenty of utilities to supply my main city so I figured I could shut down my main city's water/power/sewage plants to better utilize the space and just buy it from my slave city.....or so that was the plan. It turns out that my main city is only able to see a fraction of the available resources of the slave even after hours of real time waiting for the region to sync up.
Even then, my main city will only use a fraction of the slave resources that are available.....all the while my main city is complaining that that there isn't enough power/water/sewage.
I even have large coal mine that is shut down because of a lack of water even though the data map clearly shows that it is getting water.....WTF!
And lets not even get into my other issue of radiation after a nuclear reactor decided to blow up all because the sims working there went from highly educated to retarded for no reason and after the explosion they were highly educated again.
