On Friday Maxis hosted a Reddit Ask Me Almost Anything (AMAA) in which they replied to a lot of user comments.

1) What new feature in this Simcity that wasn’t in the previous iterations are you most excited for (besides the paint-brush like roads)?

For me, it’s not so much a specific new feature, but all of the things that follow from a fundamental reworking of the simulation (basing it on roads, agents and units, rather than grid-cells). For example, having sims walking about and seeing what they need, where they came from and where they’re going. Also, looking at a specific buildings and seeing what it’s doing at that moment. Creating systems that work together.

I’m also really happy with the visuals, and the way that the visuals represent what’s going on with the simulation.

2) Is there a feature that was in the previous Simcitys but isn’t in this one that you miss?
