Hi all,
I've encountered a curious problem that occurs (seemingly) at random when I "found" a new city.
After I name the city, the mayor mode tab comes up at the bottom like usual, but the RCI demand IMMEDIATELY plummets to -6000 for ALL values R,C, and I, and stays there.
Obviously this would wreck the regional "economy," so I am always careful to check the RCI demand before I construct or save any new city tile. If I exit the tile and re-enter to "found" the city anew, it typically works fine (normal new-city RCI values).
This glitch seems to happen about 1/8 times I start a new city tile.
I have a burgeoning plugins folder with the latest NAM, traffic simulators, etc. and I have been unable to isolate any particular thing causing this glitch.
Anybody else experience something like this?
Well, I do have some cities with a Ressidential demand of -6000. Quite annoying &sly...

Really wrecks the region, doesn't it? &ops
I assume yours didn't start out that way though, correct?
I see this sometimes too. I have CAM installed, but I think it happened before that.
most of the time the demand will come back after a month or so, does it ever happen when you load a city that is already in mayor mode?

Not so far. The first time this happened, the tile was pretty much exclusively for an airport, so I started the city and after a few minutes paused the game without ever thinking about checking the RCI.
I went to play an adjacent city and noticed my demand (previously normal) was absurdly low. Eventually I traced it back to the RCI demand in the tile with the airport, which I had to obliterate in order to restore a normal demand to the region.
