Region Play Strategies

[Lowkee33]

Hi all,

I am playing a game in the style of nature growth.  There are a couple farms in the center of the region.  T here are people in only one city.  An idea was that more people would move in if a road was made to the edge of the region (for style purposes, not demand).  So workers started building.  It took a few months but now they have made a neighbor connection.

My question is about the date.  In reality the neighboring city should have the same date, so in the game I am fast forwarding through time to make the dates the same.

What issues does this raise?  I know that the demand of a city uses the neighboring cities pop. as if those cities had grown 15%(I believe 15%).  Does anyone care about matching the dates up in their regions, or is this just me going to far?

Another question I have is about stage limits.  I know the population required for med-density buildings in a city.  I have heard that this is a region wide count, but I can't get any city to have, say, only one apartment building.  How does region wide stage limits work?

Thanks
