My Housing Disappeared!
You've blocked the road to Rome. Immigrants must be able to get from the map entry point to your housing. If you block this somehow (deleting a key bridge, surrounding the city with walls or aqueducts, closing off a subdivision with a building), all of the surrounded or cut off houses will vanish. Immigrants must have a path (road,garden, or empty land) from the map entry point to the houses. For more information, read Angel Draco's Printer-friendly FAQ's.
Cool movies, but is there an easier way to view them?

There is a program called "Smacker Player" (No, I am not making that one up, either ) All the movie extensions are .SMK

The web site for the player is: http://www.radgametools.com/smkdown.htm
