Its amazing!!! Go Arabs, build the worlds future

[mikhasya1976]

Amazing but this paradise only for rich people, so its not a solution, cause we need to take care about all civilization.

check out the venus project.

@carlsm95 Also.. obviously the project would be built by various contractors from around the world, so it really is just about the money. And self sufficient as it may be, the resources to build such a city from scratch probably outweigh the resources of a comparable city over a few decades. The project is also irreplicable anywhere where there isn't straight sunshine and 40 degrees Celsius all the time. Not to say it doesn't look amazing, but I'm very doubtful about the feasibility.

The reason the Arabs can build this is 1) they have billions of dollars of oil money. What are they gonna do when oil stops being the worlds #1 source of fuel? and 2) most of the desert is uninhabited meaning you can build practically anything you want. It's still an amazing city though. I want to see something like this in the West, preferably the US.

Do you finally get your lightsaber right away in this one, or do you have to wait till halfway through the game again?

@mikhasya1976 "Cars are only for the rich, we need to take care about all civilization" "iPads are only for the rich, we need to take care about all civilization" "[insert any great idea that was only first affordable by the rich] are only for the rich, we need to take care about all civilization"... it's BS. The rich get the worst version of a product and pay the highest cost for it (think 80s brick cell phones). The world reaps the benefits of the wealthy's disposable income.
