hi guys it's me again.. i am back not with million questions as i always do, this time it's just two.

it seems that everytime i build an airport or a seaport, i always make it overcrowded and then the advicor will say that i should expand it but the effectiveness of the airport or seaport is still very low. should i then create two airports in a medium or large city? do these two even help my city's growth?

second question is related with the first question. eventhough my airports and seaports are overconstrained, i don't see any ships or airplanes moving around.. not even in regional overview.. did i do something wrong or is it just my system is messed-up?

well.. i appreaciate you answers. sorry in advance if these two had been asked before. possibly you can send me a link on where to see the answers.

danke, dankje, thanks, mercy, xiexie ni, terima kasih, grazie, gracias, ありがとう, obrigado, 너를 감사하십시요

I dont think seaports help at all it should be better too just have a good rail system. When ever i build a seaport I keep having to build more and more so i just dont build any now!

Maybe your graphic settings (for the game) are all on low. You can change them under the options menu when in region view.

The cities size, ability to pay for it, and need for commercial growth. (Airports stimulate commercial growth in cities that don't have super-negative commercial demand)
