I got hooked to Pontifex two days ago and now I got kinda stucked at complex level 11.
After many many tries I beat that level on hard with 0 broken links, but my bridge is a little "weird".
It has to swing in place first, because you can't build the deck at ground level.
Can someone give me a general help how to solve this level, because I want to know, if my solution is ok, or if my brain is as weird as my bridge !
O, BTW, can somebody show my how to build arcs ?
90% of my bridges are suspension bridges, but I want to build some nice arcs (ok, I'm building them right now, but immediatly after hitting TEST, all my work is crumbling down)
Some hints and tips for a newbie would be nice !
Martin.
Now I know the difference between a suspension bridge and a cable stayed bridge, but in the end nobody gave me a hint, how such a "weird" bridge can look like.
I also tried some sort of "falling in place", but my cables arent strong enough to stand the stress and broke.
But nevertheless, thank you baggio ! Now I know that this level need something strange to be completed !
Bye,
Martin.

Martin.I just want to clarify... when people are saying suspension bridges, they really mean cable stayed, right? Secondly, I had to build a "weird" bridge to solve the level. By the way the anchor points are designed, and the constraints on where you can build a deck, you have to make a bridge that unfolds or moves into the correct position. Mine falls, but there might be other ways to solve it that I have not considered.
What did SimCity get wrong?

Pontimania addon: you're a pontimaniac if you know which thread this happened on :-)
someone correct me if I am wrong

After hitting "submit" I ended up with an empty page with a script error in the upper left corner.
So I went back one page and tried again and the same error occured.
So you can't call me impatient, because I took the time to do this again and again ! ;)
Now I know that if I'll get the error once more, the post will still be submitted (I hope) !
Again, sorry for that; no trick to gett my number of postings up a bit !
Mea culpa !!
Martin.
BTW: Still no examples for clevel 11 to show to me ?
