From God View to the View of the Cim One thing not often done, or at least recorded in Screenshots and video is what the City is like from Cim or ground level perspective in the game. For me I love dropping down to First Person Mode to see what is going on a Cim […]
Fine tuning the city to avoid massive rebuilds and expensive motorways Once you have settled into the basic mechanics of Cities Skylines with a functioning transport system, the zones nicely laid out and the civic infrastructure all working does the fun really begin. Fun what fun? As the city gets larger it gets more complex […]
Some quickfire ways to help the city move As a Spatial Planning and Urban Geographer in real life the concepts I practice there can make its way into Cities Skylines and vice versa. For more on tactical urban see this post over at my main blog: Tactical Urbanism Reaches South Auckland! So can Tactical Urban be […]
Or was it along? Apologies for lack of content lately. It is all sitting there in Youtube and in pictures but not assembled into a blog post. That said in the blog’s absence fellow Cities Skylines follow DoctorWhy rose to the community challenge and this is what happened: We are on a Winter Map, our […]
Reblogged this on Talking Southern Auckland and commented:
Some people say; “Oh Cities Skylines is just a game that is easy to do in building your cities.”
They could not be more wrong if they tried when establishing large cities especially of Mods like Real Time, Traffic Manager Presidents Edition, and Realistic Population and Growth are all enabled.
For perspective when putting Urban Geography concepts through the simulator:
It takes about a week to draw up everything needed to bring an urban development online (and the urban development has not occurred yet). This is shown in the picture looking down onto the Sky Tower and the road network just beyond it.
It will take about another week of urban development and tweaking to get the picture showing a fully developed street (not road) with the active and transit modes working.
So about 70-80 hours of solid Urban Geography being put in just to establish a single large District like a City Centre. It takes even longer when establishing Industry owing to logistics supply mechanics.
