WE ARE GO: Manukau Ranges. A #CitiesSkylines2 Story. Part 2.x

First cims and businesses move into my brand new city

This city is built using the Volchoria Map from ‪@paradoxinteractive‬ Mods: Volchoria Map

Each blog post will contain either:

  • The standard X.X series where I undertake City Building along with talking Planning Methodology.
  • The Manukau Rides X.X series where I jump on the transit system and travel around. Often used to see where problems might occur best seen at ground level.

Proof is in the Pudding. Letting in the first Cims and Business. Manukau Ranges 2.X

Everything is set up. Time to let in the first cims and businesses that will not only make Manukau Ranges their home, but influence the future of the city!

It is also why I do regular post-implementation reviews, and checks as well. To make sure all is well, and that any problems that do arise are handled promptly (enter the Ride Series).

Time to look to see how things kick off shall we with Manukau Ranges 2.X!
