SimCity a disaster for you? Take a look at Cities: Skylines (not related to CitiesXL)

It's all about the right mixture (rip maxis)
Puts Simcity 2013 in perspective, that looks smaller than one tile in Skylines.

So are there any known advantages to the coal plant? All these YouTube hippies keep using wind turbines.
Much more power early on. Plus it can be put in places where wind sucks.
You can eventually unlock an upgrade to burn garbage in the power plants.
They put in the gaf logo somewhere?
Nah, but I imagine we have some damn fine mod folks in this thread who'll be able to whip something up.
I wouldn't put it past some modders to come out with a NeoGAF style sperm bank.

Wait, wind actually varies now? Does it vary per spot, or just plan vary overtime?
Depending on sound level...
It can definitely lead to impact on health. If people have difficulty sleeping and are constantly stressed you can see how sound level can lead to both physical and mental health problems. (and crime, even!)
RCI, how does it work? lol

Cities: Skylines |OT| Real Cities Have Curves
Mengy
wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
One CSL tile is supposed to be the same as one SC5 tile, 2km x 2km (of course you can get up to 9 of them per city in CSL), but from all the vids I've seen it's not the same and you can indeed fit more city in one CSL tile than you can in that one SC5 tile. I almost think the roads and zones are smaller or scaled down some in CSL than they were in SC5 so you can fit more city in the same land area.
The OT maker probably already set on a good title, but I fully support this.
I'm still debating on the title, although I feel I want to put Colossal in there somewhere. Ideas would be great.

I believe the overwhelming vote for the OT was this:
Cities Skylines [OT] - we got the true Simcity 5 at last
EA's SimCity 2013 has curves too.
Yeah it'S not like the curved roads is the new feature.

This looks truly excellent.

Damn it, Maxis.

Damn it, Maxis.
Not a new feature, but it tells people to use use god damn curves
And the Sim City 5 jab in the title seems a bit cheap to me. Using "collossal" for something is a cuter idea, but if Sim City 5 is what the mob wants, you gotta give it to them I suppose.

God I'm really hype for this game now! I was just watching some of the Quill vids and I'm loving everything I'm seeing. I love how huge the maps are and the throwback feel to Simcity 3. I was so sad when the new Simcity scaled back on size and resorted to that online connecting town bs. But this definitely looks like the natural evolution to what was supposed to be Simcity 4.

A lot of people in the thread have already supported this one. Seems particularly appropriate given the recent Maxis news.

I really don't see why it's necessary to bring Sim City into the OT title at all, you guys should let this game stand on its own and avoid the pointless low blows.

Or maybe something like this:
Cities Skylines [OT] A Colossal city building game which Paradox's EA's Simcity 5

Yeah I vote for leaving references to SimCity out of the |OT|.
Blame EA, not Maxis.
Considering the current situation at Maxis, we should have some respect for those who lost jobs.

This. I feel like it's implying it's like Simcity when it's better.
Also above post ^
I assume the complete video showing off the city has been posted here since I've seen the flipping car gif floating around... But I finally came across that video myself to see just how much land 9 tiles is and to see some high denstiy districts.
O_O damn. sogood.gif
My question about the tiles though. I know you get 9 total without mods. Are these 9 tiles restricted to the 8 surrounding your starting tile, or can you expand in any direction and grab whatever 9 tiles you want?
agreed.

Per spot.
If you choose the wind turbines, the map switches to a gray colour scheme. Dark gray means full energy payout, lighter gray means less. It's also shown in the tooltip when you hover the tile over suitable ground.

Unfortunately, I still think the OT needs a disclaimer in the title about this not being related to the XL games.

You will be able to expand adjacent to any tiles you already have. So, you could technically just expand in a single line if you wanted to. You are not restricted to a square or rectangular shape in the end.
How big are individual maps?
I thought I remember hearing they were 25x25 tiles, but maybe it was 25 sq tiles (5x5).
2km by 2km per tile, and you can have 5 by 5 tiles in a region.

Anybody in this thread start working on a mod for the game yet? Are the active modders right now using copies of the game yet? I'm interested in working on some mods, but have no modeling experience at all.

The latter is correct: 5x5 for a total of 100km^2 (since each tile is 2km x 2km).
I think people have already been adding custom content to the Workshop. Most of it is probably prefabs from in-game assets, but I'm not sure if there have been new meshes added yet.

You'll be fine assuming you have 4GB or more RAM.
Important section for all bird haters:
Code:
IChirper
bool DestroyBuiltinChirper();
bool ShowBuiltinChirper(bool show);
Vector2 builtinChirperPosition { get; set; }
void SyncMessages();
void DeleteMessage(IChirperMessage message);
