Do you play unlimited money or do you like to build it up? I know that feel though
>2 hours in to new city
>holy shit I didn't get discouraged and quit by now
>But that first road I made is ugly as fuck and I can't fix it
>restart
>>333078628
I try to build my way up

Still a baby

That game was really engaging until I figured out how to sustain a town. Since I got my first town up and running, I haven't played it again.
def worth my 5 bucks though.
>>333080205
You have to keep progressing until you grow to meet the map edges. There is definitely more there for you to do even when you think you've got the game figured out.
I got bored of Cities Skylines quite fast, there are not too many things to do after your city is big... It lacks the Simcity 4 depthness (though i appreciate it for being the first serious city-building game in more than 10 years). Also the expansions suck.
I really want a game like that but i don't know what to play. Maybe i'll come back to Banished.
>Want to build a city without any modifications
>Roads always turn out either america suburban like
>Or just pile up and jam due to vehicle idiocy
I really want to make a good city without modifications.
Banished was fun, never played any mods though. Recommends?
>>333078852
are you piloting this helicopter or is that a camera angle?
>>333078852
the fuck is that
>>333081091
Helicopter mod
>>333081041
Colonial Charter is great if you want to see expanded production trees and a few new mechanics. The Fountain mod is nice for aesthetics, castles, larger buildings, and, again, a few new mechanics.
>>333081154
neato, gonna give that a whirl
>>333078126
I CAN'T STOP MAKING SHITTY GRID CITIES.
FUCK.

Does Banished still have death waves when elderly couples take up entire houses and prevent children from being born?
>>333081605
Yes. Controlling for population cycles is generally the final hurdle you have to leap to create a truly self-sufficient town (beyond crop-rotation and all of that, anyway).
Bitches don't even know about retainer lanes
Does a single game exist besides Civ 4 that lets me design my government ? I think gal civ 2 did it to some degree but then gal Civ 3 decided that was too much brain thinking and replaced it with some level up bullshit.
>>333081773
but it changes the spirit of the game (a survival building game)
>>333082445
Paradox Games dude, it's time go to the next level
>>333082445
I kinda want something similar. These games are not very fun without realistic governments. In Cities Skylines you can destroy your entire city and rebuild it, but in real life you cant do that. Rezoning is hard enough, since you have to go to city council meetings and have them decide
>>333082582
They let you choose your government type but not customise your government, or do they? How many options are we talking here ? My only real play through was as coming pagans in ck2 so I'm not sure how many government options existed or how big of an effect they had.
>>333082445
Prepare your anus
>>333082978
It has government options? Fuck I pirated it to see if I liked it and couldn't get it to run so I gave up. If it has government options I will try again.
>>333083270
I thought it had more customization but I guess it just has a preset list of government types to choose from. You can fully customize your ships/bases equipment and appearance though
>>333082856
Civ 4 was more of choosing ideas but it didn't have a big effect on your society, that kind of mechanics came for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (a great sci-fi 4x game like civ).
Crusader Kings 2 is more about your dinasty than goverment, you can still change it and tweak it but nearly always is about your dinasty.
In Europa Universalis you can change your goverment to a lot of types depending on a lot of requirements. It's not like Civ4 tho.
In Victoria there's a population that controls your country so you can indirectly change your goverment to a lot of types of the XIX and early XX century, from communism to fascism, passing through different kinds of democracies, monarchies, dictatorships, etc. There are multiple ideas and parties that combine them under a single philosophy. For example: A socialist party can still be pro-market, intervenionist, pro-army and accept immigrants.
In Hearts of Iron you've even more depth of goverment types, but it's a minor thing compared to the constantly present war.
>>333082034
This is the only thing that drives me to play this game, sometimes you need to think outside the box because how retarded is the AI at driving.
>>333081497
>want to play the game badly
>can't because unemployed
>don't wanna pirate it
>>333084171
Retainer lanes are a typical real life solution to these types of situations.
Where a lot of people fail is they don't understand how real roads are built and make retarded 6 lane roads everywhere
>>333083816
Would you recommend Hearts of Iron or the Darkest Hour mod?
>there are not too many things to do after your city is big... It lacks the Simcity 4 depthness
What is there to do after your city gets big in SimCity 4? Haven't played either, would like to get into this type of game.

Basically the City building general in /vg/

I'll give it my best friendo.

Why do I even?

When im bored at my job i used to enter there and post solutions to stuff like that.
I dont have the game on my laptop to test it my self but i get feedback sometimes about the restults. most of the times are missmatches between crossing highways or the still unaccessible part of those highways.
>>333084957
Hearts of Iron 3, but i'm not a big fan of that game. War stresses me out.
>>333085140
More things to achieve and to build, also the zoning is more complex than in Cities Skylines. I'm not saying there's a big gap between both games, just that SC4 is a little bit better.
>>333078126
>>333081497
>not just a large preplanned square grid city
Thank god.
>Just discovered I had cities XL from a humble bundle from eons AGO
Wew
>>333090121
>not just playing Cities: Skylines instead
Working on my home city Miami. Kinda mad im going to have to replace all the sea walls as the new patch includes canals which are better sea walls then the mod I am currently using.
>hate on grid cities
JUST
>>333090881
Has this game been surpassed yet?

>play Cities Skyline for the first time

>everywhere a straight line is I see a road
Comfy towns > Cities
Shame the farming takes so much extra work to look even slightly decent, I liked having lots of farmland in SC4.
>>333091672
>Driving anywhere now
>All I see is traffic engineering
>>333081773
>crop-rotation
I remember this not being actually implemented in the game. Was it patched in?
>>333091501
closest ive come to that in todays releases is pic related
>>333082034
>six-lane highway just ends abruptly
>dangling on-ramp
>two-lane frontage road has a tiny gap with no road
>six-lane feeds into single-lane one-way
Are there any good fantasy or sci-fi town buildan games?
>>333091795
There are some nice ploppables but some are buggy and fields are limited to squares.
Build too much farming and suddenly the road can get busier than downtown, especially when they stop to load or unload and block everything else.
>>333093238
>not playing dorf fortress
>>333093887
Something comfy. Not something memetastic.
>>333091501
Caesar 3 was better IMO, but it was from the same company. And no, that kind of gameplay hasn't been surpassed.
>>333093238
Anno 2070 and 2205 (scifi)
Black and White 1 and 2 (fantasy)
