/cbg/ City Building General
IRC: #SimCity on irc.rizon.net
--- News ---
Anno 2205 is out. General consensus is that it's a departure from 2070 and 1404 and should be judged on its own merits, not necessarily as a continuation of that formula, but that even judged on its own merits it can be argued that it's lacking content and coherence. It's not irredeemable shit.

Started a new city, this time on more level ground to get a really huge city going. Anyone know how to get both the default vanilla style and the European style in the same city? I'd like to have the default skyscrapers for downtown, but European style for outskirts.

district style perhaps? never used it though
>>121924659
On European maps, you can't change back to the default style, because it's replaced by the European style. On default styled maps, you can change to European, but not the other way round. Pretty retarded.

I fell for it pretty hard
How do you build a nice airport or shipping terminal?
After 18h im kinda done with 2205 with only 1 sector per zone. Unlocked all buildings, mqxed out my bank account, +110k revenue that I could streamline a bit
I wish there were more production chain, I remembered getting absolutely buttfucked the first time I launched 2070
Now it's only a matter of scaling up production, which is easy with a margin as wide
Tbh I'm just testing the word filter senpai

>currently sitting at 999 everything
It's really hard to like this game. There's a lot of cool concepts, but it's just bogged down by being really overly generous on the resource side of things. There's zero scarcity and no penalties for too much growth. That's something I like about 2070, how mines ran out and pollution would fuck up farming.

Haha, you've realy fallen in love with those trumpets >_<

Neat. I'm with oldshoes, though - maybe use a trumpet interchange instead?

Nice. I like your general layout and placement of areas.

The trumpets are just to compact and efficient, I can't help but use them.

This is pretty much your only option besides removing assets/mods you aren't using.
>>121982425
Do it.
Hey fuckers, I need a new city builder/factory construction game, I'm feeling the itch and nothing is scratching it. Doesn't have to be new, and I'm not particularly attached to any setting/style, as long as it's good. I've already played Skylines, I tried the new Anno and I do not care for it ( the last one was alright ), ditto Sim City 4, and I've had my time with basically all the games and series named in the OP ( except for some of the older Anno games ).
is it just me or are the walkways hard to connect?
like i would hover over already placed walkway because i want to extend a part of it and it bloody replaces it wtf
>>121989319
Here's some ideas friend:
Pharaoh Series
Caesar Series
Early Anno Games
Cities Skylines
The Guild 2 Renaissance
Tropico Series
Banished
Settlers Series
Stronghold Series
CivCity: Rome
Cities in Motion
Cities XL
OpenTTD
Knights and Merchants
>>121989987
The only ones of those that I've not played is the early anno games ( which I indeed said in the post ), and the main reason I'm sorta keeping away from those is because they're basically impossible to findoutside of teh piracy, and from what I understand they've sorta been left behind by modders in terms of stuff like high resolution mods and modernization fixes. I love old games but the tiny resolutions on games that aren't sidescrollers or screen-to-screen in terms of perspective just throw me off completely.
Is Space Colony any good?
>>121990248
The early anno games are on gog, but you should try to play 1602. It's the forgotten classic of the Anno series.
>>121990272
It's a little dated in some regards, but still holds up fairly well, specially if you get that new enchanced edition that's floating around. It's more of a people management game than a building game. mind you.
>>121990313
Could you sell me on it, Anon? Why should I go for that one over 1503 or 1701?
>>121990483
Actually I'm leaving in two minutes, but in short 1503 has very different mechanics in terms of Anno. They changed the formula and it didn't work well at all. It's probably the worst game in the series. Not liking 1701 is personal taste. They more or less improved the graphics while simultaneously bloating the interface. It felt like playing a children's game. I'm not saying 1701 is bad, but it's probably the easiest and least fulfilling game in the series. As for 1602, it's a sort of bread and butter city builder. Originally released in 2000 (NA). It's not 'dated' rather than 'simple' as there aren't any mechanics that are old. The military aspect is barely present, which I like, but some people prefer the newer games with increased military focus. I hate to use the word, but it's 'comfy' and I love making custom scenarios and trying to max out population on them. Also, 1602 still has multiplayer over hamachi if you want to play with others.
>>121990743
Fair enough, I will definitely consider it. Thanks.

I think they tried to replace it with the temperate/arctic/lunar sectors. However without competition for the sectors the whole gameplay mechanic just falls apart.

or is it Pond, small town close to the airport?
>>122020185
>>122020375
Neither and fuck you for using the word "comfy".
>>122020375
or maybe Halbow, the town thats really far away from everything, hidden in the woods?
>>122020570
or perhaps Lonecreek, farmer village close to the mine?
>>122020539
but theres more!
what about the comfiest comfytown of Comfyngton in comfyvalley ?
>>122020942
and also not so comfy but moreso borring trailer park called Caly?
>>122021156
and the last challenger, the trailerpark called Oak Nest, hidden up in the hills!
