Cities Skylines: The misadventures of Steppenwolf

    Nah, it's SP only. Old school. I actually suspect that the devs dropped multiplayer because it would be too much of a time-sink to get all the mp mechanics to work and to make it interesting (SimCity 5 tried to make meaningful mp but it fell hella-flat).

    Pretty dope, gotta try out this game~

    You see, this is why people buy city building games — to do awesome stuff like that! SimCity 5 seems so feeble in comparison when looking at creative potential.

    The annoying thing is that SC5 got a lot of the non-building stuff done in a really nice way, but it looks like Skylines has dutifully copied at least some of it, which is a good thing.

    Building a dam down the river wasn't the best idea.

    I went ahead and changed it (with a slight alteration to keep it recognizable for others). Step, keep the misadventures coming please.

    This looks really cool. I'll definitely pick it up when I can as I've been hungry for a good city builder for a long time now. Kinda frustrating really though in a sense that SC5 wasn't up to this. It looked so promising early on then just fell on it's face Nice to see someone else come along and show EA how to do it properly. And it just goes to show that gamers will happily pay for a game that does what they want and what they want done right.

    So last night i made a small but costly mistake. In my city i had an industrial area on a hill over the city. This causes some issues with the sewage system polluting the cities fresh water. So i created a seperate pipe circulation system. Then by accident i connected both systems without realising it immediately. 7000 people died on the spot after ingesting the poisonous industrial waste. A couple thousand more succumbed to sickness in the weeks after followed by a general flight thanks to crumbling infrastructure and services. Within two months the city lost half of its nearly 40k population.


    The city looked worse then Detroit at this point but wasn't lost. Thanks to heavy residential tax cuts it was soon back on its feed. It only cost around 2.5m$ (almost all savings + missed tax income).

    Could easily work as an alternate backstory opening for "28 days later" or "the walking dead"

    It would actually be pretty cool if games like these would just incorporate the consequences of viral outbreaks from movies etc. like a post apocalyptic sim city... See tiny people try to fight off zombies on rooftops of half destroyed buildings, people trying to escape are dying etc.


    Then after years, some infrastructure is slowly rebuilt, people reuse buildings as shanties and new societies emerge...

    I'm sure someone will make a good zombie outbreak events mod.
