city creating

[opiq 0]

yo guys, i have this simple question about creating a city.. which is more favorable, each tile in region as single city or the whole region is the city?

thanx a lot for the help guys..

depends on what you want, you could have a large city taking up a few tiles before turning to suburbs and then farmland, or you can make an area with only with high density buildings. your choice...

The is pro s and cons with both methods , the single tile has some good advantages but must be carefully played , but there could come a time when you have no chioce but to connect , as in connections that lead some where .

thanks godzillaman, because IMO, a whole region based city is too big, but a tiles based city could reduce the reality touch on the region, as if the region is a nation..

and you are right gridlock, i think so too.. that is why i'm still measuring pro and cons of the options..

well, i guess i'll stick to the tiles.. the large tiles would be the capital, big tiles surrounding would be the supporting cities and suburbs, and the rest would be farmland..

Why not just begin on one large tile with scattered communities and grow to other tiles as necessary?  I have found this to be a satisfactory technique, and you can build a "regional municipality" this way.

"regional municipality"... i like those words.. yeah, i now have the perfect map for that.. the in-game Berlin region, modify a bit, and become a good peninsula, or cape.. i wanna start a CJ with this modified map, i just need to do something else related to completing the CJ preparation, and lots of RL.. haha..

thanx N_O..
