Trial City - Yellowstone

The city name after a real life vulcano called The Yellowstone Caldera.

My first official city that is used for the trial account and to test everything out.

Thank you for reading and hopefully you will give me some comments or faves.

Before Yellowstone

Last year I was a beta tester on Cities XL, I was selected to be one thanks to a German website I do not know the name of anymore. I was selected to see how it progressed and what kind of problems there were. I was even allowed to see the last seconds of the beta, what was really an awesome moment, to bad it was also full of lags. Since then I decided I wanted this game, but, not before I knew for sure it was worth it. € 40 and € 10 a month is not nothing. So I waited.

A week ago thought I saw a lot of journals and since then I decided to play Cities XL again, not the game, just a trial, anything was good enough actually. So, installed it (took 4 ours) and started to get playing, but actually I failed constantly. Mainly because Metis was a very expensive and dead planet, but also because I just sucked. So yeah, after 3 or 4 days I heard awesome news, that on the planet of Caliban, I could join and then get some help. So I went to Caliban and there it started.

Tnx to:

Before I go further I first want to thank 2 people. Aelencia and Evergreen. They gave me the tokens I needed and helped me actually very well, with giving me information to. I think I people giving 5000 Euro tokens and all kinds of other tokens for 1C is actually gigantic awesome9.gif I think people should help them get even further and yeah give them a warm welcom to. Awesome playing dudes9.gif

Pictures

Before I actually wanna talk, here are some pictures of my city9.gif

The story

The Beginning started with me trading 5000 tokens with Aelencia, with that money I could do a lot of stuff. So yeah, first build some stuff to trade with, around 20 farms, only had to use 5 to actually trade with him for that kind of money. I waited to get the money and then started to build. First I used small stuff, small roads and so on, but soon I saw traffic was getting overloaded, so I had to expand that. Also I had to build some resourches and some important services, also farms were needed to keep my city happy. Around 1 day or 2 days ago I also decided it was smarter to movie the whole industrial area to the other side. Actually it kept me from going to a negative income, but it also caused me to move a lot of stuff. Lucky, eventually everything went fine when I got the resourches and yeah. Also an important thing was that I was able to make a highway system, I loved that, it was one going around the mountain and within seconds it was already orange. Also a tunnel was needed and yeah, I had to make overpasses because there are no actual good ramps. It was fun as long as it lasted. And yeah. This was my last day. I will miss this game. But not for long I hope.

PS: Above you can see pictures,the first let you show the Commercial/Business and Residential part of my city, the other 2 let you see the industrial part, then another one like the first, then another one, then a shot from the beginning of the residential highway, then you see 2 traffic overviews. Not much I know.

I'll be back

Even if I suck at this whole game, even if it miss so much stuff, I will be back soon. In February I will be buying this game and maybe the PO. I will play it and hope it will all be fine. Got the money now so9.gif Me happy.

TNX AND SEE YA ALL!
