The Cities of Yesterday 'Challenge'

[EliasRex83 0]

Just came up with this idea this week inspired by various ideas I was working on for my own regions and the CoT expansion pack. Why not look back 50 years into the past and try to build 'Cities of Yesterday.' A lot of the current regular building models would fit perfectly in such cities (either Western or Soviet bloc) as well as almost of the more modern landmarks were built during this time period (late 50s to early 70s). Came up with the following guidelines to make this all the more challenging:

 

- No sandbox

- Run the city or cities for ten in-game years

- Have the cities or region be net profitable

- Power: Only coal and oil plants can be used but the clean upgrades can be added 

- Safety: No large police precincts or fire departments, only hospitals (for the sake of the great medical advances of era and the larger amount of pollution these cities are likely to have)

- Specializations: No electronics except in order to build the Space Center GW (since vaccum tubes, no processors were used for the electronics of the era)

- No Solar Power or Arcology GW (would not have been possible with the tech of the era) 

 

 

Please post your results here if you take this up.

I would love to see some cities like this, unforunately I don't think we will see anyone submit a city.... maybe if enough of us say we want it, someone might I have made some rural type cities that are not the typical skyscraper town that this game pushes you towards. However, after getting your city to a certain point you really just have to move on cause there is nothing left to do. If I still had this city I would post a screen, unforunately this city was rather old and I deleted it a long time ago. Once a new patch comes out I pretty much start everything over from scratch.
