Trying again: This time without going broke!

Okay, so let's do it and be more sensible this time. :) There's no difficulty setting that I've noticed until now. You get 70K to start and a little bonus deposit when your city reaches milestones.

I started out much more modestly this time. Roads are very expensive indeed. Don't go hog-wild with the roads when you start.

connection.png

The neighbor connection resembles the most recent SimCities. I'm not quite sure how to properly connect to the expressway yet. This is the best I can do for now. I reckon I'll figure this thing out eventually.

zoning.png

I had no trouble figuring out the zoning. By default, it's set to the quick-zone function. With the tools indictated in the screenshot, you can see that the zones are customizable down to the square. At this point, I don't know what the minimum number of blocks is for a development.

Your city will demand a sewer outflow almost immediately. May as well build one right away. It's also required that you build it downstream from your water pump, or else you'll start sucking up poo into your city's water supply. Ew!

Industry is growing!

Looks like I'm running short on electricity.

I have two choices. I can build a new wind turbine or I can relocate this one to a windier area! (Oh, and try not to laugh too hard at my stupid spelling error.) :P

This looks really, really cool. I may have to pick this game up. It'd be the first game I've purchased in quite a long time. Thanks for this entry!

Thank you for this journal!!! I never played this type of Sim City and any information I can look up will help me make up my mind.

 

Nice growing city! Looking forward to see more entries ! :)

slickbg56: Though this is a "first impressions" rather than a review, I am willing to at least say that I'm having fun with it. :)

 

Mymyjp: You're welcome.  :) There's more than just this around the site. We got another CJ going in the Cities Skylines forum and a Let's Play being created as well. Go check them out!

 

Schulmanator: Heh, I never left, per se. I don't journal on ST so much anymore. I have all that off-site now. It's good to be doing a classic-style journal again, though. :)

Had to start 4 cities before having a balanced budget, I think we're all in the same situation...

 

Plus, I was quite surprised of finding out wind strength maps, wasn't counting with that. It resulted that I had placed my wind turbines in the quietest area of the map :(. The fun of discovery!
