Cities Skylines: Fast Growth!

Okay, let's play a little more. I'm kinda curious at this point if there's region play at all. When I go to the region view, mine is the only city tile available. Hmmm...

Hey, I got a yakisoba joint! I'm totally down with that. :)

Yay! I reached "Little Hamlet" status! That means new things are available to me. I can now build a landfill, a school, and a clinic! I also got a nice, fat deposit into my city coffers.

New roads are available to me now as well. It's not easy to replace a 2-lane road with a 4-lane. This is going to have to wait a bit.

Wow, talk about not knowing what you need until you know about it. The instant schools and clinics become available, the residents get sick and stupid! I had to build these right away.

Same with the landfill. The moment it was available, the residents only then just noticed that the town was stinky and trashy. I had to plop this right away.

It is getting a smidge more lively out there. That's a good thing.

Residents will talk to you via "tweets." (The game has another word for it, but I forgot what it is.)

Yeek! Okay, upgrades are starting to be a bit shocking. They always come with extra demands from the citizens, but at least there's a bank account deposit.

This upgrade came with a lot of new goodies. I'm a little low on cash, so I'm going to just run the city for a bit to build up reserves.

Well, look at that! Once your reach "Worthy Village," region play is available! Now all adjacent tiles can be built up.

Hmmm... You have to buy the tile for 5K. I'll wait and build up my cash first. :)

I'm going to have to move this outflow pipe eventually. This is nasty.

Anyway... I need to upgrade the main road into town with a four-lane. Let's destroy the old road.

What the... Okay, when I destroy the roads, the underlayer becomes a mess of driveways and parking lots. That's kind of interesting.

Good news is that demolishing those houses and businesses for the four-lane road really wasn't as catastrophic as I figured it would be. Recovery was very speedy!

That's it for now! Ask questions about the game and I'll go in and try to answer!

Nice, if you want to avoid destroying houses when upgrading roads, you might build houses facing the streets instead of main road and allow some margin between main road and houses.

Mrsmartman: This is true indeed. However, I've gone right into this without any plan whatsoever, so it's all a bit of a mess. That's the way I like it.  :)
