My Cities: Skylines CJ Scrapbook -- The Night Cometh...
BLANKBLANK posted a topic in Cities: Skylines City Journals
Entry 1: Welcome to Tamboria A new CJ for a new city builder. The truth is that Cities Skylines is the long awaited, possibly mythical, Simcity 5- the one which we all dreamed of for so long. Let's get the show on the road! /// Tamboria is a newly fledging town which is rapidly expanding thanks to its diligent mayor. This is my first ever CS city and it only took three hours to build- mind you I have been following lets plays extremely carefully so I know what kind of mistakes to avoid. The South-west interchange and first access point to drive into Tamboria. Moving a kilometre northwards and we come to the main interchange and second major access point for reaching Tamboria. Crawley Interchange; an important artery in Tamboria's transport network. Gromley Industrial District to the South. Breathe in that lovely soot! Accidents do happen... The power of solar. Thank God there are no nights! Ore mining. One day there will be a mod for massive strip mines and other heavy industry. Putting the modded camera to use. It's easy to find on the Cities Skylines Steam Workshop as it is a very popular mod. If you wondering where I got all the money from for upgrading the highways, well I cheated and used the unlimited money cheat plus the everything unlocked cheat. I have got to say that the modded free roam camera is far more easier to use than the SC2013 one. I love getting up close and personal with the camera. Just wait until the skyscrapers develop- there are going to be some mad pictures, I tell you, mad! I really like this three-lane exit in Crawley Interchange. The graphics aren't quite up to Simcity2013's quality and clarity, however in Cities Skylines favour the darker, dirtier and grittier textures are actually an improvement and give CS that edge. Never shy away from gridded cities- curved grids look beastly. Community gardens. My favourite part of Tamboria is the farmland. Zone some roads with farms and then add modded parks which resemble fields. Right now there are two textures and styles for fields but that will only increase with time. Still it is a massive visual improvement from usual CS farms. Pigs (Three Different Ones). Great clouds by the way! They look photo-realistic. I wonder if weather mods are possible for those clouds are awesome. And now for some (close up) / (ground level) pictures of the highways. The highway walls remind me of that highway in the Matrix Reloaded. It occurred to me that all roads could be lined with fences via upgrades. It would be something similar to highways with sound walls but instead there would be a variety of fences: wood, metal, brick, uniform, grated and so forth... Finally the highways are amazing. My only niggle with them is the lack of longer merging lanes and more shallow exit and entrance angles. /// Stay tuned for the next update this Sunday evening- who knows how much Tamboria will have grown and changed!?!- 324 Replies
