Cities: Skylines II – The Road From Village to Metropolis with These Helpful Tips

They are the bones. They are the main arteries that connect citizens with their workplaces and leisure spots, as well as guiding truck traffic towards manufacturing areas and industrial zones, or public transport vehicles to stations and stops.

New road tools that have multiple modes of operation give you more options to design beautiful roads and road networks which serve their purpose. With the combination of the road tools with the much improved AI, you can create dynamic cities that are constantly changing.

You can then add commercial areas and industrial factories to the mix. The zones are interconnected: Residential zones give citizens homes, industrial zones produce goods which can be sold to commercial zones giving them shopping options; and office zones make immaterial goods such as media and banking that citizens also consume.

The Demand Indicator will tell you the types of zones that the city requires. If there are vacancies, then more housing will be needed to bring in new workers. When unemployment is high, there’s a demand for more offices. Demand for commercial properties increases as manufacturing firms create more goods and need a place to store them. There are more variables affecting the demand for different zones and you’ll find more about them by looking closely at the Demand panel.

A city’s services are important. Services are important to any city. They offer basic infrastructure like water, electricity, garbage collection, healthcare, education, and security to enhance the happiness of citizens, as well as allowing businesses to flourish. The services will be unlocked at your own pace as you build your city. This allows your city to always have options for meeting new needs.

Keep an eye out for the amount of electricity used and produced in your area, as well as freshwater and sewerage capacity. They are the basic elements without which businesses and services cannot function. Missing these will also negatively affect your citizens’ lives.

Citizens are taught to be more aware consumers, and can apply for jobs that require more experience. The citizens consume less energy and water, and they produce less trash. When workplaces get filled with adequately educated and happy workers, the companies’ efficiency goes up which increases their profit. Increased tax revenues are a result of this.

The feeling of security is a key component of happiness for citizens. To achieve this, you need a functioning healthcare system, a police force that is adequate and ready to respond fire engines.

Well-designed transportation networks bring citizens together and reduce traffic congestion. They also improve the coordination of manufacturers.

Your city also offers a variety of recreational activities. Parks, plazas and sports fields are available for outdoor activities. You can also offer your citizens indoor attractions, such as tourist landmarks and parks. You can zone certain businesses, such as shopping, dining, and bars. Tourists are also a factor in this game, and they will flock to leisure opportunities if you have them.

The Happiness Meter for citizens will show you all of the factors that influence the overall Happiness Value in the city. If you want to know more about each individual household, select any residential area and look at the houses in that building.

Every citizen has their own home and place of work, or to study. (Although they may be unemployed or become homeless.) The level of education they possess determines how much time and money can be spent on work, as well as their consumption habits. The preferences of each citizen age group are also different when it comes to consuming material or immaterial goods.

You should consider the needs of each group when planning, say, city services. Children’s families want to be close to schools because they get a boost in their well-being from being near them. The elderly, on the other side, are not as concerned about educational facilities. They gain nothing from them. Adults as well as seniors enjoy leisure activities, such a parks, or shopping.

Travel preferences are also influenced by age groups. Teens value money. Teenagers will travel by bus and park their car farther away because it is cheaper. Adults care about time; the faster they get where they want to go, the better – how much it costs is secondary to their decisions. For seniors, comfort is important. What is the smoothest and easiest way to reach their destination?

The only difference is that milestones now unlock by earning XP and not by population, but they still unlock just the most important categories in the city. Buildings are unlocked by Development Points earned by unlocking the milestones. It’s up to you what you unlock by using these points.

The new progression system allows you to unlock the features you want and improve your city. The new system gives you the ability to construct small. If you want to keep a village, or a town that is small and well designed, then this option will allow you to progress. The goal can be to go large and majestic, smaller and more cozy, or any combination in-between, but you will still reach your objectives!
