It also looks like in won't be feasible to make every area have perfect coverage for all the services, as it will become too expensive!

I really like the addition of high and low voltage networks, telecom networks and welfare buildings. It looks like everything is more in depth and more detailed than the previous game!

I mean the one with the radius, instead of just a single tile!

And no zoning brush anymore, but we do get architecture themes straight from the zoning tool! It also looks like the zoning options can change depending on that theme, as the names in the video specifically mention NA. If true that would be great for modding!

Also, the developers are starting their holidays today, until the 7th of August. So they won't answer questions until then.

I'm sad to see that there isn't any medium density for offices, commercial and industry, I had hoped for them to be there.

But holy damn, dynamic farmlands? And that huge mine? That is great stuff, basically one of the few things that Cities (x?)XL did super well!

I recently asked them on twitter, and their reply was basically that it’s not a region system like SC4, but something more towards what we already had in C:S1. But since every outside connection is named, I think we have to wait to see what it actually means!

That would be great!

Ooh, a bit like simcity 2013? I completely forgot it was a thing until you mentioned protests!

And indeed, hopefully the special buildings get their own mechanics.

It kinda makes sense, since metro has a smaller footprint and is more flexible. And in a lot of smaller (European) cities you do have train stations, but no metro!

Haha, yeah, there's a lot of information hiding in plain sight. The city hall is interesting! And the Central bank and Central Intelligence Bureau are a cool addition too.

Me too, on one hand it will take more effort to plan the stops first and then create your lines, but it also makes managing your lines easier. Something not necessarily better but just different, perhaps?
