GUYS, PLS HELP! I added some more buildings though the workshop and now I always get the "cities skylines.exe stopped working" error. It's not the mods, since it also appeared after I unsubscribed the new mods. I reinstalled the game, but it didn't help, it just keeps happening.
I have a lot of other mods installed but they didn't make any trouble before, I don't know what it could be.

are there any other games besides SC4 where you can terraform the world?

This general has died when fo4 got released. Coincidence?

>>123326298
Depends on what degree. Several building games have some kind of terraforming, but mostly not very extensive. You could look at God games to see if there are some that tickle your fancy.

>>123327220

>>123326298

>>123355330
There's also the Chinese version, but it isn't on GoG yet.

That one is a bit off, the camera is is more zoomed in compared to previous releases, or the buildings got bigger, I don't know, but that's the only complaint I have about it.

The differences from the previous installments make Emperor great, it handles gods differently and has this great random map generator type of thing. Loved it.

Kinda, but not too bad. You gotta flatten the land, then build a road, and the walls off of it. then you can lower the land in front of the walls, but don't delete that road or the walls will shift height.

It's bigger and better. SimCity is not really a SimCity, it's SimVillage. Sure you get highrise buildings, but the space for a city is too small.
SimCity 5 was a let down and Cities Skylines is what SimCity 5 was supposed to be.

Divide city into blocks, fill each block with half industrial and half residential, nobody has to commute.

Centralise all commercial near the map edge for good inter-regional connections.

Imo emperor was at a point where the gameplay got too streamlined until it was easy.
Especially the placement of nobles as separate from worker houses. Also no yuan/ming expansion

Anyway cleopatra/pharoah was the zenith because of the building projects that were diverse and large. Its fun watching them take shape and they look great when completed.

Cotn played totally different to the impressions builders but i think it was where ancient cbers needed to go. Too bad no one like it

>>123546252
CotN had a lot of really great ideas. It just lacked content and better AI. After you get enough scribes to run all your services there's nothing higher up in the 'tech-tree', so to speak, you just build more of the same and maybe some underwhelmingly easy monuments. And having a dude cross the map just to pray at some podunk shrine was stupid - you couldn't build proper neighborhoods or separate work camps or anything like that, even though the freaking tutorial suggests you should.

But enough negativeness, I really liked how they based the entire economy on food. Simple, elegant and historical. And exploring your city close up was fun - a definite advantage of being 3D.

>>123546629
Exactly. It was the direction cbers needed to go rather than the functionally communist impressions type builders.
They just needed.to fix the ai in a sequel.bt then we got.caesar.4.instead which was a regression

>>123585717
The logistics system demands that you keep building garages to keep your goods moving until you either end up demolishing your entire city center to build parking or watch your economy collapse.

Of course there is truth in this, but in real life people do things like, you know, build multi-storey car parks. In Tropico 4, you don't have a choice. You have to build the garages, or your city dies. This one aspect ends up totally distorting urban planning.

Also, from an aesthetic standpoint, the apartments in Tropico 5 give incentive to actually build cities that look like cities. I would have preferred that road access be a requirement and not an option, but the housing quality bonus is still enough to make it compelling. Tropico 3 and 4 actually punished you for doing this, since building roads took up valuable real estate that could be better spent on PARKING GARAGES

The old Ikarus commie buses around here- at least, the ones that are articulated like the one anon linked- can carry 147 people. Of course, modern buses with lowered floors have less leg space due to having to fit the wheels and engine somewhere.

>>123605660
But even the non-articulated low-floor new buses can carry 80-something people. 30-40 is just absurdly low and only sounds right for long-distance buses where everyone sits.

basically standard bus is 40-50 people
articulated bus is 70-80 people
