I actually learnt about #Tropico from Coconut, she was mad about Tropico 5, it sounded good, so I got the original trilogy since that's all my netbook could handle (only Tropico 1 in fact, and even my new PC won't run 2, so I guess I'll never play it). And if anyone here knows who Coconut is, then all I can say is, wow, small world.

Also, I wonder what happened to her.

I got to the highest level of 90k population. Now what haha.

I'm not a big fan of open ended play. Games like #Tropico and the Sierra city building series have scenarios and campaigns, but #CitiesSkylines doesn't seem to be anything other than open play, which I will probably get bored of eventually. There are unlockables, which are nice.

I'm not a fan of having most of the city features locked behind population milestones. I don't mind if it's just a one off thing, like once you've unlocked it, you've unlocked it, but I have a feeling you have to unlock for each new city. That annoys me, because my way of city building is to have a proper layout planned from the start. Maybe I'll be able to do it on my next city, now that I know what I'm doing.

Certain bus stops had mega overdemand, but I managed to sort them out by adding a few tube stations and some shorter bus loops at the some stops.

Anyway, my first successful town was a functioning hot mess. I got over 5m in the bank and then went on a spending spree buying all the monuments and unique buildings.

Also I found out by accident that if you select a tree, then click on an avenue, you can change the tree type.

Is there a way to get cycle lanes on the base game or is that something locked behind an EP?
