SimCity Strategy: Tips to Build a New City

Time: 2019-05-20

SimCity is an open-ended city-building video game, where the players will act as mayor and must expand the city with the budget provided. Do you know how to maximize the use of resources in your hands to build your own city? Here are some tips for you.

Let's talk about layout first. In terms of layout, there are currently three kinds of planning schemes in the game. The first is compact city, the second is Water-based city, and the third is characteristic city.
 
Compact cities: How to properly use the relatively limited land resources in the early stage to make the urban population develop rapidly? Building a compact city is definitely a good idea. In the game, buildings such as roads, houses, service facilities, and landscapes all occupy land resources. Taking the shortest section of the road as a reference, the housing area is 2X2. The highest level of fire station, police station and hospital covers an area of 2X4. By avoiding designing too many roads, you can save more land resources to build a home or a park-like building that will increase the proportion of the population. The road design method for reference here is to divide the residential area with two horizontal roads and try not to create vertical roads. It's also important to build a park, school, and cover as many homes as possible to increase the city's population more effectively!
 
Water-based city: Free planning of the road, building a personalized city is a highlight of the game. But isn't the city composed of roads and buildings a little monotonous? In fact, the content in the game is not only buildings and landmarks, but also a large number of parks, leisure and entertainment facilities. In addition, players can transform the natural scenery of the game and open up the river for the city, and if you build enough water in the city, turning your city into a simulated water Venice is not a dream!
 
The landscape building requires the player city to reach level 6 to build. Currently, players can see two types of scenic buildings in the game: all kinds of trees and lakes. Unlike other urban buildings, where trees and lakes do not need to be connected to roads, they can bring happiness to the surrounding residential buildings, thereby promoting urban population growth. To this end, when there are individual plots in your city that are difficult to connect with the road, you can fill them with natural buildings.
 
Characteristic buildingsare based on their own favorite, using the resources in their hands to make the city a unique and unique city. Here are some of the unique cities that individuals have discovered.
