I remember twenty odd years ago with SC3000 or whatever it was called: my money cheat was to build a small town that was making a profit, put the game on cheetah speed and fuck off to the pub then come back and if the power station hadn't had a meltdown you were quids in.

I'm playing without cheats now. Loving it so much.

Here's hoping no GG types are playing and enjoying the game, considering how they feel about women with dyed hair.

So many particulars. So many questions.
the problem with not cheating oneself money to keep building is that you have to keep the city running which invariably means cutting education, police, fire and so on. I refuse to be that sort of god*

Of course, I bet you can't guess what I'm doing in between hiking taxes...
This is using the SinCity LUT mod, along with one of the camera mods, hide HUD mod, and the dynamic resolution mod (maxed out at 250% which works out as 4800x2700px downsampled to 1920x1080).
And this one with some cinematic LUT or another...

In your face GG
This game is getting cooler before I've even bought it. About to press that button.

on reddit or something
It's been in beta/early access for a while, I think, which has given people a headstart. Plus it's more open from the start, so modders don't have to find ways of breaking into it in order to integrate.

Think I might be buying this at the weekend, despite knowing that I also need to reinstall Elder Scrolls Online next week... RIP my spare time.

A very convenenient cold has left me just about well enough to play cities skylines all day.
I started a new city, now I know what all the bits do. It's more of a region, with little towns connected by railways and roads. Eventually it'll all merge into one like London:
Downtown:
Inner City:
TRAINS:
Seaside Town:
Commuter Town:
Rural Scene:
Hang on lads, I've got an idea:

There are no labour relations or grassroots politics in the game at all AFAIK.
I'm sure there will be a mod for it down the road
in the interviews it would seem they made a conscious decision not to have any politics, etc, they are a very small team, 8 at one point, It is getting superb reviews, especially those who have bought it, its sold over 250'000 copies already, its certainly is impressive, one million citizens! But is not my thing, didn't like CIM and the graphics are basic, very time consuming as well.

How much ram do you have? I have 8gb and I'm not sure that will be enough for next gen games, Witcher 3, etc, I have a HD6990 4gb card, still very powerful but crossfire(card is dual gpu) is rubbish

http://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/ <-- definitely a must for checking out some tips, and feeling woefully inadequate when looking at other people's cities.

First stumbling block - how do you hook up the sewerage system? I laid pipes below all the streets, but still everyone is complaining. 
Edit: Never mind, I figured it out - hadn't extended any power out to the water stations.

I have 13k population now. Starting to feel the traffic pain.
