This "saving your save file" is a really cool concept, you should do more. It's really interesting to see others cities, playstyle, what they have been missing out or done wrong and how you would fix it.

[@OshanMan]

Cheers mate, it's an idea I adapted from other games KZbinrs play :) I agree with all your points there, just haven't gotten around to doing another one, unfortunately. Also there's only one save file left, kinda been lacking people sending them in 😅

[@securatyyy]

I second this

I can't believe there is a regional recruitment option, i'm also doing this guy's mistake of sending my city troops around the world map.

[@OshanMan]

I think it's probably necessary to do so to take your first region but after that, it's a safer idea to use them to supplement a world map army than be it :)

There is so huge contrast with my cities. Tourists coming to him from my city will be like going from Delhi to Canberra. In my cities you wont find any road piece 2 tiles wide, because if they can walk through 1 tile, then more width is a waste of space. Each tile is used. Trees, humidifiers, benches, torches, placed on each street wider than 1 tile. Yes, I have street width 1, 3, 5. Streets of width 1 are just narrow passages if there are many small buildings instead of big with many rooms. Streets with width 3 can fit road and two rows of small decorations on both sides or road on the side and one row of medium (2x2) decorations. Streets of width 5 are like main avenues, there can be fit hearths, wells, trees 3x3, markets, food stalls. You will find 2x2 torches only there, because there is some space that they cover efficiently. Speaking of buildings, my district is typically several big structures with inner passages, or just rooms with several entries so you can walk through the building. This saves some space and resources, because we build less walls. Inner walls are present only where inner dimension exceeds 7 tiles and additional maintenance could appear. Each production building has room with warehouse and hauler, each tile that worker has to walk to grab resources is important. Also I always check isolation of rooms. Sometimes it is possible to remove a piece or two of outer wall, and place additional humidifier or tree, without harm to isolation. Unfortunately I didn’t get used to plan city in squares. So when new block is going to be added, hell begins. If lets say row of houses is 8 tiles wide, and block next street is 10 tiles, i need to come up with what is going to fill that space. So my streets organically grow and give branches of smaller streets, buildings between them have different size. But now I understand that in order to play at least 1yr per hour I need to weaken this OCD😂

[@pengraveth800]

Same, I derive pleasure from not wasting space. It's slower, but its a single player game. Just do what makes you happy!

[@wishiwasaneet26816]

What usually kills my games is over reliance on regions and inevitably imploding in a domino effect, or several powers colluding to end me.

[@OshanMan]

This is why it's a good idea to stock up on goods and build a solid foundation before spreading yourself wide. You could also maybe do some cheeky diplomacy and turn a major player against the others. Would love for you to send in a save if you'd like :)

[@samuelmontenegroserniotti7146]

The slaves rebelled in the town AFTER they changed ownership. This means they where the Dondorians slaves. This means you should take it as a declaration of war from them for attacking you with THEIR slaves lmao. Literally killing 2 birds with one stone.

[@simplygames6611]

One of my games got ruined by two factions declaring war on me, one of which instantly wanted peace, 703 denari and 7 meat after winning against nothing. And the second one somehow lost to my army of 197 with absolutely no weapons/armor; giving me 3.9M denari and like 30k in other resources. Mind you, I had a population of about 700 and had absolutely no idea how to even fight or send my army out. Haven't touched that since cause I have a feeling I'm going to get gutted by some other faction

[@Seleneium7]

It might be a bit min maxy but I'd guess that this city doesn't need 1/3 of its service buildings. I add services slowly and monitor their demand over time. As it's easier to add more before taking on the extra pop. Than it is to remove underutilised services and suffer fulfilment issues.

[@OshanMan]

Nothing wrong with a bit of optimising but yeah, it's probably a bit overserviced in some aspects and underserviced in others. Seems like you have a good process going and I agree with it being a lot easier to remove unused services than quickly build needed ones :)

[@jammies1431]

Is it possible to protect a warehouse that stores weapons to avoid them stealing materials for uprisings?

[@Clemartydu85]

He said in the video by putting them within multiple guardposts areas, hope it helps waiting for his answer :)

[@OshanMan]

What I like to do is to make an enclosure using stone fortifications and give it a single, gated entrance. Then I put all of my army supply depots there and the majority of my weapons storages. I put guardposts inside this enclosure and if it has room, usually I place my barracks in there as well. If you only have one of these it's probably a good idea to put the throne in it as well. What this does is keeps my capital garrison near all of the important materials and also lets me clearly see if anyone is making suspicious moves, since there's basically just a single place to look out for. If the guardposts have good coverage, then they should be able to detect thefts and arrest the suspects also. Not sure how effective all this is but it's certainly better than leaving everything out in the open and easily stolen :)

[@jammies1431]

Appreciate you both! I’ll try this out. I’ve survived by cheesing it with mercenaries so my play style needs to change drastically.

[@DreamingBlindly]

I might personally need some coaching specifically on how to stop growing too fast XD

[@BucketBoatable]

I'm currently coming back to the game, having finally purshased it, last time I played was like v54? Just when nurseries were added I wish I could have shared my map-spanning citiees with sub-divisions for each type of production, their own amenities (with dedicated haulers keeping local mini-warehouses stockpiled with all the foods and some tools repair supplies), a massive retirement center, a massive warehouse complex that had exports and inports of all resources around it and also military suppies packing stations. All end products were shipped to these warehouses. The city was surrounded with three layers of wall and moat. Damn, gotta rebuild it. Ps: would you do save vids with mods?

[@OshanMan]

Sounds like a sick city, you should definitely have a go at rebuilding it :) Unfortunately, I will not be saving cities with mods.

[@vorvv]

wondering if you could take a break from saving files on songs of syx to saving my life

[@OshanMan]

You okay bro? Do you need me to call emergency services for you? If it's not immediately life threatening, the folks at Lifeline should be able to help, their number is: 13 11 14 You can also contact them online at their website: www.lifeline.org.au/ Sorry I can't do more since I don't have a car or anything, I hope you get the help you need
