On a more serious note here's some bird's eye views on my cities:
My first city
My second city
My third city (my fave so far): City center, airport area, mining area, and WIP commercial area (it's completed by this point)
We’re talking about Cities: Skylines here? Man, it has been a while since I’ve last played it.
This was the most recent city I’ve built:

Sorry about the white roads, it just finished raining when I took the pic so the roads are still shiny

It was also my first city where I tried propping some area to make it more beautiful and I have to say I’m really liking this

The middle park thing actually functions somewhat. Cims could use the pavement connecting from the road and walk to their block immediately instead of having to walk a big circle.
I stopped playing mainly because I got too overwhelmed with all the mods I’ve installed and was worried that I might bit off more than I can chew. Decided to get back into the game recently but, with the Parklife expansion out, a lot of my favourite mods like RICO and M.O.M. have yet to be updated yet and so I have to wait longer.
Oh boy

Since we're posting Skylines cities, I've always enjoyed the Euro tileset because I love mid-rise buildings. My one major gripe with Skylines is that it doesn't have a mid-density zoning option like SC4 which would allow for you to incrementally change the density to expand your city without putting too much strain on the infrastructure. I prefer the look of european cities with a smattering of highrises, or the sprawl of American cities with clearly defined CBD's than the shit mess that is most Chinese cities or (apologies in advance) Vancouver.
This is an old city anyway, it was by no means finished but it's one of my favourites, despite the seemingly horrific pollution.

Loading it up after so long, the crew at the nuclear plants to the far left of the screen seem to have gone all cthulhu f'tagn.
I also shut off the plant at Opel Point because it would not stop catching fire.
I'll have to pick this city up again over the weekend, I gifted myself some dlc in the last sale and not really given them a whirl.

This just makes me want a HoI game with Victoria 2 tier politics
Add economics and oh man, that would be the ultimate Grand Strategy game ever. Take control of a country from 1836 all the way to the end of Cold War.
East vs West

Now the real important is, do the flag change whenever a new area is granted statehood?
Hm it wouldn't be hard (cosmetic tags), but I can't see Paradox doing it.
They'll do it if they can charge $3.99 for it.
something that small would be in the expansion.
Yeah I've heard a lot of people complain about there being no medium density, it's a shame that CS doesn't have it because it would really improve the gameplay.
The Mass Transit DLC is great, I've been getting a lot of use out of it recently. The Parklife DLC is also a nice one to use.

I redid my interchange (old pic for comparison):

I also managed to remove the stoplight between the outbound traffic from the city and inbound traffic from the tunnel across the river. Now all the traffic flows very smoothly.
That will helped ideology mods (especially Modern Dawn) to see what party control of what seat and depends maybe make voting system mechanics thanks to this build.
wow no facepunch shout out, im boycotting this mod.
is the jihad achievement possible from this point
