If the wait time on your transit lines is too long then customers will grow dissatisfied and eventually leave the station. The connection between service levels, frequency, and customer satisfaction is made clear by the “wait time” indicator. This is not a city building game but the connection between density and transit service is made clear by the simple fact that even though you can build a subway to rural or suburban area, very few people will ride it. Like a real transit company, you must consider expenses for capital improvements such as stations and vehicles and also operational expenses such as labor and fuel/electricity. “Leisure” seems to include regional transportation hubs such as inter-city rail stations and airports. Your success of failure in the game depends on finding ways to efficiently provide service connecting residents with destinations such as workplaces, shopping, leisure, and government. There is (premium) downloadable content that adds electric trolleybuses, cable cars, and monorails. Your transit company has a variety of different vehicle types which it can use to meet the needs of the city’s residents: Buses, trams, Metro, waterbuses, and helecopters. In the campaign mode there are certain required missions which you must complete in order to “win” the scenario and unlock further scenarios. The most common mission is to connect two or more places together with a transit line. Your transit company operates without subsidies for the most part, though there are “missions” which often offer monetary rewards for their completion. There is also a “sandbox” mode in which you can play additional cities including player created cities and fictional cities. In the campaign mode the cities are all based on specific cities at specific historical periods, Berlin during the cold war for example. In Cities in Motion (a game by Colossal Order, published by Paradox Interactive), one assumes the role of a CEO of a transit company tasked with providing transit to a particular city. Fortunately, Alex Broner has boldly gone there in a guest post, so I don't have to!
But when you have two jobs and you're already devoting hours to a blog and a book and a remodel, there is only so much time for computer games. Overseeing the changing needs of people from 1920 to 2020, it’s up to you to manage everything from buses, trams and subway trains to maximize profits while pleasing commuters.Posted on Jin Guest Posts, Modeling, SimulationĮver since I posted on SimCity and SimCity 4 people have been telling me I must try Cities in Motion. Rendered in rich detail, some of the world’s greatest cities- await the steady hand of a planner to manage their transportation needs in Cities in Motion.
