This week has been intense! We have been working on a smaller patch to celebrate the start of the 2016 UEFA European Championship and tomorrow there will be a free football (the REAL kind) related mini DLC available for free!

Alongside the mini DLC there will be a small patch to fix a few issues and adding the pre-order content for everyone to enjoy. Most interesting adjustments in the patch are the solar power plants producing now 70% of the daytime output and After Dark's Tourism specialization attracting more tourists. The full patch notes are listed below.

The team at Colossal will continue to work hard on bringing new content and improvements to Cities: Skylines in the future and I hope you enjoy this little update in the meanwhile!

• Possibility to customize football team colour

That is a very nice DLC, thanks a lot.

Especially the players from The Netherlands will appreciate it. They can now make an orange team and pretend they participate in the tournament

 

[NoSkillz]

It's soccer. lol

Great to see more animations in the game; they're needed

dude.
Everywhere in the world except for the US it's called football. I bet even Aliens would call it football, because the ball is mostly played with your foot.

Don't get me wrong, I love American Football even more than football, and I don't have an issue with people calling football "soccer", because that's the term they've learned when they grew up, but it's about time US Americans stop being dicks & pseudo-correcting other people when they use the term football to refer to the game only you call soccer.
Get over yourselves, US-Americans.

mind that all aliens don't have feet

Fixed: Expansion 1: Design: Tourism Specialization does not attract more tourists

I wondered why my tourist numbers started to go up, from 350 to 1200! well done CO

It was a joke. We know it gets under your skin to call it soccer.

 

[metacritical]

a bit like calling american football handegg?

Yeah Cleese was right.

I have a question about the new DLC. While playing, the football match mechanics mentions about subsidized youth being 9,000 per week multiplied by the number of stadiums. However, we're allowed to only build one. Am I missing something? Does the stadium need to be around for a certain amount of time or does your team need to win a certain amount of games? Population matter? Just a question from a player who is posting for the very first time.

Thanks,
Pit

 

[Mca101]

CO, can this football mechanic be used on steam workshop stadiums (of which there are quite a few) including those that were created prior to this patch?

No, it really isn't.... Football in Australia is this.

Soccer is this.

 

[vukica]

No, it really isn't.... Football in Australia is this.

Soccer is this.

I'm really missing a LOL button here.

 

[Phil V]

@ CubicPoison.

1. I am not looking for any attention, so no I'm not a troll.
2. I will not reply any further, the fanboys have convinced me the game isn't worth it.
3, I've uninstalled the game anyway.
3. I'm not offended in any respect.

 

[Keltia_Vikinga]

No, it really isn't.... Football in Australia is this.

Soccer is this.

oh again with that topic. Indeed our football is actually soccer.

True a small manual for stadium would be welcome...

Vive la France! (2-1)

 

[Robban040]

So anyway, I havnt found anything from the latest update? Cant see any football stadium in my inventory. All I've seen so far is the carousel park and the Bouncy caste park...anyone else got the same issue?

 

[Silvar55]

You have to download the football DLC ("Match Day") separately on Steam - it isn't added automatically to your game. Same as any other DLC - paid or free.

 

[Robban040]

Oh thought it was a automatic update. Thank you mate!

 

[kitnitwit]

Could The Matches be closer together. currently one a year doesnt pay for what is around about 13,000 $ a week
more fixtures please
