I really rather like Cities Skylines and have recently been enjoying modded runs over several different maps.

But I must admit, these small cities are limiting. Let us say I hit the 1-million mark. In the real world, that would leave about 350 cities larger, some quite considerably so.

I want to build a London, an Istanbul, a Shanghai, a Mexico City, a Tokyo!

Or I want to build something sprawling over a vast map, not one limited to something like 324 square kilometres when something, say, as relatively modest (nowadays) as Greater London is 5 times that size while Greater Tokyo is 40 times bigger. I want a 90-by-90-tile map!

And I'd like a traffic model traffic that mimics real life, not one where cities of 500,000 need a better metro system than Shanghai or New York and everyone drives in one lane. :)

Obviously, this is utterly impossible until 2038, when our 500-core, quasi-quantum, 1TB RAM computers will be up to the task. :)

Until then I shall happily play Rather Large Towns Skylines and its next iteration Relatively Modest Cities Skylines.

Thanks! :)
