[unmerged(387152)]

Hi, any chance of an update/tease of the secret project that might be happening with CIM2? That's if Paradox gave you guys the all clear of course.

I'm hoping we can tell you guys soon what's happening... Patience

Which DLC tab do you mean? http://store.steampowered.com/dlc/225420/

Not my screenshot.

 

[baolong]

I want to know about this . Have some preview video　？

 

[Senap]

Nice and unexpected.

I never got the monorail DLC for CiM1. Do any of you guys care to share any thoughts about how this may work, if you bought it for CiM1?

 

[eis_os]

Yeah, a new DLC was registered:

-> List of DLCS

And changed quite fast:

What do you mean? In CIM1 monorails was a hack, it replaced trams and used a new kind of metro rails (that look and work like monorails)

 

[gsandi]

I sure hope it's more than monorails, not that I would complain if we got them.

More than anything I want to see railway stations of various types (stub, pass-through, big, small) and metro lines doubling as railway lines, with custom-made trains. Without such, no city transport simulation can be realistic. Even Vancouver, where I live, has 2.5 trains scheduled a day. (As opposed to my previous residence, Geneva, which had 500 or so).

Monorails ought to be a cool addition - I just hope they're done as a proper additional vehicle class, not (as eis_os mentioned) just a replacement/mod of an existing type. I wonder what the monorail characteristics will be like vs metro and tram (I know we had some small discussion of this in the monorail suggestion thread)?

Maybe the monorail will have the characteristics of the pre-metro designs people have made? It may also have streetcar style characteristics, where it can be very versatile.

You missed a lot from CiM 1 then. A lot. Monorails in CiM 1 came with an entire set of japanese buildings, Tokyo DLC, new city, new campaign, new props. Was the best DLC of CiM 1. Plus the city was at night instead of day.

Monorails were very versatile, I used them in all my games. You could cheaply go over buildings and make fast routes without worrying about traffic. Also monorails fit more people than trams and its cheaper than metro. I really like them.

Sure monorails "replaced" trams in CiM 1, but that was easily changed with a mod, where you could have all modes of transport at once. I hope in CiM 2 we won't have to worry about that.

Ah ha, i been checking this forum every day for the next big thing and now we finally know. shame on you steam!

 

[aj1304]

If so, this will be really cool. I hope that CO included some of the suggestions from the Monorail suggestion thread

 

[andos]

Sounds pretty cool, but what about some official campaigns?

 

[Jinzor]

CiM 2 needs more than just monorails, campaigns, maps or vehicles to get me playing again. This game desperately needs an expansion which revolutionises/mixes up/adds a major new feature to the core gameplay. Lots of awesome ideas/suggestions have been posted already.

We're working on it! However it will take quite a lot of time, but we hope you stay tuned for new stuff!
