Lore of City Skylines

[Jostarus]

Hey !

I bought Skylines in the last sale and now i want tio start. But i have a little problem.
I come from CK2 and Stellaris and love roleplaying but alsoand building something up. My problem with Skylines is, that i can see no reasons for building a new city from the scratch (especially in europe where i live).
I had a few scenarios but they where not fully satisfying me:

- A wealthe person/ Company Building a city as a future project (like Spece X or something)
- Post Apocalytic scenario (but i think the buildings and techs (airplanes etc) are to good for Post apocalypse)
- A Capital for the UN (which is now a real nation) . But a World Capital with a pop-Cap of 1M seems odd.

Do you guys have any other idears? How do you justify yxour citys ? Are you even doing this or am i just crazy ?

You're just crazy, but who aren't?

Some ideas :

- Back to country : You've been elected as mayor (or leader) of a community that want to leave overpopulated city and go back to country. After a found raising to build motorway exchange, you're now in charge to develop the community.

- EU dictatorship : As EU successfully take control over all democratic process in european states, you, as a european commissar you're in charge to build a new city. Because some other commissar compute that founding a city to this exact place will be the most efficient way to make profitable the fuel station n°657 on the interstate E25.

The world ended. Humanitiy is no more. Everything is burned, and there are only few plants and bacteria left alive.

All that remains of humanity is stored in the Eternal Machine - super-computer designed to repopulate Earth once the biosphere is restored to a level that can sustain a human population. Once that level is reached, EM will order it's minion machines (nanobots) to build roads that lead from EM's human spawn points to several appropriate locations for cities.
EM will spawn several mayors and give each of them a certain amount of "money". This is a simple token mechanism that prevents each mayor from overusing minion machines. And further city development can even increase number of available minions.

Once a new city is built, EM will begin spawning humans that can populate all the cities.

Unfortunately, there is a slight problem with this...
If the mayor proves unreliable and manages his/her city badly, citizens must return to EM and be... recycled.

I think like Milton Keynes.

Overspill community from a much larger city that's run out of space, city gets huge, the cycle repeats.
