Hello everyone!
I used to post multiple suggestions during development stage and then I shut my mouth once the game was released. There was simply nothing to say, just a great game to enjoy. Congratulations Mariina, Karoliina, and other dudes with a double i in their first name working at CO.
Now I'm opening my mouth again, but only because I know you're working on a DLC to bring tunnels in C:SL. One of the greatest feature in both CIM1 and CIM2 was the underground view. In CIM1, we could follow cims from the street getting in the metro and grabbing their train. That was great. In CIM2, people were teleporting which was a bit weird, but the freedom we had to build our lines was outstanding. I've built fully underground motorways below my CBD and it was so fun to watch cars in it.
In C:SL, everything is still simulated and quite well,, but it is represented abstractly; from the transport view, with cubes for trains and people becoming all colorized. This gives the feeling it's only a fake statistical stuff whereas it's actually all simulated. It's really a pity to realize that everything is there except the possibility to bring the camera in and explore what's happening below ground. I miss badly my favourite "U" shortkey from CIM games.
Those who haven't experienced it in CIM cannot know. It's like making the city tridimensional, with the ground dug on multiple levels, but with everything still looking charming and cute above ground. When there's a jam at an intersection, building an overpass looks very heavy, giving a very concrete feel to the city... but building an underpass allows to keep the nice and charming athmosphere to the city. It's hidden, but we only need to press "U" to check what's going on.
So... yeah... it would be great if tunnels weren't only tunnels, but if that DLC would make the subterranean universe becoming alive.
