Version 1.7.4

Regions are here. You can now pick between different maps when starting a new city.

  • New region selector on the title screen. Instead of a dropdown you get a carousel with coat of arms, map size and rules for each region. Works with gamepad too (LB/RB to cycle).
  • Alborina is the classic 64x64 map you already know. Standard rules, nothing changed.
  • Campara is a big 128x128 map (6.55 km²). It starts you with a $100M loan at 6% interest over 10 years. You also get 2x gifts per level-up to compensate for the larger buildable area. To unlock Campara you need to reach level 20 in Alborina.
  • Approval points required to level up was adjusted again. Level 20 cities will go back to level 16.
  • Loan repayments show up as a new line in the budget report. The city pays a fixed monthly installment (principal + interest) regardless of your cash balance.
  • Immigration got smarter about jobs. When your city has unfilled specialist positions the sim now reserves extra immigration slots for workers with the right profession. Before this immigrants picked professions randomly and you had to hope for the best. Now if you have 6 open teacher jobs the sim will try to attract a teacher.
  • Schools batch-hire up to 5 teachers at once instead of posting one opening at a time. This means new schools staff up way faster.
  • Job matching is now ordered. Specialist openings (teacher, doctor, etc.) get processed before generic ones so a teacher doesn’t accidentally get hired at a retail store.
  • Bus stop reachability fix. Buildings near a bus stop that isn’t on any active route were wrongly counted as transit-accessible. Now a bus stop only counts if it belongs to a route with at least 2 stops and a valid path between them.
  • Fixed F12 screenshots on Windows and Linux Steam builds.
