I personally agree with those changes!
Hi! I didn't notice the link becoming invalid, sorry! here's a new one https://discord.gg/9Gaabhhj
We now have our own speedrunning discord server for both Cities skylines and Cities Skylines II https://discord.gg/q3hDXP43 Come here for discussions about meta and the overall shape of cities skylines speedrunning
I've set up Any%, All tiles%, 100k, 10k, and 1k categories. Let me know if you want any more categories/subcategories added or removed.
I'm not sure about the viability of all tiles% but we'll see, it might actualy work
How much does it cost to unlock all of them? Isn't it possible with a little bit more cost effective park taxi stall (400$ for 80Points) spamming?
Or do we want to prohibit all exploits from this one?
I feel that no matter what we try, people will still be incentivised to spam to progress quicker and we will Quickly get into the territory where it is highly debatable whether someone put those 3 recycling centers because it profited the city, or because they will help them progress and get free cash for that.
That's why i disabled the Real% category and put 100k% in it's place. In my mind Any% is the spam one, but it also is the canonical way of "completing" the game by achieving the highest city status and unlocking most of the content.
So Any% is the spam one and the only things not incentivising spamming are population based goals like 100k, 10k, 1k(?), propably not a mil but if somebody finishes a mil run then why not, we'll add it.
What do you think about this plan? What population goals are the most sensible?
Also Pro9amer, do you want to be a moderator? I'm unsure of how dedicated are the other 2 mods, as this page wasn't even set up for few days and i had to set things up myself. I will gladly accept help with veryfing future runs, i have ADHD and tend to switch hobbies in quick succesion, so in case i ever forget about moderating, another dedicated person would be helpful.
and okay, there is 100k pop category too.
oh yeah 100k goal could be worth it
wait imma set it up
Also, love seing you back! You are a legend of Cities Skylines speedrunning community.
Unfortunately behind a paywall, so the run is unverifyable at this point ;// Please upload the run onto Youtube and submit the run again EDIT: if you don't want to set the run up again, just change the link and i can still verify this one i think.
The leaderboards have been filled out! All of the maps have at least one run. Can't wait for Cities Skylines 2 to drop
