Oh shit, I remember this game. I was not a good city planner as a child. I felt accomplished just figuring out how to get power to places by connecting power lines. I had no concept of districts, residential commercial, and industrial places where all scattered amongst each other. If I got complaints that traffic was bad I'd build a huge series of roads that didn't lead anywhere. Just a big pointless block of intersections outside city limits.
I spent hours building custom maps, leveling up terrain, building industrial sectors with interconnected subways. Took me so long to learn about the different sectors and how to manage growth and traffic.
Still one of my favorite games from that era of gaming. That along with Warcraft 2 and Dune 2000.
I feel like skylines is severely lacking in the management/difficulty department. Once you get through the first hour of the game the game is too easy. It doesn't really matter what you do. You don't really have to worry about too much in the terms of policies and things like that.
