The map sizes are small.

[Creamy P1e Skwert]

Cities Skylines 2 maps are tiny. In comparison to cities skylines. The new game has only 159km squared of buildable spaces, now this is 61 square miles, this is a tiny map. In comparison Cities Skylines had 324 square Km of buildable areas, or 125sq. Miles.

This means that cities skylines is double the size of the new game. Now someone will argue that the game is fun. What does that have to do with the Map sizes?

P.S. I meant 81 tiles =324 sq. Km.

I don't know if mods will be able to add onto the map sizes if the ground is not buildable outside the game border region, if it's not, we're stuck with a tiny map.

If only the 441 tiles are playable what are the remaining 88 tiles for? And if all 529 tiles are playable then why are only 441 of them purchasable? For that matter if all 529 are playable or buildable why make any of them purchasable?

Only CO knows. Same "logic" applied to C:S1. It's like you buy a memory stick with 16gb and the manufacturer makes 2 of them not available for data storage but just for display in the File Explorer.
Luckily I have a PC and can access the Steam Workshop so that limit won't affect me in C:S2; same way it did not affect me in C:S1.

Off topic I know but just watched DD#8 Climate & Seasons. Sure hope the feature comes with an On/Off option.

Oh and to ovehaithabu, Right again.
Dev Diaries sure leave a lot to be desired when it comes to the amount of useful information they provide.

Finally. Just beginning to understand the point of Hugh's Questions. :)

So Why Won't They Tell Us? 🙋🏼‍♂️

Hi, just bought the game. Is there are any beta avail or whatever? I read people talking about the game like they got hands on with the final or pre-final product and I can't distinguish them for those who saw a YouTube video and already have the solution to everything about anything in regards of whatever just because.

Thank you!

Don't worry, it will all become perfectly obvious in about 80 days :)

That, my friend, is the right question.

Great, Glad you approve. So? What's the right answer? Which is it? 159km² or 190km² and how may km² is 5 times larger?

[Bart]

The OP CreamyCowJuice seems to have pretty much nail it so far.

[Leopold Butters Stotch]

Seems like many people missed it, but dev diary #7 confirms the maps are 5 times larger. The devs clearly listen to what the community want which is awesome!

[Bart]

Oh we didn't miss it Butters. We just ain't buying. No need jumping in until we know the whole story.

Ok, I seriously facepalmed while reading through this thread, people don't seem to know how to do basic calculations.
*1 cs1 tile != 1 cs2 tile
*The figures published does not include moded sizes, just Vanilla, which cs2 vanilla is bigger than vanilla cs1 buildable area. Cs2 vanilla is still smaller than modded cs1 81 tiles, we don't know the modding situation for cs2 yet.

Please use your fingers to calculate and a search engine to find easily available information.

"To get started let's have a brief comparison between the map sizes. In Cities: Skylines the playable area consists of 5x5 tiles, 9 of which can be purchased once everything is unlocked. One map tile is 1.92 x 1.92 km which results in the total playable area being 92.16km² with a maximum of 33.18km² to build a city on.

In Cities: Skylines II things are a bit different. For starters, one map tile is much smaller - roughly ⅓ what it is in the predecessor - but you are able to unlock almost all tiles giving you a whopping total of 441 map tiles. That results in a playable area of 159km² which is roughly 5 times bigger than in Cities: Skylines."

Some people are just dense and believe they know more then the devs about a game they've never touched. At this point theyre just arguing in bad faith.
