Miryang is also the city of cultural tourist destination and superb cultural relics and picturesque places combined with beautiful nature The inclusion of the word "also" really sells this slogan. This game rules hard, and I'm already enjoying learning a little bit about Korean cities too!

I was kind of hovering between Busan and Miryang, but it looks like Miryang has more space to work with due to lack of sea. Also, that slogan.Klingon w Bowl Cut posted:Miryang is also the city of cultural tourist destination and superb cultural relics and picturesque places combined with beautiful nature

Results: Daejeon 23 Cheongju 4 Busan 14 Miryang 18 Pyeongyang 1 It looks like It's Daejeon.  I will build an initial small village and start us off there while nursing my New Year's hangover. I have never actually been to Daejeon beyond the train station/passing through on the KTX so my version will not resemble reality. I am going to use the local dong names for districts though.

My favorite bit is the colors that don't quite fill in the gaps in the letters, and the green that goes outside the lines. For that "intern was paid $0 to make this" look.

I'm certain it was made in MSPaint and the person responsible was told to make the slogan/flag at most 30 minutes before they had to present it as a finished product.

Is Daejeon really that bad? Serious question here, never been to Korea and don't plan to at the moment (at least, not unless they open a whole load of halal restaurants).

Daejeon is just a generically forgettable Korean city. The only reason it attracts attention is expats find the slogan particularly funny for being so low effort and yet, somehow, accurate.

Part 1: January, 1954 The Korean War ended after three years of brutal fighting up and down the entire Korean peninsula. Much of the countryside had been ravaged during the colonial period to feed the Japanese Empire's need for raw material, and the Korean War flattened just about everything else. Busan was the only city of any real importance to survive the war with little damage.  The area known as Daejeon was no exception. Located on routes to major military centers at Gunsan and Daegu, Daejeon had been rolled through by the North Koreans then rolled back through by the UN forces. Not much survived.  For Koreans though, getting steamrolled by neighbors using their country as a battlefield was hardly a new experience.  This time though, they had an advantage. The United States poured aid into the country, intending to rebuild it as a bulwark against the nearby communist hordes of the USSR, China, and North Korea.  The people of Daejeon got to work building a new city to replace what they lost.   So, here is Daejeon as it stands now. It is a single eup, an administrative division in South Korea that you could translate as uh. Village I suppose? Usually an eup is a lightly populated area within the orbit of a major city, but we're going to make Daejeon great again and turn it into the major city of the region. As districts become more urban they will transition from ri to eup to myeon to dong.    Things are too clean and the highway is really out of place but C:S requires it, so try to ignore such weirdness. President Syngman Rhee, a man after the coveted Worst Romanization Award, has given us the directive to make Daejeon a real city. The United States has generously provided a good amount of startup capital, which I'm sure will have no strings attached whatsoever. Feel free to make other suggestions, but there are three main paths I can see. We can heavily expand farming. South Korea is experiencing serious famine, so more farms would be useful. We can invest in industrial production and start building some factories. The other option would be quality of life stuff, allow the town to grow a little bit but see if we can't find like, a doctor or something to live here. The rivers here are also really swampy, it appears. We may want to think about flood control walls eventually.

Asehujiko posted:My only other city builder experience is setting up huge masses of castles and towers in age of empires 2, could you go over the mechanics of what the colours/icons mean in this game? Sure. Green zones are residential. Light green is low density, think single family houses, while dark green is high density for big apartment buildings. Blue is commercial. Again, light is low density (a gas station, maybe) while dark is high density (malls/skyscrapers). Yellow is industrial. There's no density here, but industry has five categories. Generic, which makes factories. Oil extraction, ore mining, forestry, and farming are the specialized types. Then there's uh... I'm partly colorblind but like a light blue/gray color? That's offices to employ the educated. The floating icons you see on the map are all complaining about different issues. There's a lot of different types. They're things like needing garbage pickup, crime issues, bad healthcare, noise complaints, etc. The ones visible up there are need heat, need workers, and abandoned buildings. The city currently has electricity because the game requires all buildings to be powered, but for the sake of planning we should behave as if there is no electricity or central water system right now.

Okay I'm already digging the narrative. Kinda curious how the behind the scenes stuff like the busted, stranded ships and the remnants of military bunkers were realized, but maybe some magic deserves to stay behind the scene. Anyway, let us become the backbone of the region, a true foundation. Expand on farming, and grow from there.
