  • Welcome to Cities Skylines where today I am using my skills as a professional city planner to build the most profitable city in cities skylines using stock market manipulation and suffering! Effectively we are going to build The City of London 2. As you can tell this is not going to be your standard simcity city builder experience but rather a montage of exploiting cities skylines to break the new dlc and allow us to create the most profitable city possible with basically no effort. Now we have seen RT Game destroy cities with his powers as a mayor but I am a pro player when it comes to sim city and city building in general so get ready to watch as the spiffing brit beats all other records by using bugs and exploits to win.
    The following was written by an Ai because I think its funny:
    In this video, I show you how I exploit the suffering of my city in Cities Skylines to make infinite money. I show you the in-game mechanics I use to do this, and how you can do the same.If you're a city builder or city planner, this is a must-watch video! I show you how I use game mechanics to exploit the suffering of my city, and how you can do the same in your own city. I also reveal some tips on how to make the most of your city, and how to make money playing city builder or city planner games!

    Hey Spiff! Here's an exploit for Risk of Rain 2 that you could try. One of the epuipment items triggers your on-kill effects multiple times. Stack gasoline so any enemy death sets most of the map on fire, a few topaz broaches for free shielding, and suddenly everything on the map dies. I'm sure you can come up with some other items to add to it for even more fun.
