Cities: Skylines Campus DLC - These are the new contents
The Campus DLC for Cities: Sky lines is the latest major expansion for the city-building simulation. As the name suggests, the latest expansion is all about campus life. The focus is on building your individual university. You can choose between a business school, a college for the humanities and the classic university.
Another component in the Cities: Skylines Campus DLC is the development of university sports. These include basketball, baseball, football, athletics or swimming. By training cheerleaders and coaches, you'll control the success and revenue of your college sports team.
In addition, there are seven new city development policies such as book fairs, non-profit education and research grants. In addition, five new maps add variety to the gameplay of Cities: Skylines.
Cities: Skylines DLCs: University City and Radio Station
In addition to the major Campus DLC, developer Paradox Interactive released accompanying add-ons for Cities: Skylines. These include the Content Creator Pack: University City and the Radio Station Pack 3, which will give your city an authentic university look. With the Content Creator Pack, you can add 36 residential buildings, 32 commercial buildings and 15 campus-related props to the main game.
The Cities: Skylines expansion Radio Station Pack 3 enriches the song selection of the radio stations in the city area with new tracks. Included is dignified ambient sound for the Deep Focus Radio. Furthermore, new tunes for Campus Rock Radio, which mainly plays light rock and punk music. For both radio stations in Cities: Skylines there are about 16 new songs each in the Radio Station Pack 3 DLC.
How to expand your education system with the Campus add-on
Once you've installed the Campus DLC for Cities: Skylines, you'll find the new campus buildings in the expanded education menu, with each campus type having its own submenu. Building your campus starts with the Campus Area tool (in the Neighborhoods and Areas menu). With the help of this tool you can draw the area for the campus area, as you know it from city districts, industrial areas or parks.
Initially, each campus is created as a general campus area. You change this by constructing an administration building, after which you choose one of the three types of universities. You can choose between a business school, a college of humanities or a university. The basic function of all campus types is to educate young adults to become highly educated citizens.
However, each campus has unique faculties that activate various citywide bonuses. In addition, each campus type allows for exclusive scientific work, as well as a museum where you can display the work. You'll choose the trade school type if you want to promote topics such as clothing, video games or new technologies in your city. Their students not only improve the quality of life, but construct buildings using 3D printing or offer slow food to go.
The College of Humanities is the place in Cities: Skylines where your artists really flourish. The activities of the humanities include music, literature or filmmaking. On the other hand, if you build a university, your students will primarily generate new knowledge. With a little luck, you'll also research technologies that can even replace the theory of relativity.
Cities: Skylines - The unique faculties of the Campus DLC
There is no right or wrong when it comes to choosing an academic focus. If you decide to build the School of Commerce, you'll expand your Cities: Skylines city with the Police Academy, Engineering School or College of Tourism and Travel.
Building the College of Humanities will give you access to the Faculties of Education, Environment or Economics. Cities with a classical university have access to the Faculties of Law, Medicine and Natural Sciences. All faculties function as educational buildings and at the same time increase the attractiveness of your campus.
Think carefully about which type of campus your city needs most, as the associated faculties are expensive and o stentatious. If you want to fight crime, the School of Commerce is most likely to help you. The faculties of the College of Humanities will increase the income of broad sections of the population, while the classical university will especially provide you with more knowledge.
Here's what you need to keep in mind for the Campus DLC of Cities: Skylines
In order for your campus area to develop well, you'll have to increase the reputation of your university. To do this, you'll have to fulfill increasing requirements in the categories of academic work, number of students, and the attractiveness of the campus. You increase the attractiveness of the campus primarily by constructing new campus buildings. These in turn attract new students and academic staff.
The higher the number of your students, the more likely they are to write a particularly good scientific paper, which in turn increases your campus reputation. As your reputation level increases, new campus buildings become available to you. In addition, the tuition fees increase, so that your campus can even make a decent profit. When you open the Education Info View window, you'll find all the important info and metrics about the campus area.
Clicking on the campus name will also show you the campus budget. This allows you to check what costs you are incurring and whether your campus is making a profit. Since the campus areas can grow large, create enough space for expansions right from the start. To play the campus expansion you need the main game Cities: Skylines (.
