    New landscapes, new challenges, endless limits! Are you ready to think big cause the world just got a whole lot bigger in Cities: Skylines II.🗺️

    This one is a little light on new info compared to the others, but it's got some interesting little tidbits in there.

      The maps are actually smaller than CS1 modded. City Planner Plays has a breakdown on the math of it. The trade-off is that the vertical scale and ability to use more of the existing space make up for the smaller space.
