That might be fun but all I saw was East US, West US, Europe and Oceania. Users can make their own servers?

No, sorry. Ceciltopia is the private region I created specifically for multi-Doper play. You can find it on the “North America East 2” server. Friend me on Origin, username TerminusEst920, and I’ll send you an invite. See the previous link for more details.

I posted this on the multiplayer theread, but it’s relevant even if you’re playing alone, so I’ll repost this here:

It’s really easy to expand very quickly in the early game. You can fill up the whole space, rezone to high density, and get towering skyscrapers, only to find that it’s unsustainable. I’m rather glad that my picturesque area prevented me from laying down grids all over the place, leading to slower and hopefully more sustainable growth.

One thing I’ve found is that, while that factory is being rebuilt, no one is working there (DUH) and you’re not getting any tax income. Then when construction is finished, it still has to rehire the workers who also have to find the factory first; you’re still not getting any tax income while this is going on. If you’ve rezoned an entire district, all the factories may be rebuilt at once, leading them to compete for workers thus resulting in none of them getting enough.
