Setting up your City & Border Expansion.
(a): When starting a city, it is best to look at the Create DynMap, located here. It should automatically load on the SimCity (Flattwo). If it doesn't, use the Navigation bar on the right and click either the 'Flat' or 'Surface' option for the SimCity world, either one will do, it's your choice!
(b): New cities should be at least 200 blocks away from any neighbouring cities. The further away cities are spaced, the better! If in the event you are struggling to find somewhere to build, you can ask one of our staff members to find somewhere to build.

(b): Building roads does not claim territory. This however does not mean that you were permitted to grief & modify them in any way you choose. However, this does mean that you may build a city close to that road.
