Put Your City on the Map with Magic Maps

Cities: Skylines is all about crafting the city of your dreams, right? So, why not use Magic Maps to get your viewers involved from the get-go? When you start your stream, ask your audience, 'Where in the world are you tuning in from?' or 'Which city do you think has the best public transport?' As they drop their locations into the chat, you can show them popping up on a real-time map! It's super cool and makes people feel part of the action. Plus, it helps build a global community that's as diverse as the cities you're creating!

Voice the Viewers' Opinions

Got a controversial build plan up your sleeve? Maybe you're thinking of turning a park into an industrial zone for more revenue. Use an Open-Ended Poll to gauge your audience’s opinion. Ask them what they think and let their answers shape the future of your virtual city. It's a cool way to keep folks chatting and invested because everyone loves a good debate, especially when city planning's involved!

Boost Interaction with Live Polls

Want to know what public policy to implement in your city? Or curious about whether your viewers prefer trams or metro lines for city transport? Throw out a Power Poll! It’s a fun way to engage the chat and make them feel like they're part of your city planning committee. Plus, these polls show results in real time, so your audience gets immediate feedback, which is super satisfying for everyone involved.

Spin the Wheel for Happy Viewers

We all know that sometimes it can be hard to get the chat popping, especially during long building sessions. This is where the Winning Wheel comes in. Whenever you accomplish a major milestone in your city, like unlocking a new building or district, give your audience a chance to spin the wheel. You can pick a winner from those who've been active in the chat, boosting interaction. It's like a mini-lottery that everyone wants to be a part of – who doesn't love a good spin, right?

Create Buzz with Word Clouds

Word Clouds are a neat visual tool that can generate real hype. Ask quick-fire questions like 'What's the number one mod you can't play without?' or 'One word to describe this new district!' and watch as the chat's most popular answers puff up on-screen. Not only does it keep the chat lively, but it also gives you immediate insights into what your audience is feeling, without having to scan through endless comments. Plus, it looks super slick as part of your stream's layout.

Let Choice Circle Make the Tough Calls

Sometimes deciding what to build next can be a bit tricky, especially if you've got viewers suggesting ten different things at once. Use the Choice Circle to make life easier. Let your audience send in their ideas for your next development project, and let the wheel decide. This way, you’re not only involving them in decision-making but also keeping your stream's pace exciting and unpredictable!
