Xilia is a Governor city founded and owned by jay_planner, located at T3, T4, T5, and T6 on the MRT Taiga Line. Founded on April 18, 2015, Xilia is a modern-themed city with numerous office buildings and green spaces.
History
First construction (2015)
Xilia was founded on April 18, 2015, by Yellowitcher at T5 station on the MRT Taiga Line, near a small natural lake after he saw this area in Frumple's MRT Taiga Line timelapse. When Yellowitcher started building the city, the lake was removed and changed into Republic Square. He started the first building, the city hall, which was completed a day later.
The town grew at a slow pace, with Yellowitcher starting to develop the roads around Republic Square. He constructed the red and blue towers adjacent to the A8 and the Xilian Library. During the following months, buildings such as the bank, the hotel, and the melon market were built. The first franchises were built in Xilia and the metro Blue Line was opened between two stations. Yellowitcher also developed the road network an built the first park in the town, Xilia Park. Following this, Yellowitcher became bored with the city and its growth stopped for a while.
Growth and intercity connections (2015–2016)
After the summer 2015 break, Yellowitcher started working on Xilia again. Xilia was promoted to Councillor in September 2015 by lalaboy and mikefishr.
As soon as Xilia got Councillor, Yellowitcher decided to build roads to connect Xilia to its closest neighbours. Part of the B90 between Xilia and Cornus was built and the A8 exit was opened and T6 Station was claimed.
Yellowitcher added new buildings to the city, including the Mayoral Tower, a pharmacy, and the Witcher Corp Tower, and continued to build the metro. Terraforming began in the area where HSR Xilia was later built.
In October 2015, after several players visited Xilia and told Yellowitcher that Xilia was ready for Mayor, he asked for a promotion to Mayor and was promoted by CortesiRaccoon and MinecraftYoshi26 on October 10, 2015.
As Xilia was mayor, Yellowitcher asked RLcrafters, the CEO of RegionalConnect, to add a station on the line which goes near Xilia, leading to the creation of HSR Xilia beginning on November 10, 2015. The station was planned to be a high-speed train station as a part of the HS3 project between Xilia and Kenthurst.
In October 2015, The city joined League of Cities as an observer state.
The Olympic swimming pool, courthouse, farming tower, and the November 2015 Paris attacks memorial were added to the city. Yellowitcher started developing the Residential District and he began asking other cities to build embassies. Xilia University construction began. A hill near the city was chosen to become a Greek-themed district. More franchises were built in Xilia and empty buildings became mostly furnished. Following these changes, the city was promoted to Senator on February 14, 2016.
Senator and Governor (2016–2017)
Once Xilia was promoted to Senator, Yellowitcher and camelfantasy, the deputy mayor of the city at the time, started building the first maglev line between HSR Xilia and Formosa West. Xilia's growth continued, with the city expanding to the north. Nation Square was completed, with some old buildings in the Central District being demolished or sold to other cities. After Nation Square was completed, a pagoda, spleef arena, and various other buildings were built.
In August 2016, Xilia hosted the first edition of the New MRT Spleef Tournament. Yellowitcher, ezzocraft and Aliksong tried to form a Shared Municipality; however, it was rejected at the August 2016 GSM.
On November 27, 2016, Xilia-Saint-Exupéry Airfield began construction.
In December 2016, Xilia and the other cities of the New Delian League joined the United Cities. Following this, Xilia went through a quick time of inactivity. With the goal of getting Xilia to Governor, Yellowitcher decided to start a new development plan. A monument was inaugurated on April 18, 2017, for the two-year anniversary of the town. On April 30, 2017, the city was promoted to Governor.
Miscellaneous construction (2017–2023)
For the years following Governor, construction in Xilia would come in spurts. New transit connections were created in Xilia from companies such as RaiLinQ and BluRail.
On August 6, 2022, Xilia annexed Oakburgh from mdbro55 via Deputy Mayor succession.
On May 22, 2023, jay_planner resigned from Conductor and left the server, halting all construction in Xilia.
