Zak Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 What's your favourite city building game? I've ploughed over a 1000 hours into Cities Skylines. It is far more accessible than Sim City series. Do you have a favourite? If so what and why?
The Blackangel Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 I don't know if it technically counts, but AOE2 would get my vote.
Kane99 Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 SimCity 2000 or 3000. I remember playing 2000 in my schools computer lab during class. I then got 3000 as a birthday gift. What I found funny, was that my dad found what looked like a used copy, as it was just the jewel case with no cover art. Always thought that was weird. Anyway, I played the hell out of that game. I especially remember using cheats to destroy my worlds. Was always a fun game to play.

I'd add fallout 4's settlement building especially with mods but that's another topic for another day.
skyfire Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Fallout is completly in it's own world for sure. A lot of votes would go for that.

skyfire Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Yes and on that part even minecraft could do that. very creative world inside those games.
Kane99 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Minecraft in a way yes, but I think when it comes to the city builder genre, it doesn't really fit. When I see city builders, I see stuff like SimCity, where you have to build literal cities. Sure you could do this in Minecraft, but it's not necessarily a city builder in the same regard. I hope I'm not confusing anyone.

Put NPCs in charge among a lot of other things as well. Each settlement even has their own economy.

skyfire Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 It was kind of that type game, easy to forget the game.. I think android mobile has plenty of tycoon type games.
Syntax Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Sim City is probably the best one in my opinion. Zoo Tycoon is also solid AF, same with Roller Coaster Tycoon.
Shole Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 City Skylines and if it counts Banished. I also love minecraft...I mean I use it to build my own cities with villagers and all that cool stuff.
