• Citybuilding games to play?
    15 replies, posted
I played Starcraft yesterday, and noticed that I really wanna play a citybuilder game. Anyone got some ideas? Something similar to Starcraft/Warcraft, Stronghold: Crusaders, Rollercoaster Tycoon, etc.
simcity 4, hands down. Anno 2077, as well.
Tropico is a good series of citybuilders.
If you like tounge-in-cheekiness, the Tropico games are pretty good. Tropico 4 is, however, literally the exact same game as Tropico 3, so just get the third one and save your dosh.

[QUOTE=Bordellimies;38849605]I've always been somewhat interested in Tropico, never played any of them yet. Which one is the best (and why)?[/QUOTE] To be honest I've only had experience with 3, but 1, 3, and 4 all all good from what I hear. 2 is something completely different.
[QUOTE=Bordellimies;38849605]I've always been somewhat interested in Tropico, never played any of them yet. Which one is the best (and why)?[/QUOTE] I would say 4. It runs better (on my machine), it's more colorful and the best improvement: You get a lot of goals in every scenario instead of only one.
[QUOTE=Bordellimies;38849605]I've always been somewhat interested in Tropico, never played any of them yet. Which one is the best (and why)?[/QUOTE] If you wanna spend the money, get 4. If you don't really feel like spending that much, 3 is the same game, so it's sufficient.
+1 for sim city 4. Make sure to get the expansion as well

I enjoyed Sim City 3000
Simcity, Anno, Tropico. You're pretty much golden with any of those.

It is pretty much the same game, but better optimized, with better missions and smoother gameplay.
Tropico 4 is a polished and finished Tropico 3. "Modern times" DLC is a must have - it enables timeline so you get new types of buildings as the time progresses.
Black and white 2 is good fun, although it isn't a city builder. You can make awesome cities and villages.
You can go for Cities XL. It's a decent city-builder. Kinda like Simcity but a few things that are different, some better, some worse.
