Looks super fun. Even though it's not the type of games I play, this looks interesting enough to give a try.

I want more of this.

This game reminds of what I always wanted to make in the Age of Mythology editor. I never knew how to work cameras and shit in that game.

Been waiting for this game for a long time.

That's a shitload of stuff on the screen. I remember playing Rise of Nations, which, albeit a simpler game.. It was loads of fun. [sp]Until nukes became pretty much instagib rush..[/sp]

this looks pretty relaxing to play

I don't get it. This is exactly the same city building game that's been around for over a decade. Pharaoh, Zeus, Caesar, the Anno series, Stronghold, Tropico, Settlers. Why the soft hype?

All those games have a sandbox mode, though. It just feels like we've reinvented the wheel after not having seen a real city builder come out for a few years.

That tree cutting sound is something I would never get tired of hearing. This looks so comfortable to play. It's so fucking relaxing.

The weather in this is really well done. I have a soft spot for well made virtual rain.

Haven't felt hype this bad since Battlefield 3. At least I know this won't bite back like a Pitbull when it comes out..

It's been so long since I've played a good city sim. HD versions of Pharaoh and Caesar when.

February 18th is the release date!

Hope we get diagonal roads, though.

I hope there is more life in those citizens because it honestly looks bland. Cool but bland. Stronghold's peasants felt alive, this feels kind of lifeless.

[QUOTE=Incoming.;43554442]Hope we get diagonal roads, though.[/QUOTE] Curved roads would also be nice.

[QUOTE=Gustafa;43555968]Curved roads would also be nice.[/QUOTE] The game is grid based. Placing houses near curved roads isn't really easy but I guess it could work having 2 types of roads. Grid based and Free Mode (that makes it impossible to build on squares taken by a curved road) [editline]16th January 2014[/editline] So you have grid based for building your city, and free mode for linking your zones.

[editline]16th January 2014[/editline] Anyone getting some Pharaoh vibes from this? That game was the shit back when still used an XP computer with 256mb of RAM.
