Anyone still play city building games?

Lately, I am playing Caesar 4 and Pharaoh. I like them quite a bit, although Caesar 4 has some camera issues.

Anyone still playing these games? Its almost a dead genre right now.

I play SimCity 4 on occasion, and Cities XL looks pretty neat.

Still got Pharaoh installed on my PC.

It's been a while, but I'm looking forward for CitiesXl (and I still hate that name... they should have stayed with Cities Unlimited)

Tropico 3 is also a game I'm looking forward to play

i do like them and had some good fun with games like simcity, ceasar III (i think it was the third) and tropico. however i find they never keep me entertained or challenged for very long. once i find the trick to a sort of "balanced growth" formula, which all these games seem to contain, it doesn't take long for me to stop seeing the point of continuing. sounds like i might have to give pharaoh a go though,

How is CitiesXL? chandu83

I am waiting for Cities XL.

I wish I still had Zeus. That was one of my all time favorites. City building games are awesome. They are very relaxing

I haven't played a city building game since the original Sim City. Oddly enough, I like those games, but they were never my gaming priority. Dawn of Discovery looks great though. I should download the demo sometime tonight.

Ive been playign Sim City4 again lately, and although its not exactly the same kind of game, but Age Of Empires 3 aswell.

Last such game I played was Grand Ages Rome released this year which was pretty interesting, nothing new but still fun. I heard Anno 1404 is pretty amazing too, I am holding off buying it for now though.

Yep, still have Pharaoh installed and still play it regularly. I bought this game the week it came out in '99 :) and think it's the best from all these ancient city builder games. I have yet to play a game from Tilted Mill that i like despite those guys being the old Impressions team that created Pharaoh. But a new version is due - and to re-enforce - from someone other than Tilted Mill. Give them a 3rd chance to butcher another great game series.

If you like city building game, try Down of Discovery that has been recently out. It is amasing game! Great visuals, very complex build sturcture, and good campaign. What more can one ask?

I'm a big fan of city-builders. I think I've done them all: Pharaoh, Ceasars, Zeus, Emperor, City Life, Sim Cities, CivCity Rome, Grand Ages Rome, Imperium Romanum (I was pretty impressed by that, kept me busy for weeks), Tycoon City New York (also great), Children Of The Nile...and many more.

I wish somebody came up with a good city-builder, possibly set in Greece (I think it's safe to safe we're pretty much done with Roman locations). Tilted Mill could do something interesting, provided it wouldn't be as stupid as COTN.

Simcity Societies. I love this kind of games. You can be busy with this for a long time.mdgamer7

I recently bought Grand Ages Rome and intend on buying Dawn of Discovery. I played a little 1701 AD recently as well.
