SimCity Societies

Does anybody else has the feeling this is the start of a good jump to city/society simulators? Or a good jump for the SimCity franchise itself too. I'm gonna try it out for sure, maybe you'll be seeing screen-shots of Delfingrado and other cities of my RP nation from this game :p

Damn, I want this.... Thanks for pointing this out, Delf. It could be useful for all of us. (at least all us RPers... ;D)
Music is the key to the heart.

"Once art to me was something far off, unfathomable and unreachable... But I discovered that the real essence of art was not something high up and far off, it was right inside my ordinary daily self. If a musician wants to be a fine artist, he must first become a finer person. A work of art is the expression of a person's whole personality, sensibility, and ability." -Shinichi Suzuki

well, got a bit disappointing knowing it's like a modified version of other SimCities. I already have the game btw...

In any way, very nice...although I haven't yet felt the difference, I don't think the society plays differently from CiberPunk (the one I'm using the most) to Authoritarian (tried to put a "People's Square" and came out an hardcore fascist square with mostly no purpose. There's nice things to control, like traffic, I saw the firetrucks taking so much time to put the fire out and even more to go back to the fire station that I spammed public transports like Underground or Bus Station and now my streets and clean again.

Speaking about clean, you can build 100% clean city. Buildings using their own solar energy, solar power, wind turbines and whatever else. Bad thing is, they don't exploit all the possibilities of clean energy, they even have hydrogen plant, natural gas, and whatever else.

So...what this modified version doesn't let you do as much as the other games?
Well, you can't mess with economy, only with society and business economy, it's an harsh race to make them spend allot.

This has been looking good to me for a while now, so I think I'll download it from The Pirate Bay.

Copyright laws my ass.
