What are your favorite city building games?

It's nice but I've become addicted to mods. I cannot play without them.
And said mods keep breaking completely with every update to the game.

>winding hallway filled with spike traps
This shit is part of why I don't bother with it

I'm too ADHD to play long enough for an update to come out so that problem kinda solved itself

SimCity 4 is a transcendental experience that is both comfy and progressive

>try to make a nice-looking and orderly colony
>end up forced to make choke-points for wave after wave of trash enemies
>game realizes it can't win like this and instead makes bugs tunnel into the middle of your base haha

Cool.

what game

Dorf Fort

and fuck rimniggers

>Raids are scaled to your wealth
>Enemies stop heading for your entrance and start mining their way in instead
>Enemies stop mining their way in and simply drop pod directly on top of your cook, your surgeon, and your scientist while they're eating breakfast

I like the idea of citybuilders where you have to defend you city in theory, but it always ends up like where you have to either use a minmaxed cheese to defend yourself or deal with the fact the enemies will keep scaling until everything goes to waste.

Sim City 4 with mods is the be all, end all of city building games.

Dawn of Man.
Very relaxing. Also in early access and continuously being updated and added to.

Fuck off brainlet

What mods do you recommend?

Best Rimworld mods?
Can't play without wall lights, personally.

How's that new Royalty Expansion? Can I disable it somehow if I don't like what it brings?

theotown

Network Addon Mod
and pretty much anything recommended by this guy:
oldshoes.ca/simcity-4

Tropico
I like the intertwining with politics. I just wish you were an omniscient being like most city builders and the AI took part in the election instead. It'd be nice to see different parties win instead of just the "Presidente" party every time

But if the presidente doesn't win, the game is over.

This is why you use mods to be able to builds defenses that makes more sens.

I'm saying do away with it all together

>only devilstrand parkas
>in a desert/temperate biome
Are you okay user?

>there's no real goal, it's just watching spreadsheets and numbers get bigger.

So just like real life then

that looks like the room where they strip all of their dead enemies before cremating them

Yeah Tropico is good. Pity that the series doesn't go anywhere and there's no real progress since Tropico 3.

nope its out of EA for a year

The Royalty expansion is waaaay too overpriced.
If you don't know what it does, here is a rundown:
>New faction introduced into the game, the Empire.
>New weapons and armor used by Royalty, but also some new pieces of furniture you can build
>The Empire sometimes gives you quests you can accept with individual pawns (the pawn doesn't have to be involved in the quest, the pawn is more of a "representative"), if you beat one you get royal favor and some other rewards
>If your representative pawn gains enough royal favor, he starts rising in nobility, starting from Freeholder, all the way to Count.
>Along the way you gain psychic abilities to help you in combat or everyday life, Esquire and above can even call royal reinforcements for royal favor
>The higher the title of your pawn, the less work he will participate in and the more requirements he will have for his rooms

And a new win condition:
>When your pawn reaches Count-tier, he can activate a quest to let the Stellarch visit his colony. People will start raiding your area to kill the Stellarch, but if the Stellarch's mood remains high for a specific duration of time and remains unharmed, he will invite your pawns to his ship and you can leave the planet, thus winning the game.

In quick summary, it's an overhauled quest system, with a couple of new features and a win condition. Not worth the price.
You can ignore the Empire's quests with no consequences, so you can ignore the new content entirely. If you want to go further than that, "Royalty" can be disabled in the mod list.

thoughts on this game?

Not really much of a City-Builder fan but it's more so because it's hard to find games with a setting I'm interested in. So in terms of quality I can't really comment but Cliff Empire has a setting I really like, the very isolated sort of environment that isn't just tropical holiday island (nothing against Tropico it's just not a series that retains my interest).

>Ancient Cities nowhere to be seen

Pharaoh is the only city building game I’ve ever enjoyed.

Hello fellow factorian

Oh also, Workers & Resources is my game right now

Is the first one good too? I have it on steam but didn't play it yet.

Thanks for the insightful post! The last sentence is the key for me, as I'm about to play Rimworld for the first time (well, soon...) and I'd rather stick to the good ol' systems for now.

Sup my brother. Have you played recently? I always take 4-5 month breaks between each world and I'm ready to plunge back in soon. Hope they've added something new, with some new mod packs that go beyond Angel and Bob.

TF2 is by far the best.

probably. it has more mods too I think

OPENTTD succesor

This.
I still play a few hours every month.

I haven't been playing recently, since we're closing in on 1.0 (which is officially anounced btw) most of stuff is UI tweaks and fixes, tho they're awesome too.
I never played angel and bob, I am planning to build something like 250-500 spm base but it's difficult for now :D

Turrets got nerfed to garbage recently

Clash of Clans is definitely my favourite, a classic of the modern era.

Well yes and no. It has this weird resource shit which not everybody will find to their liking after playing OpenTTD.
Tho I respect the game, haven't played for over a year however.

oh god, mobile player

Caesar 3 is the only city building game I enjoy.

are you high?

I really liked this for 2-3 hours. Problem is, it has pretty much no replayability whatsoever once you do everything. Definitely not worth 20 euros, grab it on a sale for 5 tops.
Aside for that, I'd say the caesar 3/pharaoh/emperor city builders are my favorite. Never was a big fan of Zeus for some reason tho

Speaking of historical builders, what's with all the love for Pharaoh? Tons of people I've talked to remember it more fondly than any other game from their youth.
Was it really that good?

Briefly revived my Caesar 3 career but Anno 1404 has been my go-to city builder game for the past few weeks, it's just really comfy and I've finally overcome one of the biggest issues and speed bumps I had with the game.

Attached: screenshot0001.jpg (1920x1080, 835.79K)

Anno 1404 is pretty great although I'm not entirely used to it. There are some systems there that are not typical and you have to learn them.

It's really good and I'd sat it good greatly with interesting mechanics even today, if you are an almost 30 years old boomer like me who's used to those graphics since childhood. A year or two ago i got stuck with a shitty laptop with dead video card for a few months, so the only thing I could run were those games. I've spend probably 100-150 hours in caesar/pharaoh/zeus just in 2-3 months and still wasnt bored

Like what? It feels like one of the most casual, easy to learn city builders out there, the only thing that isn't self-explanatory about that game is consumption and production ratios, they REALLY need to add that shit into the game.
