Well did you know there was actually mods to make things better? It is all true that cities Xl have memory leaks and only use a single core.
However, I have to disagree with negative opinions posted here. Despite the problems the game has almost cult-like following and there are many reasons for that. Pros: - Vibrant online community XlNation. I can't recommend Platinum version to anyone who already has any previous versions of this game.
They haven't implemented any performance I can't recommend Platinum version to anyone who already has any previous versions of this game.
They haven't implemented any performance improvements so the game still suffers from lag when you have a huge city. The only extras in the platinum version are a couple of new buildings. I've spent a lot of hours with this game but the performance issues eventually makes playing it a chore. Warning everyone out there to not buy this garbage. I am pretty sure a lot of the positive reviews are written by the developers, considering Warning everyone out there to not buy this garbage.
I am pretty sure a lot of the positive reviews are written by the developers, considering one of them called all the bad reviews, "trolls and griefers", a common tactic used to de legitimize real reviews.
This game is boring and clunky. It has a generic soundtrack, that pitifully imitates Sim City 4's. The The game is pretty good, it allows you to build really big cities and exchange resources between them. The only big problem I have with it is small lags that happen after 30 minutes of game play, forcing me to go back to the city selection screen. Some people say its a memory leak happening, but I don't see any change in memory usage on my PC.
I've been playing this game for a year now and I still don't see a fix for it. The game does not support HDMI cables Behind all this however I can see a great game trying to break through of its poor developemnt.
However don't be fooled by the look it's far worse than it seems. After playing for 20 hours now it seems like the game is the same thing as with some new textures and a good helping of bugs.

If you play for more than an hour or so the game bogs down and a restart is needed, an issue that has stayed over from It really saddens me to see releases of video games that is in a really bad state, released by publishers that don't care about anything just It really saddens me to see releases of video games that is in a really bad state, released by publishers that don't care about anything just money, who don't care about there customers and lacks care to address problems.
Focus Home Interactive is the leading example of a publisher that doesn't care about the quality of a game and fans.
It baffles my mind that their is three games yet nothing is fixed from previous releases. Its been ages since Simcity 4 and the failure of that god-forsaken game. In that period between the glorious return of Simcity fans would really have one choice if they ever wanted teh 3D graphics and modern glamour for a City sim. Cities XL could be a nice alternative but the people behind it have borked it.
As its broken in many places so yeah for the future its failure to address the issues that's been complained about many "times" should't go unpunished Simcity is apparantly how will they respond? Oh, let's release another game with minor additions! Just don't buy the game from these guys srsly until they learn the harshest of lessons Play Video. Cities XL - Launch Trailer. Essential Links.

Idol Manager. In a manner truly befitting its name, the game features a whopping 18 civilizations throughout 8 periods of world history. There is a lot of depth to this game, and much to do and consider as you set out on an extensive campaign of conquest. The game will really make you think, as it requires you to strike a balance between offense, defense and economy to succeed.
Rise of Nations is truly one of the heavyweights of the strategy and city-building gaming world. Ensemble Studios did it again—they created yet another masterpiece to mark the continuation of their massively successful series, Age of Empires. Age of Empires III boasts an absorbing story, great game mechanics, and a lot of variety. There are 8 civilizations accessible to the player, spanning several periods of history.
This will allow for many and varied kinds of cities, buildings and technological advancements, which add to the freshness and excitement of the game.
Age of Empires III is a great blend of city-building, history and real-time strategy. Anno , also known as Dawn of Discovery , is another amazing historical city-builder that makes this list.
Developed by Related Designs and produced by Blue Byte, the game features beautiful graphics, a solid underlying story that has the player literally jumping between the East and the West the Orient and the Occident in-game , engaging gameplay and a complex system surrounding building up and maintaining a settlement.
Outside of the campaign, Anno also offers a very rich and customizable continuous play mode in which you can set your own goals and go about achieving them in your own way.
This is where the real fun begins. The game also focuses heavily on discovering new lands, true to the age of discovery within which it is based. The attention to detail there is very refreshing. One of the best things about Anno is the relationship between Orient and Occident. And the interplay between the two makes for yet another visually satisfying experience. The thing about it, though, is that it could have, but for a few key miscalculations. Still, the game, for all its problems, very much retains the power to keep you at your computer even when your schedule says you should be doing something else.
All this was marred by the disagreeable circumstances surrounding the launch, the always-online requirement which has since been removed , the very limited plots of land available for your city especially compared to earlier SimCity games and a few bugs in the gameplay.
Welcome back, El Presidente! You can play the goody two-shoes politician everybody knows and loves, or you can be the megalomaniacal despot who everybody hates but hardly anyone can do anything about. Tropico 4 by Haemimont Games is a tongue-in-cheek take on city-building. El Presidente will need to contend with many of these international figures throughout the course of the game, as well as others in his own backyard—and everyone has an agenda. With great visual effects, a long campaign mode, robust and demanding gameplay to keep you involved, a host of challenges and natural disasters to deal with, lots and lots of humor, and the power to rule however you want, Tropico 4 is a great addition to the city-building genre.
Anno , yet another installment in the highly successful Anno series, takes city-building into the future. For starters, its premise is plausible in an unsettling way: due to global warming, the arctic has melted, causing ocean levels to rise all over the world.
Humanity is left to try picking up the pieces in a bid to survive amid dwindling land space and resources. The story aside, Anno does a great job of adding a futuristic element to its gameplay. There are also 3 factions that the player can choose from, each with their advantages and disadvantages.
This makes for a very interesting game mechanic and adds to the overall tone of tension. The game has faced criticism due to its requirement to always be online to access all the available options. While this has indeed caused problems, Anno is a highly enjoyable game that will captivate any lover of the city-building genre.
Civilization V is unique among the games on this list in that it takes place exclusively on an over-world map divided into territories. Instead, everything will be represented on the world map where gameplay happens. The game also relies heavily on tactics. You can achieve victory in Civilization V through might literally obliterating everyone else , diplomacy, technology or culture. This adds a welcome element of dynamism to the game. Be careful, though. Some neighbors can get highly defensive.
