[edit] DescriptionIn a city building game the main objective of the player is build a flourishing city. You set zones for housing or industry, or you build houses or industry directly, which attracts people to move in and work in your city. You have to provide necessary goods for them to be happy and upgrade their houses, thus expanding your workforce. Usually you can trade with your neighbours and make money from this, and in some games you also have to fight against your neighbors. Nevertheless, the main focus of a city builder game is the building part, not the fighting. All the city builders are real time simulations, so this genre might be considered to be a subgenre of RTS as well as a subgenre of Economic simulation.
[edit] The WorldOlder games of this type use an isometric view on the city, newer games show a 3D view of what you're building. [edit] Related Pages[edit] Examples
