Sept. 2024

its, a game. havent really figured out the city building aspect of the game, def not on par with other titles. but, this game is more about having fun with policy, but, theres a whole like 50 citys you can make, and develop, make a 4 of them, let them trade, sometimes they prosper, sometimes they dont. i enjoy it cause i knew about the books and other similar games based on the book worth checking out? idk, but its fun if youve ever wanted more politics and policy in your city building adventures.

Sept. 2024

A VERY addictive SimCity like simulation. With less of the micromanaging, and more depth to things like political features. Those are the parts that really keep me engaged; trying to make a pure communist state work, or a pure capitalist or libertarian state.

Fun game, missing some elements of city building. Enjoying the Democracy style gov options. Republic of Banana has fallen

Fun game, old but fun. I love trying different solutions such as communism, libertarin etc. it's interesting to see consequences to forms of government I would never want to live in personally. I hope this steam platform is not some ender's game type scenario because if that is true, I have truly f'd over many different populations.
