Looking for a good city building game but there haven't been that many lately. Anyone have a suggestion?

I'm familiar with the Phaoroh and Caesar games, I heard Caesar IV wasn't that great though

Thanks

Did you ever play Zeus? It's a tiny bit dated but it's one of my faves.

It's a city builder similar to the two you mentioned. It's a lot of fun.

might want to try The Settlers: Rise of an Empire. I don't have the game, but the ddemo was pretty good and i might get it when it cheaper. thats the thing, I love pharaoh and think I would enjoy settlers, but the price might not be worth it.

I would recommend the Settlers and any one of the Civilization games. Although the graphics aren't as good as the newer ones, I enjoyed the first Civilization the best.

If you can wait until November 15, SimCity Societies looks quite promising.

I also recommend Civilization IV and it's expansions very highly, it's the only city builder sim I have and it suits me fine. I've always had a soft spot for Maxis' sim series though.

Civilizations are awesome. They aren't really city builders, they are civilization builders, but part of it is managing your cities.

The Anno games are supposed to be pretty sweet. Haven't got round to playing them yet though. I love city building with colonisation over-tones.
