I really didn't think it would be me. Sho-Ryu-Ken. |

I'm rather disappointed at the relatively high online fee for this. Along with them pushing for lots and lots of micro-transitions by the sounds of it - it doesn't bode too well in my book.
Had they gone with 2€ or so a month, it wouldn't have been much to think about, but at 5€, and for the kind of game this is and how much it'll likely get played, it suddenly became a decision. Anyway, hope it'll turn out fine. |

"You won't be able to stick your freshly-minted metropolis on giant caterpillar treads before trundling over to a rival and lobbing the Flatiron Building through their municipal weak spot.
Reminds me of an epic Mock the Week where Frankie Boyle's vision of the future was where Tokyo and London raise themselves off the ground on hydraulic legs and fight for resources. |

I like strategy games plenty thanks, and am surprised and pleased to hear of a non-fantasy MMO where you have to outthink your opponents rather than outgear or outtwitch them. This however, doesnt really sound very interesting. It sounds like SimCity but played at a glacial pace. |

Eraysor - you can also find the concept in Philip Reeve's excellent Mortal Engines books. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_Engi...
Think high-quality teen fantasy, His Dark Materials with balls. And giant cities on tracks that eat each other. |

Personally, I find this rather exciting. Especially the bit about individually managing lanes of freeways. \o/

Can't wait for this. The way you could plot farming polygons in Monte Cristo's old medieval RTS what's-it-called and draw streets/crossroads/bridges in their City Life was amazingly intuitive to use and well done. Thinking of how bad Sim City Societies was and how many steps back for the series it was.... yes, I can't wait to try this game :) (been playing Tribal Wars for too long :))
