Description
Obviously inspired by SimCity, but this game takes a slight different approach. It emphasizes rural areas in addition to urban ones. Units and zones come in a variety of different sizes. Technology levels determine what types of units can be built. Tracks (roads) are not needed to connect *everything* as some units provide their own roads and/or can be directly connected to the ones they are dependent on. Also, the need for centralized electric power is reduced (especially in rural areas), as some units are or can be self sufficient, producing their own energy which may not even be electric.
