CitiesXL Platinum

My last post was about Esri CityEngine. Now this one is about CitiesXL Platinum, a city building computer game developed last 2009 by Monte Cristo and then the franchise was bought by Focus Home Interactive. This is an expansion pack really 
for CitiesXL created last 2012.

At the start of the game, you'll have an option to choose where you want to build your city. The different location offers different type of resources which will be very vital as your game progresses. Once you have chosen, then you'll be able to start. 

With CitiesXL, you can create different building lots (residential, commercial, industrial) and road networks. Take note that when creating residential areas, you have an option as to what social class they'll be in - unskilled workers, skilled workers, executives and elites. Now the trick here is to have a balance with the people in your society and the work your city will offer based on the commercial and industrial industries 
you will soon create. This is the game right here. 

You have an option to create additional recreational activities for your people as well since you'll be acting as Mayor. It's pretty exciting as you will soon learn the 
dynamics of supply and demand. 

What I also like about this game is that it takes into consideration the terrain to make your city more realistic. And you know me, I like my cities unique and realistic 
as much as possible. 

Try this game, you might like it! xx
