by Grijze Pilion on May 24, 2013, 11:01:25 AMHello,
I am Grijze Pilion and over the past 2 years i've been designing a new city-building game, Cities of History. Cities of History is a combination between a citybuilder and a Real-time Strategy game (or, as i like to call it, a Territorial Evolution Simulator) in which you get to colonize and evolve the vast nation of Locany, over the course of 3000 years. As Cities of History has only recently finished design and is only in early production there aren't... 85 Views | 4 Replies

How do you rule over gods, creatures, and men who refuse to obey you? How do you build a landscape of villages when bandits and mythology are conspiring to tear it down?

by City Builder on April 24, 2013, 12:48:16 PMHey Guys, Just thought I'd let you in on a small(ish) story from what happened to me the day before yesterday with my laptop. So, I noticed that I only had about 45 GB of free space on my SSD drive which is only 185 GB to begin with. But I figured that 45 GB is fine, it's still over the 15% that people have always suggested leaving free for Windows. But I've also noticed that my laptop has been getting REALLY slow the past few days. 223 Views | 2 Replies

by RhiannOn on April 20, 2013, 06:59:15 PMStephen Russell has been dumped as the voice over for Garrett  in Thief 4. Garrett is not the same without Stephen's voice and from what I have heard from a recent trailer the new voice is not horrible, but something is missing.... Stephen's Russell voice is sultry, rememberable and just fits so well with the stealthy Garrett character. The explanation for the replacement is here - http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/04/03/thief-voice-actor-2/... 243 Views | 3 Replies

My current specific question is this, should I stick to fields of expertise ala Alchemy/Cooking/Smithing or can I create a more granular system? Something like specializing in ingredient preparation or making specific products like healing potions.

by City Builder on April 07, 2013, 10:20:33 PMHi, I ended up buying Arma 3 and with it Steam gave me 3 arma 3 alpha "lite" keys to give away to friends. I believe that the lite version prohibits multiplayer but if any of the "regulars" on here want to try it out maybe this is a good way to do so. So if you are a regular on this forum and would like the steam key or gift (however it's done) either hit me up in this topic or PM me and if I still have one I'll give it to you. 235 Views | 2 Replies

I asked this on the EA forums and got mixed responses. Other than the 'bonuses' that you might get from having a specific education building is there a need to keep a grammar school when you place a high school, and is there a need to keep a grammar school and high school when you place the community college & is there a need to keep the afore mentioned three types of educational buildings once you place the university? 320 Views | 3 Replies

I keep getting this message told to me when I click on the education tool, it says something to the effect that Industry can't find enough skilled workers.
The strange thing is that I have 2 grammar schools both upgraded to 950 students, a high school upgraded, a community college with an extra dorm, and the university. As well as several (well a couple anyway) libraries spread around town.
I'm starting to think that this error message has... 497 Views | 2 Replies

by City Builder on March 16, 2013, 01:36:25 AMHi guys and gals,
I'm curious what you use when you build your cities, do you use a combination of all of the road pieces or do you stick to certain ones and ignore some others, or what.
Personally, I've tried different methods, for example doing an "avenue of the stars" city (for those that have visited Los Angeles or live there, you might get that), but that just looks too odd when I have avenues and absolutely no streets, even if it were to work out... 630 Views | 12 Replies

How annoying/limiting is the small restricted tiles? Im presuming they might release bigger ones with DLC but not sure ill be buying those.
Do you get disconnected regularly and how often do you lose saved cities? (im from EU if that makes any difference)

Information we have thus far:

So... How is your city going?
I had some issues initially in the CBGF Region getting my 2ND city up and running as I chose to use the city tile up on the mountain and for some reason the game client kept crashing before it could save my city but of course after I'd already put in a nice switchback road up the side of the mountain to get to the only buildable area on that tile.
After three attempts the game client stopped crashing and I finished my road... 652 Views | 9 Replies
