SimCity vs Stronghold
SimCity
SimCity is the inspiration of every city-building game ever made and it is so for a very good reason. The game not only allows you to build a virtual city of your own design, the city-building process is incredibly intricate and once it's done, you can even enjoy watching your little Sims go about their day. As their mayor, you can't exactly do whatever you like if you hope to keep your people's support. Due to this, it is important to take your Sims' feedback and improve the city accordingly.The best part though is its multiplayer aspect. You can actually team up with your friends to help solve global challenges in your city, projects that range from launching a space shuttle or construct amazing wonders of the world. Compete with other mayors from all around the world in a variety of categories on the leaderboard!
SimCity is a revolutionary game when it was first released and it is still inspiring a ton of new and in-depth city-building simulation games until today. Take up the role of a mayor in a simulated city now and see how well a job you can do!
