A
computer game
in which the player builds and maintains a city. Good examples of this are
Maxis
's
SimCity
series, and
Sierra
's
Caesar
series.
City building game
s should not be confused with
strategy game
s like
WarCraft
. While you do build something of a city in those games the focus is more on creating a
military industrial complex
to win a war. While a
city building game
may deal with war on some level, the main focus is in providing for the needs of the citizens of the city. The trend has been for these to be
real time
. They also tend to be somewhat addictive as they often can be played without specific goals besides, "Make the biggest/best city you can". There
is
something fulfilling in starting with a few shacks and creating a complicated
thriving metropolis
.
