I, too, have put many hours into Civilization games. I'm looking forward to the new expansion for Civ 6!
I think you'd enjoy the game going back to it now. I've not played the previous SimCity versions, but I think I'll give them a shot sometime for comparison's sake.
You're right about the city space thing. It is fun to build multiple cities in one region, but I think it would be equally as fun to have one mega city that you could put everything in. I'll have to hit up SimCity 4 to get this aspect of the game.
Lastly, I apologize for my delay in responding to your comment. I appreciate the time and effort you took to respond, but sometimes comments just slide under the radar. Thanks again.
Totally understand that delays happen. The notification system on here leaves almost everything to be desired. I've never noticed it actually working for anything actually useful!
Maybe when I get some time I'll have another look at it. For my 'simcity' scratch I've been playing Cities in Motion 2 or more often, Cities XXL.
So if you're on Discord and you want a solution for notifications, check out the fantastic new project called GINAbot. It's great for on the spot notifications for all things Steemit!
Thanks for the suggestions for the other games. I'll definitely look into them!
