Submitted by John on Thu, 07/15/2010 - 15:05
With today's post we're wrapping up the last of the Cities Unlimited archives... a listing of all the Concept articles and what they're about (in brief). I hope everyone has found them of interest, they certainly stand as a testament to the ability of the fan community to understand what is needed from a next-generation city building game. Hopefully with Metropolis we'll be able to fulfill all the hopes people had for Cities XL. Posted with the permission of their orginal author, tr0ub1e, these are articles archived from the Cities Unlimited website (along with the first page of their respective comment threads) before the boards were closed down.
