I was talking about Cities XL and its various iterations.

Which one did you grab? I saw a "CitiesXL deluxe" on steam, but didn't look into it. Last one I played was 2012

I tried out Platinum with a friend who got it. I'll get it myself hopefuly when steam puts it on sale (or some other place).
EDIT: Or, well, maybe Cities 2012 if they have it better at some other place. Apparently there aren't any gameplay differences between either that or Platinum.

Oh yeah, platinum, not deluxe.
The one thing I didn't like about Anno 2070 that wasn't a problem with 1470 (or whatever) is that they made you log into an annoying thing before you could play. They tried to make it more multiplayer and more a part of some social thing, but.. it just made everything a bit more annoying. Not a dealbreaker, I just prefer 1470 more.

It's 1404 (all the numbers of any Anno game add up to 9, if you didn't notice that... i.e., for Anno 2070, 2+7+0+0 = 9; for Anno 1404, 1+4+0+4 = 9; and so on).
Apparently the whole dramedy with Anno 2070 was like a lite, spiritual predecessor to the gut-wrenching dramedy that is SimCity 2013.
Anyhow, as for Anno 2070, how do the building/resource chains compare to that of, say, Anno 1404, or even the old-school Sierra city builders? Or, heck, Tropico 4, how complicated and/or predictable are its building/resource chains? (I've heard Settlers 7's building chains were horridly complex, though.)
Although I used to be able to play those building/resource chain-based city-builders much more often when i was younger, they're starting to tire me out nowadays, as it turns into "learn what the building/resource chain is, build it, rinse and repeat" sort of thing for me in contrast to, say, the old SimCities, which is sort of like that on a more abstract scale but has more room and freedom to mess around for the lulz in my opinion.

I just found this
It doesn't look like it's going to be a game per se.. and it seems to only be modelling existing cities and won't be able to be used as a tool to build your own.. but maybe I'm wrong?
Here's a bit more information of what they've been able to accomplish in just 30 days
Seems interesting and relevant enough for me, I am going to keep my eye out on this project
