If you want simple... Play SimCity Societies... Alot of people will complain if it's taken that low again.

Tried it and played it for a long time but it was too simplistic. Just click and wait game. I could do that while tasking out other things at the same time. So that does not fit for me either

the complexCity is part of the fun... being in complete control of the city and not have the game hold your hand.

You never had a specific option to zone farms. Low density industrial zones could potentially develop into farms depending on pollution, size, location and whatnot. But they could just as well develop into smaller factories.

Nope just 3. low density is what farms are...

My mistake. Not sure how i forgot, looks like it's been too long since i've played SimCity!

no there is 4 industrial in SC4 at least, and they were not ranked by density, but wealth... low wealth would turn to farm land, they where IR, ID, IM, and IHT zoneing

IR- low weath near residential aka farm land
ID - medium wealth dirty aka manufacturing aka chemicals and coal
ID - Medium wealth clean aka product mfg (Cars, etc)
IHT - High wealth tech industry.. needs high education and wealth in the region

When actually plotting the Zone theres only three tools, Low (Agricultural), Medium and High.

But it's not truly Maxis...

Define "not truly Maxis" - so far, everyone involved has roots in at least one previous SimCity (not The Sims) game; in fact, most go back to at least SC2000 (the last SImCity to NOT require DirectX).

And have you tried CitiesXL or ANNO 2070 yet?

It's defined as 'EA owns them and EA is evil so they're clearly not the same.'

but eh, you've heard my piece on that before

I'm looking forward to this. Be nice if it comes out for XBOX 360, seeing is that I'm pretty sure Sim City came out for console long before PC.
I remember spending countless hours/days straight playing Sim City 2000 on old Nintendo. Played SC3000 and SC4 on PC though.

Eh... I'm already hooked. I have no issue with it being EA. As long as it's a decent game I'll lay it
