Yeah none taken mate. to be honest I would like to see it become something near of what I expected but just cant with the current situation at Paradox. It just looks like it was just one huge scandal to claw as much money back from failed projects as they possibly could.

Meanwhile HRC is just incredible considering it was thrown together by one man and came out like a work of art. I am just addicted to making cities as large as possible before my pc blows up and love the trading system. Gives you a real insight of city management without the constant traffic jams and road monitoring.

I think the mods will come when the players start to arrive and more content is added.
The future looks good for HRC and from what the devs are saying there is many new additions on the way.

if someone expects that mods will fix something in a game whose foundations are even borken. then must really believe in miracles

I love HRC but it is far from a pure city builder. HRC is about resources, supply chain, trading and leveling up population. Strong Anno influence.

HRC doesn't concern itself with infrastructure at all though which is what pure city builders focus on.

HRC is the better game then CS2 since cs2 is a broken buggy unoptimized mess.

But the reason HRC can have populations that big is because it is not simulating infrastructure like say SimCity 4 does.

HRC it's almost impossible to have traffic because it's mostly about your long haulers and garbage trucks. Not your population commuting. There is no traffic simulation.

I enjoyed HRC for 100-150 hours I was very positive about it.

But a fully modded patched and updated SimCity 4 is still the best city builder with 0 real competition even after 20 years.

HRC is more like a modern Sumerians or Kingdoms and Castles. Very fun games but the challenge doesn't lie in city planning or infrastructure it lies else where.

In HRC case it lies in goods needed to support max level population buildings and to figure out what you trade for, what you produce, what you sell.

It isn't about how I make my city better.

Exactly, I like HRC but it is no SimCity or Cities Skylines 1. But the OP will never understand that.

Oh, yeah. This thing has been mentioned before. I should probably check it out. Thank you for the explanation! :)

Man I get it. I love the game too. But calling it the ultimate city builder is completely misleading and untrue.

HRC being good has nothing to do with cs2 bring bad or vice versa.

But HRC is more a modern Anno then city builder. Instead of building pig farms you build micro chip factories.

HRC doesn't do traffic or infrastructure even up to the SimCity 2000 or Theotown level. That isn't a bad thing it just isn't part of the game.

I dont have to understand your explanation of what a city builder is lol. I play them and put 1000s of hours into cs1 and 400 into 2. You say there is no traffic management so its not a city builder. Have you seen the state of the roads without an organised bus route and Metro Line?

Each to there own but if you think this is not a city builder your just clutching at straws and hoping that some day You can actually define what a city builder is.

I have not played Anno or sim city so I cant really compare.

If you have never played the 4 original sim cities then you have no frame of reference and are like a child wandering into a middle of an adult conversation.

The original SimCity games created and wrote the book on the genre.

It isnt my definition of a pure city builder it is the genre. HRC is a hybrid city builder because it focuses on resources, trade and supply chain.

Just like Kingdoms and Castles isnt a pure city builder or Anno.

HRC is a terrific indy game. It is a terrific supply chain and resource game. But it is far from a city builder.

You dont know this again because you lack the historical knowledge.

I am not debating the quality of HRC but calling it the ultimate city builder is completely false.

No Cities Skylines 1 is the spiritual successor to the SimCity series. And it only became that way because of how bad SimCity 2013 was, and that there were no other decent city building games.
