Welcome to a look at the Top 10 City Building Games coming up in 2018
At number 10 a game that's got me 10 kinds of excited. This is Industries of Titan
The developers described the game as an industrial city building simulation strategy game
It's half city builder half competitive tycoon gamer
But with some real-time strategy elements thrown in you play as the head of a giant corporation in
Competition with others and your job is to build a city on the surface of Titan one of Saturn's moons
Starting with just a few small buildings you can design and build a massive metropolis as well as building factories
You'll have to set up production lines to process world resources you're going to have to design as well as build your own spaceships
Which I'm I'm really excited by the game has multiple victory conditions including combat
technological superiority
Political influence. It just sounds awesome. This is one to watch
Okay, this is The Colonists, and it's a settlement building game developed by mode seven who are the guys behind?
Frozen Synapse, this is inspired by games like the settlers and the anno series
But it just features the cutest robot ever just look at them
Awesome, and your job is to take control of this team of robots
Who've been tasked with settling a newly discovered planet?
Preparing the ground for an influx of inhabitants from their homeworld in the future, and you start off in the Stone Age
And you progress right up to the Space Age building the infrastructure for your colony
and you've got to put in your start off is kind of roads and boats and trains and
Eventually you get to drone transport systems, and it's all the usual thing of harvesting natural resources setting up farming and food production
Conquering other settlements trading with alloys explore research manage. It's all that kind of stuff
But with really cute robots. What is not to like I can't wait to see more about this game. This is another one to watch
Hi, I'm Richard and Iook, what's with this music? Can we change this?
Much better, it's me in the mood so my name is Richard and well you can call me Richie, okay?
Let me show you around the town of it
I'm just on my way with this load of fish to drop it off here
And be a storage shed it's to be safe for anything
This is the library where people can come and borrow books
this is
My children, and this is the dagger and when I spend perhaps too much time
And this is the church when I was married which I try to attend every Sunday
and this building is the post card which helps to decrease the foreign threat in my port and keep everyone safe and
Right down here is the pirate threat indicator you have to keep this down on merit or ransack your village
And this is the lighthouse which helps to increase port visibility and also as to your poor reputation as long as the flame is flowing
There you know what I mean
What do I mean?
Well, anyways this building is really important that all now lets you import and export anything you can think of like bees working corn
Pigs chicken anything I've got lots of place all experts say two hundred and twenty-two kilograms play and boom
I'm a richer man. Well. Thank you stopping by hey you should come by and try this out for yourself. Okay. See you soon
Every good tale begins with children who are lost?
Children who must write their own story and become strong enough to share that story with the world
to plant their banner in the fertile earth of elder stone
my poor goblin children
Oblivious they craft and they build yet will their inventions of sticks and stones weather the storm that is to come
for light will form a
darkness that no torch can hold it they a
darkness that watches
For my lost children an adult alone my first ball await them with cunning schemes and
brutal fury
My goblins will look up at each door not with fear
But with hope their years of hiding are behind
goblins will build
goblins will grow
Goblins, will be lost no more goblins blue moon in elder stone
Next up it's the latest in the anno series anno
1800 set in the Victorian era at the height of the Industrial Revolution
Steam engines steam powered ships the Great Exhibition all of that stuff, and am I excited
Not as much as you might think now
This is primarily because I got so excited for the last anno anno 2205 and it was a total snoozefest
Is this gonna be better?
I have really mixed feelings based on the little bits of gameplay that I've seen some things really excite me
All of them the steam stuff the industry looks really cool
But I don't know there are elements of the graphics and some of the gameplay that just doesn't do it for me
But we've got to wait and see what it ends up looking like and it's gonna be coming in winter
2018 I won't be holding my breath
Number 5 its Austria and anyone who's familiar with my channel will know that I love this game
Now bear in mind Austria is still in very very early access
It's got a long long way to go and the state that it's in at the moment
There's not that much content
There's a fair amount of content, but there's still a lot more to come and incidentally he's the developer
This is developed by one guy this whole game is developed by one guy
He's just published her, or I went a little while ago. He published a road map which I'll put on screen for you now
Showing just how much more there is to add to the game and when this game's finished
I think this is got this game is definitely gonna be up there
With games like banished in fact. It could even be better than banished
It's that good, but right now. It's still lacking a bit of content. We need to be patient
Also, the game is pretty buggy
Right now it does need a lot of bug fixing, but it's early access. That's to be expected
What you need to know about this game is it is truly engaging it is ain't grossing
It draws you in you feel like it's your village the way that the game
Grows very organically the the way that roads are generated by the grass being worn away by people
walking backwards and forwards over it you don't lay your roads the roads grow just like your village I
Would recommend if you haven't if you haven't seen much about Austria and certainly if you haven't played it

Six months ago when Tropico 6 was announced. I immediately put it into my top 3 and
That was sight unseen hadn't seen any gameplay now that I've actually seen some gameplay
I am confident to still leave it in my top 3
What do we know about the new game well instead of having a single island you've got an archipelago
which means something that we've never had before in a tropical gained the ability to build bridges and
There's this new concept of world wonders and raids yes
El Presidente is sending out his spies and soldiers to steal
Wonders of the world and bring them back and some of these are pretty funny for example
sneaking over to France
Disassembling the Eiffel Tower and sneaking it back in to Tropico
hidden
interests luggage I think it's gonna be awesome Viva el Presidente Viva llamas Viva Tropico 6
Number two it's Frost punk and
Having played now the demo I can tell you this game is everything that I hoped it would be
If you want to see more go watch my let's play right now enjoy the trailer when we end up
with next to nothing
We don't do what we believe is right we believe what we do make us, right?
It is not shelter north that brings us consolation
Or it is home that makes us grow
Oh
That there is more of us
And if not
That we
are enough
Frost bunks due for release in March of 2018 and let me tell you I cannot wait make sure this is on your wish list
In the top spot, it's ancient cities
Having completed a Kickstarter where they raise 125 thousand euros which is 125 thousand dollars
They went on to raise more funds with an IndieGoGo campaign and raised another
93 thousand euro so about 93 thousand dollars
So they've got about a quarter of a million dollars in the war chest to develop this game, so okay
What do we know?
well
we know that the game is going to be set in the Neolithic period or it's going to start in the Neolithic period and
you will develop your tribe and your city through the ages the
funding did unlock several stretch goals
So we'll be starting off in the early Neolithic and we'll be going through at least
To the early Bronze Age there will be an Ice Age expansion included. We will have fluid dynamics
We will be going drm-free
We will have a user terrain which will be nice more biomes and we will get sea and coastal cities
Okay, so what else have we learned about the game
Well there definitely will not be a multiplayer the developers have confirmed that there will be
combat though in the form of raids from other factions
There will be modding support, but not in the first version that will be developed later
And there definitely will not be any early access or open alpha. They think alpha is a development stage
It's not a product to sell and let's face it. They've already been funded, so they don't need to do an early access
The game's not due till late 2018 so all we can do until then is sit back
cross our fingers
And hope that this game realizes the it's potential that it has and that is my top 10 city building games for
2018 I hope you enjoyed it I had a blast
Make sure you subscribed for more top 10s and trailers our catch for the next one peace out
