About Cities XL

Cities XL can be played either in solo mode or in a massively multiplayer online mode. Today, we are pleased to announce you the content of the game offering a unique gameplay experience.

In solo mode, Cities XL will offer:

* 25 maps featuring varying landscapes - from canyons to grassy hills and snowy mountains
* Around 500 buildings based on various architectural styles (European, American ...)
* Diverse citizen structure: Four levels of wealth, four main different needs (Services, Environmental, Prices and Traffic) split into many sub-categories (Police and Fire departments, Education, Leisure, Commerce, multiple types of Pollution, Taxes, Cost of Life, Distance to work and more)
* A rich enterprise selection ranging from agriculture to heavy industry, services, tourism…
* A complex, but easy to access, simulation based on 12 resources to trade with an opportunistic IA (electricity, waste management, agriculture, water, fuel, etc.)
* An ambitious traffic system including many type of roads (five different widths, costs, quality and capacity), highways, airports, ports, and much more
* A set of never-before-seen real-time construction tools allowing players to create curved roads, building zones of various shapes, elaborate bridges...
* An avatar studio and Web-based profile pages

From day one we wanted to make sure that we were going to compete with the most ambitious builders out there in term of content and functionality. We wanted players to first enjoy Cities XL in solo mode, and then convince them to join the Planet Offer, which will open the gates to a more ambitious level of game experience.
