I ended up picking it up, did anyone else?
If so, I was wondering because of the always on internet thing and that we can take advantage of its network / server option and build a private QBN region. There are 3 regions with 16 cities and 4 great works. We could develop one of these if enough people are interested, or something smaller to suit enough interested.
I really like how one city can serve another and that there interaction is expected / intended. It'd be nice to do some planning, share screenshots, and plan our region on the city level before ever breaking ground.
Some cities will be able to mine ore, others dig for oil, etc. up to processing plants that then redistribute manufactured goods from raw or recycled materials shipped from other facilities. It'd be cool to see a thriving ecosystem operating on the region level while we each contribute on the city level.
The game creates a lot of "what ifs", like I wonder if you could create a wind farm of one of the cities to feed the others. With just commercial zoning, the employees working in that region would then shop or go home. (or according to a game tip, stay at a hotel... that would likely pop up in the commercial zone if there was economic prosperity.)
So if anyone's interested, let's swap tips and see what we can create.
