Ooooooh, me likey! I loved those games. Been groovin on Civ IV lately. Been playing Civilization since I was given the board game version on my birthday... in 1982. I'm hopelessly hooked.
Did you happen to find a release date for it? I haven't stumbled across one.

Civcity is errm..."out" just not officially, so im guessing a week Kinda funny they are both about rome, and both are out this year, im guessing Civcity would be similar to Civilization with a tech tree. |

Yep its Sid Meyer, played it abit now, ok anyone who has played Caesar 1-2-3 dont expect anything you havnt seen, infact, its identical, -.- blah , things that are identical to Ceasar I-II-II mission types how to build barbarian behavoir (dumb as a rock) trade routes how to make trade route bloddy only thing new is tech tree, whoa... talk about copying a old game slap in new graphic, some futures it didnt have,, woila "new game" , it runs really realllly fast, actually have to lower speed even with maxed everything Didnt he do this with Pirates to, ; ) bah... oh well least its updated for newer gamers who never tried it, and not as ugly, but it isnt pretty either, just... get ...very... BIG the largest cities are insane to manage ;_; bad -.-
it doesnt support over 1280x1024 (what the...) yet apperantly, theres a file you can change manually but it states in that to it wont work, and it doesnt.
Ai is the dumbest thing since err.... no i can think of anything, he's really really dumb when attacking.
min rez i run is at 1600x1200 -.-, mouse is wierd ... dont know how to describe it , click.. and its err... not what i was clicking on (wierd bug with dualscreen i think disabled it and havnt seen it yet)
Positive i can say is,
if you never played any Ceasar , and want to least have updated graphic , try this out, its also very stable , didnt save once, never crashed in over 9 missions in a row :>, same as it was with Pirates , rock solid, never really needed a patch.
Your citizens AI are not stupid as it was in Ceasar, wooopie about time they had some mind of their own  , so they can usually find their way to food ect without making a masterpiece of a road that has everything they need , like a mall -.-?
Game is err... very Tiled, seems to be made by someone with snap on, theres not possible to rotate any buildings except 90 degree's , like City Life's there they had any angle, but the maps where insane much bigger then CivCity
Tho i hope they fix the odd mouse/ai/higher REZ, 1280 on a lcd made for 1600 is hiddious <,<
btw Release Date
07.24.06 US
07.28.06 EU
