Citizens, Castles, and Clash — What Makes a Game Stick?
C'mon admit it: You’ve at one point stared at a digital map in awe thinking—This is MINE! That's because great city building games do three key things: They let you create. They force you to manage. And yes... They make you want to conquer something. Sometimes it’s just neighboring players.

- Economic systems mimicking RL (real life)
