This has become literally my favorite City Planer. I love that you can actually import your own or any other players city. It's possible to see your neighbors statistics to decide whether to attack or not and so on. If you can't decide if you wish to register to check it out then you can use demo login and decide whether to create account or not.

Thank you Overtype for kind words and the demo login. However, I would kindly ask to remove the info about this demo login because the city planner has not been tested with scenarios when multiple users start working (and saving) same city. And this is quite possible with such demo account.

This planner is very useful and has lots of potential! A few suggestions if you don't mind:
1) Being able to select production time for all production buildings at once
2) When selecting a structure to place, let us continually place it until we click on the structure again (i.e. If I select a hut, I can place 10 at once rather than clicking on the hut 10 times)
3) Chosing which age your special building is before placing in city (even more useful with suggestion #2)

it doesnt have BETA server.....

Yes, it indeed does not have it. Mainly because I do not want to test how everything works with buildings which are currently on beta server only.

this city planner is much better than the earlier one....
i hope you add BETA one day as that's my main server

You can still use it but obviously without importing functionality

Pretty impressive, but I don't know why my own city could not be loaded so I was modeling it from scratch. However, I had to stop because I added one building incorrectly and I couldn't find a way to remove it ().

The other suggesytions, specially the one to memorize what I'm adding (like currently already is with Expansions) would be awesome

 

[DeletedUser109674]

I don't know why my own city could not be loaded

Was other city loaded, or you it did not load the city at all. Try to type your whole in-game nickname, and not just part of it (in which case the system just loads some other's city). Please, provide your Game server and Nickname so I can check

I couldn't find a way to remove it

Select the building (in Construction mode) and hit Delete/Backspace on the keyboard. This info is in Help section of the website.

Now it worked. I don't really want to believe that I mistyped my own nickname >.<

I should've tried XD

Let me ask... If you change something in the real account, will it update automatically?

Also, can I simulate the city state considering the polish on Cultural Buildings?

 

[DeletedUser653]

must try the new functionality but even before being able to load a current city (which is a great upgrade) it was still a fantastic site

No, your in-game and in-planner cities are not synced. And no, polishing does not count yet.

 

[DeletedUser105544]

Excellent thing! Great work!

 

[DeletedUser109674]

v 0.9.13
- added the ability to put same building/road without the need to select them from the menu each time
- city loading speed improved. Large cities should load with double speed
- some bugs fixed

Today I tested this city planner, after using the forgestats for years I tried this one. Got really issues with saving all the data on forgestats, again my saved city was gone. And moreover, forgestats seems outdated, The Gaea GB is missing. Lets take a closer look at this new city planner.

Pros

++ Absolutely amazing, you can copy your city to this city planner. And this saves a lot of time.
++ All the buildings seems up to date.
++ saving is much better, no more lost data. and if so, then you easily can import your city again.
+ you can easily see where your buildings in your city are and spot unneeded buildings like pieces of road.

Cons

-- It is more difficult to spot certain buildings. When I laid down came across that a tinning plant was missing in the design.
- remove expansions is not possible.

Conclusion

The fast city uploading saves a lot of time and is very useful. However, you have to be more concentrated on stats, here it goes wrong and it seems that you have to control the specs with your calculator. Despite of that, this city builder is very handy and I hope this tool will be modified with some additional specs and great building data.

 

[DeletedUser109674]

-- The biggest drawback. You cannot see the data.

What particular data you cannot see? The City planner gives you major statistics (though not all).

And also you are not able to change the GB level.

You can change all GB's level, up to 16 level.

This leads to unclear stats and you don´t know if you have enough citizens and happiness.

Citizens count and happiness are included into current city stats. They should be correct. Again, do not forget that level of GB is capped at 16 (which is OK for the vast majority of users). If you believe that the city stats is incorrect, please, provide: 1) your game world; 2) in-game username; 3) exact numbers for citizens, happiness etc from your in-game city. Then I will be able to import your city and check.

It is more difficult to spot certain buildings. When I laid down came across that a tinning plant was missing in the design.

This statement is contradictory to your another statement in pros, when you wrote that it's easy to spot a piece of road. You can always turn off city graphics and even scale the city. Then, you will be able to see all 1-square entities easily.

Sorry, my mistake, I found the level change button for GBs and now can get an accurate stats overview. This makes this city planner really useful. (will change my opinion about this.

With that overview of buildings I mean this, when importing your current city you see small mistakes, certain leftovers like decorations, wrong pieces of road, etcetera and that is really handy. +

However, when designing a new city data is missed about amount of buildings, I have alot of shrines and watchtowers, but really have no clue how many. At the last part you are moving alot of these small items, and it is diffult to see if the amount of these small buildings are correct. In forgestats it did happen alot that I thought city was complete, and came across that I had another shrine. That data is missing,

But for the rest, really cool city planner, and going to use it, especially that I found out how to use citizens and happiness specs.

Great work.

The best one so far. I was amazed when tried it first time, and when I figured out all other features I was delighted even more. Now, it has one problem - im in big temptation to rearange my city every single week :-)
