Family values.

<span class="bold">Urban Empire</span>, a political city-builder where you steer your city's fate exercising shrewdness and nepotism, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Caring about a city because it's your home is one thing, but the stakes are much higher when you are a living part of its history. Since the early 1800s, your family has been managing, expanding, and shaping this city, carefully planning its course and making the harsh decisions that must come from a mayor's office. The duty now falls to you: sway the right people with your political influence and diplomacy skills, navigate the numerous dynamic events, and help build a better future for your citizens. Will you manage to keep your dynasty in power for the next 200 years, or will your opponents and the city's struggles get you kicked out of office?

Guide your beloved city through two centuries of prosperity and establish a timeless <span class="bold">Urban Empire</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Looks good. Wishlisted for now and will get it when it is 60-70% off.

Reever: Does it really say "Be a Mayor Player" in the trailer?

Hope that's supposed to be a pun :D

Grargar: It's also the game's subtitle/slogan, so yes:

HunchBluntley: It definitely was. (Especially since I'm pretty sure they've used it in other promotional material for the game.)
It's not a particularly clever one, though. :)
EDIT: Goddammit, Grargar.
That's good then :D

I watched some Let's Play series of Urban Empire and had to say that unfortunately, it looks boring :(

amund: Probably will buy this in the near future. I would like to see a city builder with a mafia setting.
Constructor HD will be released on 31.01.2017. So here you go. But unfortunately I can't tell you for sure if it will be released here on GOG because the original versions of Constructor and Mob Rule were removed from GOG some time ago.

I now played Urban Empire for about 2 hours and I like it. It's something different and intersting in a city builder game not being able to build things as you like and being forced to do some politics before.

So friggin' expensive. The regional pricing on this one is a shame.

says 28th february here.

Interesting. If owners of the original can get a smaller price I could be interested (especially with "rebalanced" gameplay, never could play the original for long XP).

HunchBluntley: But "Be a Mayor Playe[r]" doesn't make any sense.
"Mayor" in Spanish means "bigger", so maybe it's "Be a bigger player"?

I should have known a couple of years ago when my "Sturgeon Simulator" joke bombed that my "Karl Urban Empire" joke wasn't going to fair much better. :P

Looks like my kind of game, from the walkthroughs I've been looking at it definitely seems unique, like a fusion of Democracy and your regular city-builder. Buuut ... I've spent too much on games this month, will pick it up at a later point.

Really interested in this one. The political aspect should make it quite a challenging city builder. And the eras touch is nice. Still can't get it right now but definitely picking it up in the future.

Constructor HD looks interesting, would be great to see it here. Must have missed that the originals were here. I liked politics in Crusader Kings 2 (killing your brothers to gain power and causing wars between rivals). Anyway, always nice to see new city builders.

It does look interesting.
Posted January 22, 2017
Too much politics. Not my kind of fun.

"Be a Mayor player."

That pun is bad and whoever is responsible should feel bad.
