Gameplay

Zoning

The game offers the designation of three types of building lots: residential, commercial and industrial. Each of which can have a different density. Residential lots have four social classes: unskilled workers, skilled workers, executives, and elites. Before designating building lots, the game requires players to select which class of residents may live there. The social class chosen for a lot will not be modified by the simulation.

To create building lots, players can zone an area of the map in which, upon confirmation, individual building lots will be created by the game. Players can also plop building lots individually.

Transport

Cities XXL allows players to create a road network of a variety of road types at many different angles and curvatures. Bridges and tunnels are also part of the simulator. Other transport options are buses, trains, ferries, and subways.
