My Country Online - A City Building Game

My Country is my favorite city building games because it has the most logical city-building games for me that can run through Internet browsers without needing for installation. Logical means that it simulate building a city in a more realistic way. Below are the list of features that I liked most.

Population

Population is one of the most important parameters in city-building games. In some other games, population is increased every time you collect tax from residential buildings which is not logical because in real life, the number of population will not increase every time you collect tax from a residence. You may find your city having a large number of population while there are few residential buildings. Unlike other city-building games, My Country has a logical way of increasing the population. Population is increased every time you upgrade a residential building which is more logical because when you upgrade, you have more space. More space means more occupancy for a residence.

Electricity

Only few city-building games has this parameter. Electricity is gained every time you construct a power plant, windmills and solar panels and is consumed every time you construct other building.

Ecology

As far as I know, only My Country has this parameter. Ecology is gained every time you decorate your city with trees and parks. Ecology is decrease every time you construct an industrial building.

Building Openings

This is the unique way of finishing a building that I only found in My Country. One of the realistic way of finishing a building. In real life, a constructed building cannot be occupied and is not functional unless there's an employee in that building. In My Country, constructed buildings can only be open if you provide it with the required employee/professionals. For example, you can only run a Taxi Stand if you employ a taxi driver in it. Each employee/professionals also require equipments that they will use for their job. For example, a Taxi driver will require Taxi Sign, GPS and Taxi Radio. If you provide all the materials required by the professional, you can employ him to open a specific building.

Upgrading Buildings

In my Country you can upgrade some buildings parts by parts. Buildings can be upgraded in 4 categories, Height, Territory, Roof and by adding Employees. Upgrading height will increase the floors of the building. Upgrading territory will improve the base design of the building. Upgrading the roof will improve the design of the roof. Adding employees means more profitable and longer contracts.

Play without Energy

Some games will require energy to play, like Cityville, which limits you when your energy get exhausted. But for My Country, you can manage your city anytime you want.

No Quest Flooding

Most of the city building games that I played are full of quest. Every time you level up or complete a quest, a bunch of quest will appear and it annoys and confuse me of what should I do first. My Country also has many quest but you can manage to finish all of that before you level up. If you completed a quest, only 1 new quest will appear but most of the time, new quest will appear every time you level up.

Friends are Optional

Most of the browser games, especially games on Facebook, will require you to have friends in order to progress. This is my most hated feature in all browser games because you will not progress until you have friends who play the same game you played. Not all your friends want to play the game you're playing. My Country has this kind of feature when played via Facebook. It will require you to have friends in order to expand land. But when played via Google, it does not require a friend, it's just an option. When you add a friend, you can acquire bonus coins, and special buildings.
