Kotaku: SimCity Societies Impressions Kotaku has posted up a short preview on SimCity Societies. This latest iteration of Sim City adds a societal influence to the already well-tuned city builder. In Sim Cities Societies you still create your own kind of world, but instead of using zoning to do it, you use social pressure. The game tracks six different "social energies": Education, wealth, religion, industry, obedience and creativity and depending on which type of structures you build it can change the entire look of the game.
