SimCity Societies is a city-building simulation computer game developed by Electronic Arts (EA), part of the Sim games series. It is the fifth main SimCity game and the second not to have a numbered title. The game was developed by Tilted Mill Entertainment and was released worldwide on November 13, 2007. On June 5, 2007, Tilted Mill Entertainment, creator of Caesar IV, announced that it would be developing SimCity Societies instead of Maxis, which had created all preceding titles. Rob Humble, head of EA's Sims Division, indicated that EA representatives had asked Tilted Mill to create the game at E3. Immediate reaction was negative, especially on the official forums of the developer towards this game. Responses directly from the developers attempted to ease some concerns. While previous mainstream SimCity titles could be best described as mayorship, or government simulators, SimCity Societies is different, as foreshadowed by the previews and statements from the developers, by being a "social engineering simulator" rather than a city-building simulator. Public works and a tax system do not play a part in the basic game. Instead, players get daily income from workplaces in the city.
