Oh God yes. I am buying this game and I am doing this.

Definately gonna build a race of killer chihuahuas. With horns. And a spur on the tail.

Actually, in the seventh and eighth minutes of the Google video (running from the scissor monster through finding a "special friend"), at least three flying creatures are visible. Two right after the tripod stops running, that fly across the top right corner; and one more in the top left just as the "special friend's" nest comes into view. They looked like football-sized bugs, but they were kinda zooming past, so details are iffy.

So, there is evidence of flying creatures. Whether one can make a flying city remains to be seen, as the vehicle palette had air vehicles after land and sea.

You could always make your UFO look like a city if you wanted.

Sweet Jesus.


Imagine, if you will, a red, carapaced pachyderm. With an enormous lobster claw at the end of its trunk.

Or, a leathery gray custacean with tusks.

edit: making the UFO look like a city is a pretty cool idea, IMO. Though it'll be hard to resist making it phallic.
re-edit: now I have visions of a phallic UFO shooting a beam out of you know where, detonating a planet with its mighty blast.

When the game first goes to city-level, it zooms in on a rather large group of tripods. Do I see some kind of natural size variation being displayed?

You probably COULD make a city of flying monsters. one of the edit possibilities probably includes wings.

one question though, can't you also build a city underwater as well??

Might the 3D moving with your mouse be kind of hard? That's the only thing that's bugging me right now. Mainly in water. That seems like it would be hard to control.

If you notice, the brain section of the editor does appear when his charactor is underseas, so you can be smart enough to make a tribe while under water, the only question is, will the tribe you make be under water too.

(It would suck if you make a smart sea creature and have the tribe appear above ground, because then you have a tribe of sea folk that flop around on land)

I'm afeared what the loyal 4chan-ites will create if they get their grubby mits on this...

Actually, I remember how in the google 30 minute video it showed how Wright made a city on the cold planet but with a bubble over it, and he said that these bubbles could be placed underwater as well.
