SimCity could be done using a 2D api with a back to front update or it
could be drawn using a pure 3D api. If I were coding it for modern
machines I would use 3D with a z buffer just because it would be easier
to do.

Whatever you know best.

Whatever you know best. I sounds like you will need to learn some
networking. The easiest way to do something like that is to find an ftp
library and use it.

There is no environment that is "best" for everyone. What is best for
you is best for you. What is best for you depends on what you know, what
you want to learn, and how much you have to spend.
