They also used Unity for Cities in Motion 2, which was a de facto prototype for Cities Skylines.

I much preferred their own homegrown engine from Cities in Motion 1; although since it is single threaded, it can bring even modern systems to their knees (at 1440+ resolutions) with mods, a map that maxes out the engine and freelook (especially if you do a horizon view of the city).
