Making enough profit to maintain the whole place is going to be tough, my dream of amassing enough of a fortune so I can launch myself into space on a phallic shaped rocket while everyone else languishes in poverty isn't going to happen, is it? I guess I'll just have to make sure my people have what they need to live instead...
Ha! It's not easily done. My son amassed a Treasury of about 1500, though. Prior to cassette release, I'm going to add a Tips section to the manual. Here are some of them:
• Don't build too much at once. Remember that only one Home and one Business may become occupied every year. Work on making your city stable before expanding too far.
• If you're hit by a disaster, prioritize rebuilding your Roads. If important structures are separated from properties, the impact of the disaster will be worse.
• After a disaster, wait to rebuild structures if you can. The fires will eventually go out, leaving empty land, which is less expensive to build on.
• The School is the most powerful structure in the game. A School provides lots of property value, and education improves Business Confidence. Put as many Homes around Schools as you can.
• Make use of Lakes. They count as Parks for property values, they don't cost anything, they're indestructible, and they provide some protection against Tornadoes.
