Thanks a lot, Lordy, I downloaded most of them.
Also I'm strongly debating simply starting out with a flat region and adding some "ocean" along one edge; it's far easier to build on and looks way better in my opinion. Would you guys get mad? :c
Also I messed with the funding a bit and realized it wouldn't be hard at all to reel in some profit and I finally got less stupid and realized how to get higher wealth housing and stuff.
And TAB doesn't work, I think. I tried it with the NAM stuff and it just switches the size of the piece, and it said Return works as well but it didn't do a damn thing. If I can't figure out a way to cope, we won't use NAM and we'll all be sad.
EDIT; This is turning into something even I'm beginning to love.
I decided to move the map to a flat region and just add a bunch of coastline; it's easier with the NAM stuff and cooler looking imo.
I went ahead with what was already turning into the more popular solution of using a Natural Gas plant and dirty industry; we'll cope until later. I also switched the land size to a medium sized portion because we can have more fun that way.
I know I'm not the greatest planner, but hell, that's what you guys are for. :D
AUGUST 2002After recently taking a trip around your (new) land grant, you've decided it's a great location - you have plenty of white sandy coastlines that can be tourist magnets and even grab the attention of some seaport owners, in the long run, of course.
These last few years have been some quick experiments with funding, including tinkering with power supply and demand, road funding, and the local railroad funding. Your streets are now smooth and the tracks clear; funding has been perfectly tuned to bring in more money than you're spending in the first two years. You've zoned some dirty industrial around the power plant, and they seem to like the railroad idea, and it may establish some future neighbor activity between the districts of Fairview. You've given out plenty of land for residential and some locals have moved into the area growing the population to nearly 500 with plenty of work for everyone. It's looking good!
Your next decision involved which way to grow; a quick overview of your grant would help.
Go to the South and you can almost establish some healthy residential and eventually develop the area into some nice sea-town-like community. Go to the East and you can just build to your heart's desire... until you hit the need for some expensive bridges.
This part really has no formal decision; what would you like to do next?
