I can see a few banks in there. Banks produce valuables fairly slowly so they might be a better choice to keep your ratings high once you have a few.
@GamingByGeeksАй бұрын
Another awesome suggestion! Thanks!
@PatSob87Ай бұрын
The growing rule is something like either drop or collect any type of good (including passenger) once each in 5 different stations every month (or was it three month?). So, all you need is 5 bus stops with a bunch of buses zooming around. Then building your own roads in a spiral layout will encourage the city to place a building instead of a road. A better challenge is the city builder script, that requires specific goods upon an increasing demand to be delivered to the city every month, but I do like the rather "real life" layout you did :)
@GamingByGeeksАй бұрын
Yeah, I tried to make it more "real life" as who wants to see 5 buses whizzing around at high speed with me desperately trying to fill the time...
@RustyWalkerАй бұрын
"Active" stations, not just stations. Active means a vehicle has been present and unloading or loading that month. This is why doing town-to-town routes doesn't work as well for growth., but as you did in the mid-game, as long as you have 5 active stations town-to-town connections help with finance. You can also use the tactic of only taking people from smaller towns to the larger town and not back the other way with "no loading." To make it easier on yourself, use spread stations to move the stops gradually outwards, removing the inner ones as you go, and increase the density of vehicles at the same time. This means that they won't get oversaturated. Station ratings need you to keep cargo waiting below 100. Don't forget to place your HQ and build a statue when you have the money to give all stations a ratings boost. When you have megacash, you could power fund "fund new buildings" every two days. I think funding lasts 3 months for when you don't have megacash, but it shows in the town window as "funded" while it's active. Don't use the "fund new roads" option. Advertising campaigns also help. I forget the precise coverage, but you can guesstimate that small is village size, medium is town size, and large is massive conurbations, cities, or sprawling metropolises in general. Keep station rating high by using the two vehicles with the highest top speeds, and keep autorenew active while you have large profits. Autorenew the second highest top speed to the highest, and vice versa if you run out of new vehicles.

Oh, howdy! I remember what I picked for them to buy...... Weapons. Manufacture weapons right next to that big native building. This way they won't buy up items you need like pottery, furniture, oil,wine. If you put your weapons warehouse I mean next door to the larger community native hut they buy an unbelievable amount of weapons. I might have even built 12 weapons workshops. Now you can keep your marble to build the Augustus content! ❤ Keep it up mate!

I always make this level. The idea is to first build the 3 or 4 missions on the native lands next to a road. Then on a short while you can build on their lands. Do not overspend but make small amounts of weapons to seel. The wolves are easy. As soon as they gather somewhere, build a military wall and trap them there until you expand and kill them with towers later.

Dont rember if you can built a second harbour closer to your weapons warehouse. Worth sacrificing a fishery for. Or make another warehouse near the harbour and set it to get weapons from the other warehouse wich should be set on accepting weapons. The warehouse getting weapons will still send weapons to the harbour as it is set to export. The galleys buying weapons also hold up galleys coming for oil. Always also have a wheat and a fruit farm. Your citizens crave variety.
