Man of the Demoneye
Requiem in Mortis
My experience was with
Sim City 3000, and my cities always ended up going bankrupt within a year or two.
I just used a stock premande city and burned it to the ground while laughing maniacally.
My problem was that I would always build the biggest, most expensive stuff I could, and then have a very small city for it to power. I'd have two Water Treatment Plants, an Airport, six different Highways and Railways, and a Fusion Plant- all supporting a city of about 600 people.
