Tips
******************************************************************
- Try to start, for example, building a little road ( such as 4
asphalt blocks) and delimit residential and commercial areas
next to it,because nothing will grow if it isn't next to a road;
- Don't forget to supply the road with power lines;
- Remember that residential areas increase your population and
commercial areas increase your cash. Try to balance the use of
them;
- The commerce only will grow if there's people to buy. Some kind
of business (banks, supermarkets, shops, gas stations, hotels,
restaurants, small markets, office buildings, shoppings centers,
cinemas and theaters) will grow depending on the people, on the
competition in its specific segment and on the distance from
residential areas;
- Shoppings Centers need 3 commercial lots horizontally joined for
growing;
- The Hot Hint: Don't build anything such as water pumps, schools,
police departments,
hospitals, etc, if ProjectBrasil doesn't ask you for (showing
you a messagebox). If ProjectBrasil doesn't ask you for , it's
because you don't need to;
- The collected taxes from port units depends on the population
and the amount of business of your city;
- When you put pass the time for the first time,ProjectBrasil will
ask you for building a water pump, next to a lake. Try to choose
a good place for it, thinking about your city growth;
- Don't try to build a big city in few years.Think as a mayor: the
object is to be re-elected the more times you can, if you build
a big city in few years, it'll be hard to keep on growing it...
The object is not to build a big city!
