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 in 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!
