- It isn't all that difficult, but can be a hassle if you do not own a mouse (as
- I assume is your situation).
- First press "p" to get into the box that displays the cities resources, then
- use the arrows to move to a square that you can afford to get rid of. Once on
- it hit space and the resource will disappear and one of the little dudes in the
- upper left corner will change to an entertainer.
- Get out of the resources box and press "1" to change the guy to a taxman and
- "1" again to change him to a scientist. If you have more than two resouce
- squares changed use "2" for the second guy and so on....
-
- A bit trickey to follow, but easy once you get used to it..
- Hope this helped.
