SIMCITY4 MANUAL AND WALKTHROUGH BOOK

SECTION C ADVANCED TUTORIALS

SECTION C: ADVANCED TUTORIALS C.01: General Points This here is the new and improved walkthrough until you get your first skyscraper. All in 16 years too! It used to be called the IdOIt's walkthrough to 40,000 but that sounds kind of mean. So now I am calling it the advanced tutorials also, the new name reflects the improvements to it. The aim of it is to help you understand the basic mechanics of city building and how to get a good profitable city started. I am not sure whether is it because of Patch 2, but this time round, I reached 40,000 population in about 10 years. Of course this time round, I was more reckless with my spending. I spend more mostly because I am quite certain of the effects of each spending. Therefore it should be noted that with the exception of this tutorial, you should not spend so much and you should leave more money in the bank. Take note of the following: Background Information

1) Read the earlier sections especially Section B, Parts 1 to 6.

2) Except for the first few months, you will always be making profits so no business deals

Construction: 1) Statistics taken at the start of the year. 2) My constructions done at start of the year. 3) Always build when paused. 4) For those zero cost and maintenance rewards build

them as soon as possible. I usually will not tell you where to build it. But base its placement on its effects.

Notes on Tutorial itself 1) I will not be repeating the word build over and over

again. Whenever I mention a structure in BLOCK LETTERS, it means build it.

2) Unless mentioned otherwise, all zoning is MEDIUM density.

3) I will refer to building instructions by use of square brackets. Thus reference to the first instruction in year 0 will be like [0-1]. You will see these numbers beside each instruction.

Adapt to your situation: There is often a slight difference in the rate of increase each year even if you do exactly the same thing. Therefore, focus on the population numbers and income, which I have given and compare it with your situation. If my figures are higher, than just wait a while to reach it. If my figures are lower than your then just proceed. C.02: Region & God Mode

1) Region: This here would be the final setup of the three cities that I will be using in the tutorial. They are all mid-sized maps. The numbers coincide with their tutorial numbers. I will introduce you to my puppet mayors later on in each

tutorial. Bonus points for those who can spot from where are they inspired from. ---------------------------------- |Aureliano(2)|D'Uberville(1,3,5) | ---------------------------------- |VillaSanGirolamo(4)| ---------------------

1) God Mode: G-1) Create new Region selecting plain G-2) Go into the city and immediately hit pause. G-3) Optional: Use the mesa tool and click slightly on the right side of the map. Use quick brush and spread across the right side of the map. If this confuses you then forget it. This really is optional since I did not even do it for my tutorials G-5) Fill the place with trees thickly. Especially the top left hand side. C.03: Tutorial 1: D'Urberville, Year 0-11 This here is an explanation of how the city plan is laid out. To save space, I obviously cannot reproduce the entire plan of the city tile by tile. Hence this mini map plan is used as an explanation. Diagram C.03(1): Final City Layout for tutorial 1 I: Industrial Zone R: Residential Zone C: Commercial Zone G: Green Belt =: Free space for future highway or mass transit. It is 4 tiles long w: Waste to power P: Coal plant A: Air force base ?: Possible place for cemetery .: Black space for amenities, or pubic transport stations.

Note that in the first tutorial only one quod the top left is filled up. And the other commercial zones in the area are not based on the above design but based on the design as seen in Diagram C.03(2): Magnification of Industrial Zones.

D'Urberville – PLAN

This is the main plan of the city until the end of tutorial 1. The numbers below refer to the instructions as to

when to build it. I will not put numbers below those areas left for expansion or the greenbelt. Also some areas

have two dates of construction because the initial construction does not exhaust the entire area. Therefore I

will list only the first date and in the instructions for the subsequent build dates, I will refer to the first

instruction. I will place a (m) in that box to indicate areas of multiple construction dates.
