If things start getting THAT bad, we'll just have to roll out the tanks and ride their asses down.

after building a wood industry, i suggest either hotels or an university.

all people must be equally educated. only this can solve the problem of wages.

Alright, power plant is finished. (And staffed somehow, we seemed to have got a lot of engineers at some point)



Honestly, I am kinda stumped right now. Where do we expand from here?

build a new city for heavy industry. if you don't have it already, build an university, and an airport.

Obviously you've got a lot of college educated people floating around.  A power plant and airport will employ women.  Built an actual college and a cathedral for the men to work at.  And build a TV station - can't be Big Brother without a TV station.

Milk from a climaxing goat just tastes better.

Can we build anything military related? Like shooting ranges, barracks, or bullet factories?

Just armories and guard towers, and he's already got those.

For reference, they determine how big your military force can be.  Armories employ/supply up to three Generals each.  The Palace employs/supplies four Soldiers, Guard Towers three Soldiers each.  But you can only build as many Towers as you have Generals.  You can also build Jails and Police Stations - police lower crime and arrest protesters, instead of having to let your soldiers just kill them.

When you really piss people off for a long time, some people will run off to the woods to become Rebels.  I've only seen it happen a few times, but Rebels occasionally launch attacks against your military buildings, and your soldiers will rush in to defend them.  If you get a whole lot of unhappy people and Rebels, mobs will storm the Palace.

Don't forget the Army base and Colonial fort in Dungeon mode. Anyway, off to do some stuff but I will take these suggestions into account when I get back to run this thing.

The Army base doesn't actually do anything except take up space.  I don't have the expansions, so I have no idea how the dungeon works.

I had a bitch of a time making this work on my comp.  Apparently, both my stock DVD drive, and my external DVD drive can read the CD well enough for the game to be installed, but not enough for the CD to register as in the drive so the game can run.  Had to resort to reinstalling my old CD burner.

I mean the Army base that the player can build, it houses soldiers and their familys in a VERY nice enviroment for them with free food, medical treatment, and religion all in one place. It gives off a bunch of government control and works as an armory too (Alongside allowing 2 military based edicts). The Dungeon is a super prison staffed by soldiers, anyone who goes in comes out a loyal little sheep or dies in the process. Yeah these are both from the "Paradise Island" Expansion, along with the social security edict I passed a while back.




Building a TV station, now our people can have our propaganda normal television programming in their homes!

Wait... What's happening...

OH GOD.
