Ideas for 3rd City

[Hysteria]

So my first two cities look like this 

#1

800 Infra
1000 Land
4 Farms
4 Banks 
3 Shopping Malls
3 wind 
1 Barracks
1 Coal Power Plant

#2
700 infra
500 land
3 farms
3 wind
3 shopping
4 banks

 

For 3rd city any suggestions? I know I probably will need a military to protect my commercial buildings.

Why do you have 3 winds / 1 coal when your primary city only has 800 infra?

 

IMO, focus on some manufacturing.

Better replace those wind powers with coal power, much cheaper and takes less improvement slots overall. Pollution index doesn't have that much effect. What you need is more land and a police station. Taking care of disease can wait until very much later.

Creating more farms will surely make you independent from the Food Market, meaning you'll no longer need to buy it. But, I suggest you mine more raw materials and refine them into something useful, such as Muntions or Gasoline. Get rid of windmills, they're so costly, and add coal power stations.

Yeah, 1% of crime is probably equal to the population decrease of 10-15%. Haven't really measured it...

 

And I won't worry about pollution that much. You can survive off one recycling center when you hit 1000 infra, and hopefully replace the coal plants and mines with nuclear plants later in the game.

Why?

My crime is .7% 

 

Will more land increase my food production?

You lose ([infra*Crime_Rate*10]-25) citizens from the crime rate, count it by yourself whether that means something or not

 

Yes, more land equals to increased farm output
