New Houston Scenario v1.1 by Brandon Rokohl (a.k.a. WodahsEht1@aol.com) SCENARIO "HISTORY" -------- --------- This is the second release of the scenario. I hope its first release never makes it to AOL... v1.0 - First release, used OAKLAND graphic. v1.1 - Second release, made new RED background and corrected the header. INTRODUCTION ------------ New Houston is a promising city. It has grown from nothing to a size of 35,000 sims in less than 70 years. But its mayors do make mistakes... You come in and decide to change a few things. The economy is booming, so you decide a nice new flat tax rate of 8% would be nice. Unfortuneately, the sims think otherwise. Today, on January 12th, 2072, a riot is to break out because of your actions. You must muffle these looters and then you should lower taxes. After removing the immediate threat, you must build the population to 45,000 sims with more than $5,000 (minus bonds) in the bank to win, otherwise your past mistakes will lead the sims to vote you out of office. DIFFICULTY ---------- Easy GENERAL STRATEGIES ------- ---------- First, of course, remove the rioters and any fires they start. This proves easy enough with use of police and firemen, unless you let one group of rioters or fire get out of hand. If this happens, I advise you to re-start the scenario. Second, Start building to the city's East side. Put in a nice mix of Res, Com and Ind zones. Be sure to space some police out here, and to add other utilities (1 fire department, 1 school, and 1 hospital sounds nice.) As you do this, make sure funds are still above $500 or so. Third, wait for five years. If you zoned enough, you will win. Hurrah! HOW TO USE CORRECTLY --- -- --- --------- It is extremely easy to use this scenario. Simply move the NEWHOUST.SCN file to the SC2000\SCENARIO directory and you're set. Or you can rename the NEWHOUST.SCN file to NEWHOUST.SC2 and use the city as an ordinary, non-cheated, city! (In fact, you can do this to any scenario, but you should always do it to a backup copy of the scenario, or you'll lose the original!) Now go into SC2000 (for DOS or WINDOWS), click on the Load Scenario button, and click on the New Houston scenario. Then sit back and stop some mean rioters.
