![]() ![]() The Courier again amazingly gets something right when it reports that a dam was damaged in the quake – a few were taken out in the initial quake and another one was destroyed by fire. Undoubtedly a human cost, because at least a few buildings went down around the city, and also an economic cost. In any case, this earthquake has definitely come with a cost. Maybe it’s a bit cheap, but then again maybe it’s cheap of the game to spring an earthquake on me after 138 years of no earthquakes. This is a good time to use the zone-only view so you can try to avoid specialty buildings and services as much as possible.ĭo you think it’s cheap to pause the game to contain the fires? Feel free to think that, but the makers put that capability in the game, and you don’t have to enter a cheat code to do it (and there are several cheat codes in SimCity that make the game a whole lot easier.) So I don’t consider this cheating. Once that’s done, the fire will have nowhere to spread and the firefighter units can safely contain and put out the blaze. By pausing the game, you can destroy all the properties, roads, power lines, trees and other things immediately surrounding the fire without worrying about its spreading. Fires are easy to take care of in SimCity 2000. That fire is going to spread all over the place… right? Looking at this fire, you might think downtown is fucked. A massive fire started in downtown Hell after the coal plant exploded. Several buildings, along with a section of highway, were immediately destroyed, among them the central coal plant that powered a large part of the city. One morning in November 2038, not a year after that headline, an earthquake – the first earthquake in the 138 years that the city has existed – shook Hell. ![]() The Courier is referring here to the two solar plants powering the upper-class southwestern district of the city, but this story also acted as a harbinger of something else that is soon to come. In this case, that story had to do with Hell’s very first power plant. Sometimes – just on rare occasions – the Courier, Hell’s terrible newspaper, gets a story right. ![]()
