Perhaps the most frustrating thing about this strategy is that it seems to work fairly well even without a PR Firm, which means it is a decent idea to go ahead with the preparations for this strategy either way. You'll crush your opponent unless they manage to do the same. Work on goals instead of having to worry about keeping your Reputation up. Maybe build residential tiles if you can, but build lakes if you must. So you will probably never suffer from the population penalty for going bankrupt. Most importantly, your income "underflows" if it tries to go below -5, meaning that you cannot be penalized any further for getting below -5.

Do the best you can to stay afloat, but you'll probably at worst generate $4 from a lake on any given turn. This costs $20, gives -2 Income, and gives +1 Reputation for each red line you cross after building it.Īfter that, don't bother worrying about Income. (Not too hard with a decent commercial district and a lake or two.) Then get a PR Firm if it comes up. At any rate, the actual way you do this doesn't really matter, the more important thing is that it isn't too terribly expensive.Īs the C stack approaches, try to accumulate at least $30.

The most straightforward option, which will work regardless of the character of the Real Estate Market, is investing in a Community Park with a lot of neighbors. Some good ways to do this include a Water Purification Plant, various Borders, etc. Get a lot of Reputation, preferably 10+, during the B stack period. Ultimately, my strategy boiled down to this. These tiles can be one of three Common tiles (Suburbs, Community Parks, or Heavy Factories), or a specialty tile. Otherwise just hope it isn't in the stack." My opponent and I were both rather frustrated at how incredibly effective my strategy was, and are curious if there are any good answers about ways to prevent it other than "keep $10 on hand for the entire C stack and immediately make PR Firm into a lake if you can't buy it yourself. Starting our game night by investing in our local community park, playing Suburbia. Yesterday I played a two player game of Suburbia that I wound up winning by a landslide. Everything you love in classic Suburbia now with numerous upgrades.
