SimCity/Rio de Janeiro


 * Disaster: Flood

The easiest way to handle the flooding borders on cheating: at the start of the scenario, pause the game and bulldoze all the coastline. Be sure you get every tile. With no coastline, flooding cannot occur. If you're not careful, though, it'll usually turn out that you have one or two tiles of coastline left, and a flood will occur there.

Solving the Flood problem is important but in order for you to win the scenario you will also need to combat the other City problems such as lowering the Crime rate and the Polution problem its not nessesary to reduce the crime rate to zero or even get rid of all pollution but you must reduce these two significantly.

bulldoze all of the zones in the far south east of the map that needs to be a metro park in real life called "morro cara de cao". if you re-build this Park it will help win the scenario by lowering the crime rate. Some time after the Olympics of 2016 a shanty town slum area sprang up here and these citizens can be relocated near the center of the map after you bulldoze the Industrial areas and replace them with residential zones.dont forget to Replace the Coal power with nuclear power but only if these plants are located significantly far from the edge of the map other wise replacing them will serve no benifits becasue the game tolerates pollution on the map but only if its near the edge of the map where land values are exspected to be low anyways.

In real life the Downtown "Centro neighborhood" is located near the edge of the map next to the Santos Dumont Airport. its a good idea to relocate the downtown comercial district in a more central location on the map theres varius reasons for this such as the comercial areas near the airport would never reach full potential becasue of the low land values of being near the edge of the map and exaserbated by the pollution of the Airport. another reason for re-locating the downtown would be that this area of the map is excelent land for Industrial zones that your trying to relocate away from the center of the map. make sure that after you re-zone the area that theres atleast minimum police coverage if you leave any entire districts without police coverage it hurts your score. the large forested area can remain a natural forest and you dont need to build police stations or fire stations there.
