~Sim City


`A Brief Collection of Terrain Editing Tips  -  By Simon Burrows


~`[Read the article in  Issue 31 of Cheet Sheets entitled  Sim City
~`Classics (in the hints, tips and suggestions section)  if you are 
~`unsure about the Terrain Editor mentioned here...]


`This tip goes out to all of you with a version  of Sim City which
`includes a Terrain Editor (eg, Sim City Classics).  Quite simply, 
`you can use the  terrain editor  to cheat by supressing  disaster 
`problems  such as  flood and  fire.  If you have these disasters, 
`pause  the  game, pop-up  the  terrain editor and cover  over the 
`affected  segments of your city with dirt  (or  whatever else you 
`might fancy).  When you  begin play, the problem  will have gone.  
`Note that this will not, however, work for monsters, tornados etc 
`because these are not actually part of the ground  (duhhhh!)  but 
`moving sprites.

`As mentioned in Issue 31 of Cheets  Sheets, you can also  use the 
`Terrain  Editor to cut  down on  bulldozing costs:  whenever  you 
`need to  bulldoze some  land so it is  suitable  for building on, 
`apply  dirt to it  instead!  This  can be  especially  useful for 
`clearing up the  mess after  an earthquake/big fire  etc., or  to 
`clear sections of underfunded road/railroad for reconstruction.

`A final tip: By using the water option of the Terrain Editor, you 
`can make canals through your city.  If you then build a port at 1
`end of the canal, you can direct  ships along it by  generating a 
`path for them to follow with the channel option. This is probably 
`only for fun as I don't think ships relieve traffic problems!
