All water facilities are based on a range, there are no water pipes, so to get water to your buildings you have to biuld the towers/pumps etc, next to your buildings. all buildings in the area will automatically get water within the range of the tower.
The water facilities all have a limited range. Also, is your fresh water facility next to saltwater? It needs to be next to fresh water. Is you fresh water facility right next to freshwater? If it's too far away it won't work.
Try to get approval to 100% to be able to play it in freeplay mode. I know what other people say, but just entering the cheat to "unlock" it won't work, because I entered every cheat I could find, and all ages except the ones I've beat in challenge mode still say ?. -Answer by:mediumaster
A2:
Found it! At the end of dawn of civilization, do not go to the next age! At 6000 people you unlock a garbage dump. Once you build it, move to the next age and you unlock the final building in whatever ages you choose! -Answer by:mediumaster
It's probably because the road is not close enough. Before Global Warming Age, roads provide electricity only three blocks away. So your lots can't be wider than 6 blocks, with a road on both sides, before global warming. I usually build 6x9 lots in early ages.
Remove as much industrial zones as possible (not too much the sims will leave because of having nowhere to work), replace old coal power plants with newer, more effeiceint ones, and build lots of parks.
Click the pick stik looking thing or caller build and selectthe fist on the left selection and select the house one and touch the screen to build them or you can reed the manual -Answer by:dark shaddow
Start by building just around the area that you started at, then when you get far enough into the game, start developing another area at a food source, preferrably on the same side of the map as the start point, and when food sources run out, build farms in their place and a few around them.
Also, at the beginning of each time period, save, go to options and enter MONEYBAGS, then load your challenge game aain, and you can build as much of anything as you feel like. -Answer by:mediumaster
Build more of them, and replace them when their durability falls below about 30 or so years. If they are being overused, they will break. -Answer by:mediumaster
You have to increase your population. I got stuck in the same place. Had to put the game away for a few days. When I went back to it, I worked on increasing the population and it started going up.
Once you Beat Dawn of Civilization in Challenge Mode Stay DONT TRAVEL TO THE NEXT PERIOD. Stay and Get 6000 People and you will unlock it. Once you Built one (You can only make one) Travel and you will unlock a Rare Building in on ALL other Modes. IT WORKS! I Tried IT
On dawn of civilization, DO NOT CONTINUE AFTER REACHING 5000! Instead, stay on the dawn of civilization, and reach 6000 population. you will get a garbage dump. After building this dump, move on to the next age and the dump will be a shell mound, the next age after that, a big tree, and if you complete global warming with this in your city, I believe you can move on to post global warming. -Answer by:mediumaster
The tree doesn't matter at all. Since you already passed the Global Warming stage, all you have to do is this Bulldoze all you parks and trees and then fill it with High Industry (You need to pollute the city as much as possible). Also, make sure all your Zones are High wealth. You will not be able to proceed otherwise. After that, just wait a year or two and then you will receive a notice at your office. The old research doctor will come and ramble on about the effects of pollution and then ask you to accompany him to the future.
Oh and one last thing, I don't know if it's necesary but your calendar will have to be 20XX. Mine was but I'm not sure.
This won't get you to the post global warming - but let the game go through the credits without turning it off. This takes a while but then it goes back to your game and now the Symbol of the Age gets saved. There are three diff symbols for global warming. You need to start all over each time though to get the symbol to change and then when you get it - don't forget to wait through the credits again otherwise it is futile.
Before the game it says the sea ports take a long time to develop so I honestly dont know just wait a while. Maybe they dont have enough food? You have to connect the electricity wires to each Power Plant and you have to make more then one trust me I have 3
It takes a while to develop. Are the wires really close? They need to be. Is there enough electricity? Use the investigate option on the power plant(s). If usage is High or Very High, make a new one. I've found that I needed 16 nuclear plants in the Global Warming age to have enough energy to win the game. Also, put a water tower next to the seaport, make it at least 1x5 panels big, make sure a road is touching all of it, it's touching at least a 6x5 panel water spot, and it should work.
You dont have to actually play the challenge mode to unlock the ages. There are actual a list of cheat codes that let you unlock the diffrent maps for play on "free play mode".
Here are a list of cheats that may be helpful to your game play:
1.MONEYBAGS-this cheats gives you a TON of money
~World Maps (this list will unlock the game play maps)
1. ANCIENT -"Dawn of Civilization"
2. BEYOND -"Post Global Warming"
3. FEUDAL -"Asia Age"
4. HEREANDNOW -"Renaissance"
5. MODERN -"Global Warming"
6. NEWWORLD -"American Prosperity"
7. REBIRTH -"Renaissance II"
8. SAMURAI -"Asia Age II"
To access these codes you must go to the menu where you can select "options" (this is also where you can select "challenge" or "freeplay"). In this mode there will be a box that says "password", click this box and then type in your code. VOILA! You now have your desired code in your game play! Enjoy! :D
You have to get an approval rating of 100%. This requires extremely low taxes, high to highest funding on all expenses, and very low city-wide pollution.
Taxes need to get to 2% or lower, which requires a population around 300,000 if you have fully funded or highly funded your expense sheet. Concentrate spending money on education, research and hospitals first while trying to keep the other expenses right at Medium. As more people move in, more $ is made and you can then start lowering taxes. The lower the taxes, the more people and business will move in.
After you reach ~25% approval, you will be given 2 facilities that lower polution. Build your seaport and your airport close together. Then when you recieve the research facilities, build them right across the street from the seaport and airport to wipe out their pollution. It takes a massive amount of parks to combat pollution from electricity plants and commercial zones. Get your pollution down and up your approval rating.
A2 is so wrong all passwords only unlock bonus maps if you have the period. enter modern and go global warming and a1 is right if he is a member of cheat masters give him 5 points
I had the same prob. but I realized that those unlock different terrain one with nothing one that is moderate and one with everything you still have to unlock the era in challenge mode,S.A.M.
