Some Info on Military Bases
Over the past few weeks, some people have sent me e-mail's asking
me "How do I get my military bases to 'grow'?". According to Maxis, you can't.
But there are a few ways to "speed up" it's growth:
- Bring roads, highways, and other transportation items out to the base.
- Although the simulator won't let you run water pipes or power lines
through government land, run it out as close as you can.
- Put some commerce and industry near the base to help the overall growth
of the area (It would not be wise to put residential out there.
- Here's a tip just in case you don't like where the government puts the
base period: right before you hit 60,000, save your city. If you don't like
where the military puts the base, load in the saved city and try again.
If none of that works, it might be better just to forget about it. Military bases
do bring crime, traffic, and pollution to your city, and it might just
be better to forget about it.
For more info on each of the military bases, see the
Military Bases page.
And overall, be creative.
