Gifts
This section details the Gifts and how to obtain them.
Note: All gifts require a cost of $100 each. All raise land values (except Land Fill). All are 3x3 in size. Only the Land Fills can be built over water. You can have up to four at a time, but being full will delay further gifts from being awarded until you have room for more.
Note: The requirements for Amusement Parks / Casinos can be fulfilled separately. You can, for example, get your first three by building roads, bulldoze them after getting gifted with the three, then get schools and hospitals over time and still recieve your fourth and fifth gifts. This works similarly for Land Fill.
Amusement Park
- Requirements
- 300 roads (30.0 km)
- 400 roads (40.0 km)
- 500 roads (50.0 km)
- 6 Schools and Hospitals (total)
- 10 Schools and Hospitals (total)
- Effects
- Sharply raises Land Value of local areas
- $200 yearly income
- You are given a choice between this or Casino
Bank
- Requirements
- 10,000 population (City) and have 0 to 1,999 funds remaining
- Effects
- Sharply raises Land Value of local areas
- Allows withdrawing a $10000 loan, paying back $500 per year for 21 years (total $10500 returned)
- If you can't pay $500 for your loan at the end of a year, you instantly lose the game!
It is technically an interest rate of 0.4479% to 0.4936%, depending on when you withdraw the loan.
Casino
- Requirements
- 300 roads (30.0 km)
- 400 roads (40.0 km)

- Effects
- Sharply raises Land Value of local areas
- $300 yearly income
- +1 Crime across the entire map (one color change takes +32)
- You are given a choice between this or Amusement Park
The +1 Crime affects the entire map, so it doesn't matter where the Casino is placed, as everywhere is affected. However, the +1 Crime is such a small effect that it can largely be ignored. Five of them wouldn't really cause problems, except for the most serious optimizers.
