I managed to make this much income with a tiny city within hours of booting up the game again, I don’t know what they did, but it seems they broke the economy so hard it’s now TOO easy to make money.

      I am not sure, I don’t know if it has, I assume not. And I can’t time travel so even if it hadn’t I can’t say “game is fixed” when it’s not.

        Looking it up, it doesn’t sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.

        My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy. Other changes include making utility exports less lucrative and roads etc more expensive.

          I hope the economy 2 patch actually does that and doesn’t break the economy further, I am glad they’re doing something about it.

      When did you last play? I literally just played the game and sometimes just didn’t place some services- I think a good tip rn is just advance from a small city quickly, as later in the game it’s broken and gives you unlimited money as your people somehow make insane amounts of money. But in the early game advancing is your friend to gain cash from the advancements

        That’s what I meant with at the beginning. As soon as I started making more profit than losses, it became very easy, which also made it kind of boring.
