() Deadly Facilities and Combos that Have Negative Effects on Residents The Local Combo and Casino/Pachinko Parlor () are both available fairly early to build in the game (at least it's the case on the first map). It's not recommended to have these on the map until you have access to create items and enough research points to create them. The reason for this is that all stores in the the Local combo reduces Work and/or Talent. The Casino/Pachinko Parlour is especially deadly since ALL stats are affected, some of which have double negative (two minus signs) which may cause stats to plummet if a resident frequents the facility. With items, you can reduce the effects or even completely make them disappear! It's probably rather difficult to force facilities to grant positive effects given the fact that you've used the same item multiple times already to rid the minus signs (and the game keeps track of how many of each item was applied). I'm guessing the maximum times you can use any item is 4 - 5. This may include failures/when no change occurs after you used an item. However, do note that some of the shops in the combo (such as the Cake Shp) are required for job unlocks so if you want to have or need the shops early, then just be mindful of how far certain stats drop for a resident as having low numbers will affect their chances of getting new jobs as well as how much they work. You can always counter the effects with the use of items as well. How to Win the Bid to Host the Ulympics? Every four years around May, your assistant will inform you that the city has been chosen as a candidate to host the Ulympics (or World Sports Festival in Japanese ()). Your job is to show the world that your city would make the best host for the games. You have until end of July to do this. Unfortunately, there are no instructions on what to do and how to do it, and getting the town to rank 1 in Land Price won't cut it. Here are some tips from some Japanese players on how to win the bid. (Please note that no one is 100% certain of the conditions ^^): Having residents in an athletic profession such as the Soccer Player helps up the chances. Conditions may include having all of the following: an Athlete, 1 Sports Combo, 1 Entrepreneur, 1 Politican, 1 TV Station, and 1 Security Co. Assuming no other factors affected things, the conditions they listed worked for me. Winning the bid will net you $250,000 as a reward. There is also a citywide boost to shops' stats powerups. (-shiawase) How to Win the Bid to Host the World Soccer Championship? The winning conditions seem to be the same as the Ulympics except you need a Pilot and Heliport as well. Having a Soccer Player may help too. The reward for this one is $350,000. There's probably some sort of bonus that comes from winning this as well.

Miscellaneous Tips

Image is from Zaibatsu Towns 2 (http://kairosoft.net/mobile/zaibatu2.html) but still applies to this game. Combos are created within a 3 x 3 window. Here's what the images are saying: Left image: Structures needed for a combo can be arranged like this Middle image: All of A and all of C are 2 individual buildings (think Zoo or Theme Park). This layout will also result in a combo. Right image: If two 4-square structures are placed side by side and another facility is placed at the end, this WILL NOT get you a combo as building C is not within the 3 x 3 window. Try to literally build around Offices since the chances of new jobs being discovered may happen faster the closer a store is to an Office. Mind the radius of the Office and Office (L) so you don't build unnecessary Offices. Trees and plants have additional effects such as producing items which can be "harvested" in the first week of December, and allowing residents to discover research points while passing by. Secondhand Book Fair () is useful for obtain research points in a short amount of time. (See Town Development Projects.) To achieve the number 1 rank in the annual Land Price Ranking () in the end of October, only one store needs to have a land value of over $75,000. You can achieve this by comboing around, say, a Farm or any 4-square facility. Try to get the facility over $60,000 (as close to $70,000 as possible, in fact) and then top off the remaining amount needed with the Land Price Seed ( ). To get the Kairo House, it's recommended that you switch the resident to a high paying profession. Once the resident has saved over $20,000, change to the Kairo Prgrmr job and the upgrade of the Castle should follow shortly ... assuming the resident hasn't caused his or her savings to fall below $20,000 at some point.

Still on the subject of the Kairo House, you can do a "double-upgrade" if you catch a resident in time while his/her house is being upgraded from a Mansion to Castle. Since both the Castle and Kairo House require $20,000, simply switch the resident from Entrepreneur or Alien to Kairo Programmer while the upgrade to Castle is happening. Re: hosting sports events: Try to assign residents "permanent jobs" that correspond to the winning conditions. That way, you don't have to remember switching people to the required careers every 4 years. Appeal, Land Price, and Move Coupon unlock once the city upgrades to Town rank. IQ, Skill, and Rename Seed unlock once city upgrades to Super Town rank. Product Seed unlocks once Venture Town () rank is achieved. The best jobs for Part-Timers are ones that pay 40 and above since with such a salary, they can upgrade their houses quite fast. Be wary of your expenses though (such as road types and switching jobs.) The Model and/or Genius jobs are decent for Freelancers to change to since their stat requirements are fairly low and can get them to upgrade their houses to Apartment or even Mansion rather quickly. However, the cost to change to them are 135 and 150 respectively. A tip found within the game: Staying Hungry -- According to the new book "Staying Hungry: Working in the Big City," people who get high-paying jobs tend to lose their drive, making them unlikely to discover new jobs. Sometimes going back to a life of freelancing can give one a new perspective on things, freeing you up to find new jobs.
