While building a City is the ultimate build in this game, it also turns out to be the ultimate downfall of the island. The City is never happy, makes more pollution than any industry, overpopulates, and stops you from having Exports to sell. To top that off, an 'unhappy' City reduces income by thousands of dollars in a month, so an island often dies within 5 years after the City appears. Game Over.

I have never been able to play the game on Freeform without a City destroying it all. It's boring without the city, so I'd like to try again. -With a City that doesn't end the game-. So what strategies do you know to keep a freeform island with a City, running? (If any who remember playing game still exist!)
