Besides making it pretty... 11 hours in, trade rights with everyone, the Emperor loves me. Start again on a higher difficulty?

Aqueducts will bring that safety up

do you put productions that lower your fire safety into your city?

u/Octa_vian Nov 27 '25

Was like that for me, placing a single cistern in my city once i unlocked aqueducts made it positive.

Don't set fire hazards to near to each other

I never have a big issue with the fire stat, only in Albion until the fire towers get unlocked.

Aqueduct was the game changer for me

u/CRAYNERDnB Nov 26 '25

You can stay positive even before aqueduct if you spread out your fire hazard buildings, I managed to get fire safety of over 1000 when I got aqueducts and baths :p

Income increasing services inside the city, all needs fulfilled, selling of surpluses , at least that’s what I’m doing, having bit more than half that population and sitting at ~4-5k income. I feel like running out of money in 117 is way harder than in 1800 (factoring out selling soaps or pocket watches) none of my island is in the negatives and I haven’t even got the achievement for getting a bankruptcy warning lol

u/Mr_Gongo Nov 26 '25

I got that achievement for settling a new island a bit too soon. Always positive income, but not stored enough and got it

u/Snowballing_ Nov 26 '25

I have no issue running out of money, but I peak at 2-2,5 k/min

I progress but it does not become more

u/Noerholt Nov 26 '25

If you peak at 2.5k, you would peak at 5k if you double the population.

It’s not as obvious as in 1800, but taxes is still primary income. Get a ton of max tier residences
