For minimal FP investment it solved a lot of space issues and I was able to prosper much faster. Was I going to keep it forever? I figured no. This is not even considering the FP needed for the goods for Inno and Traz! Traz was not an option as 70 tiles was waaaay too much space for one GB. A level 1 Capitol and level 3 HS were all I needed. But FP production! I would have gotten 1 FP and nothing else from it. Inno would have provided way too much population for me at the time. I also now had room to start adding event buildings! I had more population and supplies than I did with all the other stuff so could put in more goods production with all that room. It more than doubled the space I had available to me. I got rid of houses, supply farms, happiness crap and a bunch of roads all in 77 tiles. I also had Goat Farms and such producing supplies. It was enough to run all the production I could fit at the time. And forget what it is like with maybe 30 FP/day coming in, including the hourly.Įarly in IA had 72 tiles of housing alone, not including roads, that provided 942 population. I think some players forget what it is like to be playing with 30 Expansions (480 tiles) to cram everything into. I am going to defend Capitol as a viable solution to population at an early age. Capitol has no use when you reach end game while Innovation tower will sustain its value because it produces FP's and is cheap to power level later on. It can make some space in your city by removing housing but you should go for Innovation tower instead. It became obsolete long time ago since events became more regular thing and most event grand prize buildings had large amounts of population.Ĭapitol is kind of a trap building since it is a real short-term solution. Habitat used to be somewhat common building back in the days, when events were not running almost all the time and people in latest eras needed more population besides Innovation tower to handle population costs of multiple regular buildings. It is absolutely mandatory if you are active player. Alcatraz is great if you fight and you should fight at least some amount since it is way more efficient than handling everything with goods. The only viable thing is Alcatraz from those 3 GB's.
