Business Advertising

Learn about business deals in SimCity 2000. While not as formal as later games, you could get a military base that offered benefits but also increased pollution and crime.

Hey there! So, you're diving into SimCity 2000 and wondering about business advertising, right? Well, it's a bit different in this game compared to some of the others in the series. Think of it less as 'advertising' and more as 'opportunities that pop up'.

In SimCity 2000, you won't find the formal 'business deals' like you do in SimCity 3000 or SimCity 4, where a petitioner asks you to build something specific. However, there's a mechanic that's pretty close: the military base.

Occasionally, you'll get the chance to build a military base in your city. Now, this isn't a direct cash-in-hand deal like some other games. You don't get paid a monthly fee for it. But, it does come with a pretty significant perk: you gain the ability to call in the national guard during emergencies. That can be a lifesaver when things go south!

Heads up, though! Just like most things in SimCity, there's a trade-off. Military bases aren't exactly the cleanest neighbors. They tend to increase both pollution and crime in your city. So, you'll need to weigh whether the emergency response capability is worth the environmental and social impact. It's a classic SimCity balancing act!

So, while there isn't a specific 'Business Advertising' button or mechanic to manage in SimCity 2000, keep an eye out for that military base offer. It's the closest thing you'll get to a business deal in this installment, and it can definitely impact your city's dynamics.
