civil war in campaign 4

[MJS WARLORD]

you need 3,000 population to go from louisville , sometimes i can get it.
you need the whole population of atlanta to be 60,000 the nearest i get is 44,00
at the point it kicks me off i only have 63,000 in jacjsonville , you need 70,000

not sure what i am doing wrong

i note that sometimes the 3,000 target does not move ???

[Bansheedragon]

I was able to get 70.000 in Jacksonville, I connected the farms in the area around the city and had trains going from the various cities.
But I cant for the life of me get Atlanta to grow, at best the population is stagnant and sometimes its dwindling, but never growing.
I cant get much in the way of passengers to Atlanta either.

I could really use some help with this as well.

Build an attraction to Atlanta asap to get more passengers wanting to travel there.

For city growth, I used warehouse between Atlanta and Jacksonville to gather stuff ( I usually get wheat, corn, sugar, milk, veggies and fruit). Then distribute to cities from warehouse. Other needed materials should connect directly, like wheat for beer and cows for meat.

put a attraction in jacksonville but you cant put one in atlanta

[Bansheedragon]

Need at least 60.000 people in a city to build an attraction, which just so happens to be the goal I need to reach.

[MJS WARLORD]

teied many different ways of doing the bottom 3 population bits i can only get any 2 of the 3 before time runs out

You need the attraction to get that 3k people task, obviously you must first grow Atlanta to be able to build it =).

I had my old save for this mission, and at the end I had 77k ppl in Atlanta, and 105k ppl in Jacksonville. You just need to deliver lots of stuff to those cities, and they will flourish.

I didn't do this, but it might help if you build second station in city, if you need more platforms to ease traffic.

And how do you get a city to grow when nobody wants to stay there?
I must have connected every farm and town in the area to Atlanta, I think I had something on the order of 20 trains coming and going to the city all the time, yet no mater how much I try to deliver the population either dwindles of remains stagnant.

Start with delivering corn, wheat, beer, meat, wood which are the basic demands. Then continue with goods like sugar, cloth, fruits, clothing when the city is big enough, etc. If you want to continue growing, build a museum at 60.000.

There is a list of demanded goods and storage of these goods in the city screen.
If you don't know, how cities grow, best use the sandbox mode (no opponents, endless money) and get some practice.

[Bansheedragon]

I know how things work, played the previous 3 chapters just fine.
Just Atlanta that seems to not want to grow no matter how much I deliver.
In fact I was delivering so much wood, corn and wheat that I got the warning icon saying that the stores were full.

I had no problem getting cities to grow in the past even if I dont deliver every single good thats in demand.

[MJS WARLORD]

i just tried again and the 300 target never moved

[stlin]

It does not matter how much of a good you supply, just that you supply every one needed, even if from half way across the board. Rob other cities too, of goods you are suppling to them. I agree Atlanta was tough, but it can be done.

[carrandas]

Those timings are annoying. Managed to get up to 56.000 in Atlanta. If only I had another month, grmbl.

[Saulius]

Have a look to my setups for ch4
May be you will get some ideas

Revived this thread because I was also looking for the same answer. Unfortunately, at the time at the quest, Atlanta may not have the means to sustain growth. Restart the chapter and observe that there is no industry in Atlanta, but you are allowed to start one. I recommend to build a meat factory. Thus will allow the city to grow from the start and, hopefully surpass the limit of 60000 inhabitants even before you reach the final task.

Agreed. Make sure you put an industry in Atlanta from the start of the campaign that will help support initial growth and you should be able to complete in time to get the gold tick.
