Unlimited tokens/cash guide

-JVS- · October 27, 2010

I discovered a method to get all the tokens and money you'll ever need. Useful for building blueprints, if you don't want to spend a lot of time building support cities, or if you just have financial problems.

There is a bug in the game which let you "steal" all of Omnicorp's money. This guide exploit this bug, and take it one step further.

The basic idea is you use one city to steal from Omnicorp, and another to buy tokens and thus giving Omnicorp back it's money. If you repeat the circle, eventually you will end up with all of Omnicorp's tokens and money. Although not unlimited, its pretty damn much

This is how you do it:

1. Create a new city. I'll call it "Thief". It's recommended using a map with several slots.

2. Once the Thief city has loaded first time I built a road connection, city hall, etc. But it's probably not necessary.

3. Open the trade panel and trade between Thief and Omnicorp. Steal all of Omnicorp's money by dragging the cash slider all the way to the left.

Note: Where you let go off the slide determines the amount of money you get. So drag it and don't let go of it until its all the way to the left. It will drop back to 0 immediately, but it doesn't matter. Close the trade window, and Thief city will now have a cashflow of +999 999,-

(If you've already been trading with Omnicorp, the amount of money you can steal will be lower. This just mean you will have to do step 7 more times to get the amount of tokens you want.)

4. Create a second city. I'll call it "Warehouse". Use a map with several slots, and also easy accessible road connections (ie. not islands).

5. Once the Warehouse city has loaded first time, you must build a road connection and city hall. Then build enough road connections to give you the freight capacity you need.

To save time and money, do it like this: build a small dirt road connected with city hall and let it run parallel with the border. Pause the game (the play/pause button is located next to the red "clock" at the top center of your screen). Use the small road (no bigger is needed, highway cost too much 100k), and stack the road connections right next to eachother in pause mode. Let them connect with the dirt road running close to the border.

20-30 road connections built like this wont take much space, and will give you 400-600 freight capacity. Expand if needed.

Now, both your cities is done, no more construction is needed.

6. Open the trade panel and choose Warehouse and Thief. Transfer all of Thiefs money over to Warehouse.

Now trade between Warehouse and Omnicorp. Buy all the tokens you need, until you run out of money.

The circle is complete, and Omnicorp have now received their money back.

7. Repeat step 3 and 6 until you are satisfied.

Note: If you want Omnicorp to have money for you to trade normally with them later on, end the circle after step 6. If you want some/all of Omnicorp's money end it after step 3, and then give the money from Thief to whatever cities you want.

The reason for using the Warehouse city is because it will act like buffer where you can get the tokens as you need them. If you use one of your "serious" cities in the role of the Warehouse, you will run into problems with demand/offer within your city and companies will start going bankrupt. Trading just what you need avoids this problem. But when dealing with blueprints you'll trade more tokens then your city actually needs, and that's why you should use the Warehouse as a buffer.
