It took time, and money yes, but I finally got my city back to over 7 million in the capital and another 5 million in 2 regions.

The freebies helped and of course since I had a lot of omega BEFORE the rollout I got lots of free Omega buildings.

It can be done here are my suggestions

  1. Sell all small/medium freebies, only use large - except Control Net, those small ones are perfect to fill in gaps.
  2. Work only the capital initially. Since regions no longer contribute to tax getting the capital sorted restores your tax income.
  3. Maxis if you can, they are unlimited capacity otherwise upgrade large services 2.0 buildings
  4. If you don’t have omega residences, then get them. A level 1 residence costs 1 omega item to build but provides 100 coins / 24 hrs. I have 80 level 6 providing me 16,000 per day. It takes time but omega is best especially for water, sewerage and waste.
  5. Regions since region population no longer counts for tax - delete houses. If you have fire, police and health services covering an area only have demand (houses) to meet the capacity. Upgrade services if you can but it’s easier to delete houses. 
  6. Fill the rest of the space to make the region pretty

There's no denying that it can be done but even with the freebies, the time it takes and general costs overall, why have we got to pay the price?

Nobody wanted Services 2 and it has killed the game for many longer term players. The noobs will just accept it as part of the game because they don't know any better and will buy growth packs and any other bait on offer to get them well and truly hooked for a few months until they realise how much they are paying out for a game and bow out.

EA just want new players to send them as much money as possible and to hell with the rest of us! That's the bottom line.

    I agree with you 100%. We the long term players were well and truly shafted by an update that had 100’s of posts telling EA it was **** from the pilot rollout. They ignored those posts that’s an undeniable fact, it’s possible but not able to be proven that they didn’t even read the posts. The list of bad changes recently goes on and on

    1. Weekly limits on how far we progress on the main track.
    2. Seasonal currency
    3. Shorter Seasons
    4. Services 2.0
    5. Offset Main track season from Design Challenge season.

     

    As to how far they are willing to ruin this game we shall see when EA is sold later this year.
