You are responsible for providing electricity to the 5,000 inhabitants of Siemens Island. You have to supply enough electricity to power all the services over a 24 hour period, to do so economically and without damaging the environment.
To do this well, you will need to explore the landscape, learn about different ways of producing electricity and their advantages and disadvantages, and make decisions about an effective overall plan.
If you devise a successful plan for the generation of energy you’ll get a high score and praise from the islanders. If you blow the budget, trash the landscape or let the lights go out they won’t be pleased!

Scoring doesn't make sense
Sventown
The amount of energy generated from one type of power source doesnt matter if you have one or 15. The energy generated doesn't change. First try using only renewables I got a score of 49%. I doubled the renewables and my score went down to 23% and had a massive power shortage. I had 12 tidal, 15 wind, 20 solar, 1 hydro, and 3 bio-mass and my score is back to 49% and the city still ran out of power. Try it again with 1 tidal, 1 wind, 1 solar, 1 hydro, 1 bio-mass, and 1 gas and my score is 66%, with power to spare. This needs to show numbers at least. Say the city needs 100 GWh a day and note how much energy each power source adds. For an added challenge make it time of day specific since the grid doesn't store energy. The gas turbine plant will be needed but the goal will be to minimize it's use as much as possible.
Horrible Controls
Gaming Dynasty
This game is a good game and all, but the controls are messed up. Double tapping on a building to build it reverses it, and disables previous sources built. The single t at delete does not work.
