Hi, I need some help with Caesar IV. I started a single map scenario (desert map) and built an industrial city (importing raw materials and selling manufactured ones).
But at some point the fire started burning the entire city and even with many prefectures I couldn't control the fire. That was insane and a waste of time!
I think I did nothing wrong, as the entire city was well protected by prefectures... What do you think? Nothing to do about it without "tricks"?
(It was the first time I built a big industrial city, so I thought it could be the fire's reason, the many factories).

I never used cheats so I cant comment on that. First I try not to get in this situation, if already in this situation then I run at lowest speed, ensure highest priority to prefects, and put min two prefects every possible corners n gaps inside and around fire region. I watch carefully for fire to reduce if still not reducing I put more prefects near that building. once fire is off remove extra prefects. this always worked for me with one or two building burnt

I've never been able to get the fire cheat to actually work. I'm not even sure if the no demands cheat works for me,
now that I think about it.
It would be nice if the game would reply to a
valid cheat code, to let you know that it accepted it.
If you're on a slower-performing PC, then dropping down
extra prefects may only make the matter worse,
as the prefect's "intelligence" is based on a pool of
available CPU clocks that they all share.
The more prefects you have, the dumber they get.
Limiting the amount of stuff you have running
in the background supposedly helps, so I don't recommend
streaming music, ripping videos, etc., while you're playing.
I've found that efficient planning and placement works best.
If I place a trio (prefect/engineer/well) on the map,
I get good coverage for 35-45 tiles in either direction.
For reference, that's about 4-5 factories or warehouses
on either side.
Hope this helps. . .
