Isn it kind of like cheating to use hydro power?
2.3.3 A: Well, first off, it’s just a game, and you can do whatever you want with it. The most efficient use of hydro would be to use the raise terrain tool to make a little bump.

A more realistic approach would be to make a map with a river, then raise the land on one end of the river, and draw the river back in, having it flow down the raised land. You could then build large dams on the slopes. 2.3.4 Q: My power plants seem to last forever. 2.3.4 A: If you have disasters off, your power plants will automatically be replaced when they are 50 years old. Their cost will also be deducted from your coffers. 2.3.
