Im now drowning in coconuts, but im not selling them as they are good money makers when turned into coconut flakes...

Well I guess that convinces me. I'll start to work my population down now rather than wait until some later date. I have 77,000 so off we go

I understand that you need to get 3 national flags to get the achievement.

With the Eiffel Tower, I'm 1 rubber duck from next step...

I don't mind slow progress as long as it is progress :-)

Hello fellow Big Business Gamers!! I only started playing this game about a month ago and have a lot to learn! This forum has been extremely helpful with the secret awards and all the other tips and tricks I've read to far. I'm very happy I found you guys!

Does anyone have any advice for a new player? Suggestions on what achievements to shoot for first? What buildings are really helpful in the beginning and what can wait until later in the game?

I'm guessing the leave me alone award is better to do early on in the game? I only have 2760 people in my town... But how exactly do I go about getting it down to zero? I sent out a taxi, but that only holds a few people.

Thanks so much for your help! Any advice for a newbie would be great!

I am try the leave me alone quest from 88k. Got down to 85k and got sent back to 88k!! When I returned to the game, it opened only to have all my housing people collected. Arg!#%^¥
