Hello all,
Just wanted to say a quick hello and thanks those of you who already accepted friendship requests in the past week or so. Am fairly new to the game – discovered it just as the Valentine's Day stuff was coming to an end – so am nowhere near as far along as most of you; am still desperately saving for my next big factory (furniture factory), and the recent update came as quite a shock as I thought I was getting along pretty nicely
.
How's it going with those of you who are now expanding into the new territories? Does the cost of these keep going up exponentially? I dread to think what the price will be by the time it comes to buying the final square patches! Also, does the amount of population required to build a new facility drop if you destroy existing facilities? Or doesn't it make the slightest bit of difference. Those requirements are going up in leaps and bounds now, I need to have something like 56,000 people or something before I can purchase my next factory; it's been useful to destroy decorations or smaller entertainment/housing facilities in order to keep the electricity and admin building requirements down, so I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the population requirement to a more manageable amount as well?
And did anyone make it to the other side of that cordoned off area to the east, yet? (The place with all the barbed wire?).
Well, it'll be a while before I'm ready to take on the bridge or port tasks, I think (only on level 28 or something so far - and mightily impressed with myself that I actually managed to complete the Bronze Bull special event this week); but great to share hints, tips and moral support somewhere (and curse about the continued demands for real cash that this game often seems to require if you want to progress anywhere!

Holy macaroni, I need even more hammers than I thought. I was collecting them to upgrade my night cafe, the last premium building I need to upgrade.
To upgrade 3 tennis courts you need 72 trowels (I have only 60), 48 hammers (I have only 28), 9 granite and 6 limestone.
How do you collect suitcases? From people or from buildings?

They drop from any building you collect coins from. And very slowly I might add.

Welcome Steve. Yes land costs grow exponentially along with time to complete. The game is very addictive with many, many things to do. So plan out your strategy and try not to try too many things at once, it will only get you knotted up. It's a very addictive game and IMO one of the best ones out there....enjoy.

Welcome, sent a trowel back. Now I've got drills but cannot send them "today" which is a rather ambiguous term in the BB universe. Boy, do I hate their gift system.
@Rickmondo
Hey, I have Rickville among my friends in Megapolis. Is that you?
