Big Business - game discussion

Has anyone purchased or bought every game square, as I have a hunch that is No Excesses achievement, tried making sure no blank tiles in city and that wasn't it!
 
I am currently trying to upgrade. Have managed to upgrade 2 basketball courts (2 marble each). But slow going having to produce the marble. Sold 10 in one go to see if that was the achievement (that and was fed up of a full warehouse).
 
Page 23 has the most up to date list of solved achievements. The uniter of nations requires 3 flags- the list on page 23 says only 1 but I recently completed this achievement and it is 3 flags.
 
Okay, ironically, I just checked my inventory and noticed that all the rubies I was saving to buy another aquarium were gone. Granted, it is not as maddening as losing credits, but still... Submitted a ticket, let's see what happens next. I told them I want my rubies back.

In unrelated news, trying to collect books... I have 10 bookstores and not a single book yet. When I was collecting newspapers, I was literally drowning in them. Five news stands were spitting out 2-3. I ended up with 80 instead of 27.

Also, I was trying to figure out the Fever Got Me achievement. Obviously, it is about "gold fever" because you can see gold prospecting equipment - a pan with glittering sand and a pick. So far, I can say that it is NOT 15 sand or 15 diamond chip, I checked out both. Is there any $$ industrial building that can produce gold? I don't have a processing plant or whatever it is called, although I thought it was making gems out of crystals, not gold. Anyway, I am pretty sure this achievement is about mining gold or something.

About Home Sweet Home... Anyone tried to demolish ALL houses, and THEN building one? Or perhaps your only house must be a villa.

Tried demolishing all houses and then building one. No joy.

There was a special purchase building that produced gold but I didn't have enough bucks to purchase one.
Speaking of bucks I just expanded land using 50 bucks by mistake. Doh!!!!

One of the tasks for the Eiffel Tower was rubies. If you had enough then you wouldn't see the task. Not sure what level that was tho!

That's true- I bet it was the Eiffel tower task. I thought it was weird because the task didn't list that rubies were needed. If I recall it was one that required workers and something else. I was confused too until I remembered in the description rubies were mentioned
 
Nope !! The first time ( first few days of playing the game) I attributed it to some mistake on my part, thought still haven't figured out what. This time everything remins the same, I am not buying as reducing pop to zero and for all new factories I need to add to my pp. So that's a no go, 20 $ too less for a flag and because I don't use real money to play, I am very carefull what I spend the $ on.

I wonder if anybody else has faced the same in the past or recently.

It's so frustrating. Having said that love the game. Am tempted to write to Gi to make some interesting changes like hiring out to friends plants in storage or vehicles not in use etc. etc. but from what I
understand from the forum, cs at GI leaves a lot to be desired.

Shame

Hi sky, I have lost many credits especially on the terrible energy tasks. I am betting that you might be doing is what I call "fast finger" and are hitting a action that requires credit. Some ask to verify and some do not. I would like to see GI have a verify box prior to All credit redemptions.

Here, here. I vote for a verify box too

Aww... I don't remember anything like that but if you guys say so...

Are you sure, there are silver medals (from contests) as well as Gold and Silver keys left and I haven't seen any ruby requirement. Nearly there! :-)
 
Omg x 3 drivers not just 1 ...!! At over 5 hrs to train each other them .. *yawn*


Hey Kel, that's easy. The tower quest you here people talk about, I'm preparing for the next step that requires 15 engineers. Thats 10 hrs an engineer at 60,000 each.
 
Here is a tip, I think, but you know how you visit friends and get two opportunities to tap a helping spot. Right you always get two?

Sometimes, I struggle with one or both. They are sometimes hidden. I find you have to search the wind towers, but also the terminal or quarry. Those are sneaky, the terminal or quarry may have it but you can't see it. So when ever I can't find the two spots I always tap the terminal and the quarry. I usually will find the last one there. Hope that helps
