Its a fun little flash animation, but I’m curious, how would you guys go about building the most efficient town in this game? I’ve only been able to get up to a 29/60
Tried it once, got 29/60. Can’t say I really get it after one go around.
Second time, 34/60. Basically, it looks like there’s a “right” order to building it up. That you should prospect before building a mine, so that you get more benefit from the mine. Survey before building any stuff so that it’s built in the “optimum” location. Blah, this game’s about trying to guess the creator’s intent of what benefits from what, and some of it’s pretty hogwash (like I think I saw that the Army base benefits from Tourism. Why?)
Argh. It’s just like the Grow games. I dislike this kind of thing because there’s often no way to tell in advance what will happen. It’s just a weird list of dependencies.
Would this be an appropriate moment to point out that Ebaumsworld.com sucks? I do believe that the original is on Newgrounds. There’s a solution in the reviews.
