I've created an excel sheet to assist with making your purchases in the most beneficial way possible: http://jmp.sh/u3jF2xd
1) Enter info into the grey fields (#business purchased, # of angels, upgrades purchased)
2) Excel sheet will tell you which business to purchase next and when its time for each upgrade
3) It does not account for some features (kongregate purchased multipliers & upgrades purchased with Angels) but, I think that it will be very helpful anyways
4) Let me know if you find any bugs so I can fix
*Please bump to top so everyone may use it*
Props to Radius1214 for some GOOD advice on getting the 'hard badge':
1082 feet - here's how I did it: Day 1 - Start with full fuel, the $500 wheels, $3000 transmition, $150 engine, and buy the boost. Tilt your car back when you're running over the zombies to maintain a bit of speed. When you get to the part where there's a gap you jump that you'll usually lose speed, hit your boost. I generally get around $7500 the first day. Day 2 - Buy the big engine and the gun. Spend as much money as you can upgrading the gun. If you have any extra, buy another level of boost. On my best try, I ran into the boxes on day 2. You should get anywhere between 11 and 15k on the second day. Remember to tilt your car back slightly when running over zombies. Day 3 - Upgrade your boost to full. Upgrade your gun with whatever remains. Don't use any boost until you get to the last hill, and then use it all. You should fly way up in the air and sail into the top of the boxes and through them. Good luck!
It took 269 days, but, I beat the game in 4 different ways:
1. Win Bucaneer Missions
2. Win Enforcer Missions
3. Collect $1 000 000
4. Capture all of the cities
