DouDouDou: As for the traveling caravan: You get the caravans of a max of 30 per day. The caravans will pop up back to back until you are caught up for the day. Once you're caught up, they will not reappear again until the server time rolls over to a new day and the next 30 caravans for the day will appear for you. If you go into your personal settings and look at logs, it will tell you how many caravans you've clicked on for the day, what time, and what the coords were for that particular caravan. Count them up, and you'll see it's 30 each time. Your max level for caravans is lvl 7. As you go higher in lvls, the caravans get better (govs, 750K silver, 800 knights, etc).
DouDouDou: The treasuries can go very high...I've had mine go over 3 million. After some time in the game, 150K is chump change, and even further down the line, silver becomes next to useless except for recruiting troops for offense and defense. If you get a 150K reward, hold onto it and work on LEVELING UP YOUR TREASURY so that you can use it. That is 2 chests right there.
The "What's New" nag is annoying. When I click "LATER" it doesn't mean I want to wait 2 minutes just to be nagged again. Sometimes, I just want to QUICKLY do my runs and leave; especially if I'm lucking out for 3 minutes with stable internet. LOL! Please, fix the nag to only pop up once every 30 minutes.
HamiltonDaHammer: in some realms, you can hire more researchers in exchange for servants. In other realms, you only get one research slot. It just depends on the realm you hopped into. Usually, the realms have descriptions of these things before signing up, though. Like realm 105 is only 1 research slot, whereas realm 97 has 5 research slots that I bought for 1 servant each during a sale.
Thanks for all your suggestions and your compliments :) I've copied them into a notepad file that I'll be going over in the next few days to see what kinds of things would improve the game. I'm glad you enjoyed it even if you found a few things that weren't to your liking :)
4) Possible Upgrades: Fertilizers to help grow faster temporarily or to increase the volume yielded from harvesting. Purchase new music, purchase new voices, purchase new rare seeds that take a long time to grow but produce copious amounts of money. Turn ponds into wells with higher water yields.
5) Random drops from harvests, like 2x speeds, 2x harvests, 2x money. (Kreds can be used to buy these too if drop rate is too low). Maybe even make NEW tiles that are dug up (rocks) yield a rare treasure chest ones in a while, filled with random things like seeds, money, power ups, etc).
Suggestions so far....
1) A way to delete animals from tiles. If you find they don't yield enough of what you need, then it would be beneficial to be able to delete them from the tiles.
2) Show a diagram, perhaps, of what leads to what. Ex: Cow needs water+clover. It gives you a chance to plan your moves rather than (dang...I sold that and have to start over in harvesting? I imagine this can get frustrating as you advance).
3) Badge for easy: earn 50,000 in money.
....suggestions to be continued....
Nope. Just not gonna happen. Not even easy is a possibility for me. Not on this laptop with tiny arrow keys. LOL! And I can kiss the badge for "Best of 2007" goodbye too at this rate. I tried on the easiest setting, with the easiest song...and I still just suck way too much to get past "Cool". I'll leave this one for the texting millennial pros. My thumbs and fingers get far too tangled on this game.
Took me FOREVER to figure out that the red key was NOT going to open the red bricks no matter how many times I rammed my robot head into it. Only about 45 minutes in did I finally find the rocket that blasts red bricks. *d'oh*!!
Ok, I had to close Chrome because this game kept freezing up my whole browser. I opened this under FireFox, and even though Shockwave said this was running very slow and I may need to stop the script, it let me play long enough to get through this quest and get the badge. I only had to start over about 10 times. LOL! But I finally got it. Cute game, but looks like it needs some serious updating.
Adobe just yelled at me that this script is causing the system to slow down and become unresponsive. What gives? It's the last badge I need for beginner quest. Please fix. :)
