I love how for the town, getting detonated does destroy it, but having a massive ore truck bigger than most of the buildings drive over them does no damage whatsoever.

trees should top gold from flying past them, i mean if your truck cant drive past them then why cant they stop a hunk of gold the size of your truck

Tip: After buying the Surveyor's Office, you can go to Build Town and scroll around the area to find the new spot and move the HQ accordingly.

Growth Spurt should be a hard badge... Not so much because it's hard to do, but because this game is so painful it's hard to finish....

Someone out there was probably really disappointed when they moved into my town with the promise of daily golden showers, and only saw actual raining gold

Kind of just wish the two parts of the game were separate. I want to mine but the building gets in the way, and sometimes my mining gets in the way of my expanding town. Also, the town building is very poorly done. There should be a mini-map, area of effect grids and other similar features. Would make it so much easier.

please let the "bad" signs on the place... and speed up in longer game the detonations... how about a auto-collect upgrade ?

My town makes so much money i can actually mine until the gold BOOM without selling the gold i had previously mined which means i get SHED loads of money!
Wish i could do this i real life, damn!

On a side note. I am the best city planner ever! Everything is based around the tavern! Where you can wallow in your misery and drink away your depression. Right next to the tavern is the casino! Because drunkards should always gamble! But just in case that losing all your money while drunk isn't quite depressing enoguh, just one door down is the undertakers, just to rub it in as to why you might be drinking in the first place. Conveniently placed across the street is the gun store, which has a prime location, sandwiched between the school and the jewellery store!
Of course the logical path is to go from the funeral home to the tavern, to the casino, to the funeral home, to the gun store, the jewlery store, and finally, the school!

I give up... I can't find the holy grail. No wonder Kind Arthur had a problem with it. It's pretty much impossible for me to run out of money, I make it faster than I can spend it. I make over 75000 a day, which is what I spend on nukes (Not counting ore... I only sell my ore when that special thing pops up). My map is one large city, and I'm almost certain that all of the shops and public services cover every square. Now, while I have no problem nuking my city... I'm fairly certain I've blown up every square... maybe ive just missed it?

2500 people badge should be hard, because it takes way too long for your typical medium and it's not very enjoyable either. I gave the game 3/5 just because it has some potential, I like the art style, that cute truck, the idea - it's all nice, I still spent the time to play it, but in reality it lacks any depth and becomes a mind-numbing chore very quickly.

I'd love to see a sequel to this game with improvements to explosives and vehicle. I kept expecting to see an area affect from the larger munitions, particularly the plastique and nukes. And an improved ore magnet, and/or a 'cherry picker' crane on the vehicle would improve ore collection/lessen frustration over 'lost' ores. Great game regardless. 5/5 :)

When able to, just use bombs in the collection zones. You'll get less great stuff but if you use big bombs you can more than make up for it with 20+ tons per round.

I just nuked a circus.
They must have been smuglers. I bet the Genies Lamp and the 4 Diamonds were hidden in the elephant. But i was clever, got them! Muhahahaha

a tour of the town. over there is the tavern to get drunk at and over there is the church you go to the very next day, oh and over there is the mayor of the town placing more nukes into the ground. the only explanation he gave me as to why he does this is. "umm err I accidently buried my favorite crack pipe somewhere and I'm just trying to find it".

My truck wont move too in my first try. I then simply restarted the game and it worked well. Dont know what it is, but restarting the game seems to help. For the game, its really addicting first, but once you max out all the upgrades it gets a little boring. 4/5

Once you get a lot of income, you can just buy dozens of population and growth buildings, making it much easier to get population. I ended with getting about 100 people per day just by placing town halls and churches.

dinamite and explosives that blow LARGE holes in the face of the Earth, and leave perfectly cutted gems and preserved magic relics... still havnt found the holy grail, maybe the nuke turned it into holy ashes. great game btw, 5/5.
