Well, this is a good start. I am on level 35 right now with 175,190 population. Been playing for about a month? Let me spill some beans so there'll be more discussion.
- Crystal is correct. Remodelling businesses for the coin bonus that a wonder gives is a great idea. I have a problem however. After getting the 'Stock Exchange', none of my offices is getting any coin bonus. The Megamall did give me the 10% on Retail businesses however.
- The cost of getting a business is some-what inversely proportional to the distance the game think it is to the real life location of the business.
- There are 2 primary types of ways to acquire a business. You can buy it by going to 'Store' > 'Businesses' and then search. Or you can franchise it through a friend or a player near-by to where the game think it is at.
- You can see the popularity of the business both before you buy, or before you franchise
- Check out the price difference of the same business, with the phone/game being at the same location, between buying it, and franchising it.
- The business that gives me the most coins (popularity around 2800), surprisingly, is not the business that has the highest popularity (popularity just over 5000). Not sure why this is the case for now unless Booyah publishes their coin calculation formula.
- Last but not least, you can disable Location Services to MyTown (in the iPhone's Settings) and manually select a location. You can only do this once however. After you did a manual selection Mytown will remember it. From that point on you can either use your 'real' location by turning Location Services ON, or you can use the previously manually selected location by turning Location Services OFF.
There are some 1000 people in Game Center ranked higher than me in numerous categories for the game, yet I haven't seen anyone with a higher level than me posting on any threads I have came across on the game. Com'on people, we should help each other out on this game!!!
I am located in an suburb 40 minutes drive from Vancouver, B.C, Canada. BooyahID 29678170. Feel free to check-out my town or to franchise my businesses!
