I will admit that I came back to these forums to collect and give my family code(mostly just read the Macbook Pro forums), but it seems every thread HAS to be about codes. I have been trying to find some strategist threads all morning and I yet to come up with ONE.
So here are a few tips I have came across......
- Deposit any money you get right away. If you are attacked and have lots of money in the open, all of it will be gone in a matter of attacks. Hide it right away, however, if you need to spend it, do so before you put it in the bank to save money.
- Do jobs that give the best "Experience/Energy" ratio. After level 15 do the "Take Cop for Ransom". Not only do you get 2 extra experience points per job(7 to 9), but it gives ALOT of money.
- Fights have given me the best experience so far. For every stamina point, you get 2 points. So, for example, most jobs give the same "experience/energy ratio"(5 for 5, 7 for 7, ect.) Even jobs like "Take Cop for Ransom" gives only 7 for 9. Now look at fights. They double every time. So the about of time it takes to save up 7 energy(35mins), you can have 5 more experience points( 2*7=14 points) Pretty quick way to level up.
- When you do fight it isn't just about who has the bigger family. I'm a level 17 capitalist with a family of 350. I thought for a long time that if I fought people with smaller families I would win every time. NOT THE CASE. Defense is where it is at. Attack means nothing. Keep that defense up.
- Keep low on health. It might sound crazy(And I would take this one with a grain of salt, BUT it has worked well for me. ). When you are away form the game you make money right? Well if you are supposed to put your money in the bank ASAP, how do you protect it when you are away? What I've been doing is using all of my Stamina points, before I leave the game alone for awhile. What this does is gets your health down low enough that when some one attacks you, that can't because the game doesn't let them. You lose no money!
