Post 3 guns at the top of the town where bandits keep coming from to stop them from getting close to the wood shack. Put the rest at the bottom where the other bandits come in. Later post at least 1 at the gold mine. A Meanwhile use the citizens to do the repairs and add a couple of citizens as well to make sure food is produced at top rates. A Use the hero to gather resources laying around such as wood and gold. White Rabbit for Micah: ----------------------- You have to change all your farms to carrot and then bunny should appear in this area. Black Horse: ------------ The black horse appears randomly in a stable. If you want you can save the game before you build a stable. Then build a stable and if one does not appear, just go back to your previously saved game. Keep doing this until you get the black horse. Hint: ----- Submitted by: ZENA When playing the mini challenges through the sheriff's office, build a second or third sheriff's office and hire loads of deputies to defeat the two bandit camps. Use your hero first to run through the whole area picking up first aid boxes, dynamite and gun upgrades, make sure everyone is upgraded before going after bandit camps and go directly to camps don't stop to fight every group or you will lose some fighters unnecessarily. Perfect gift: ------------- Perfect gift is 1st build a flower pot and click pot to have the red flower. 2nd mining silver to have a silver ring. 3rd build farm click carrot to catch the white rabbit. 4th build the stables to have a black horse. Easter Eggs: ------------ To unlock the Easter Eggs, build two ranches w/chickens. You'll then get the Easter Egg task. Sandbox: -------- If you are a Sandbox player like me, then you might benefit from this: Set up the lumber camp as soon as you start; then set up the general store to buy tree seeds and set up the trading post to sell wood. Then just buy tree seeds to grow more wood periodically and keep selling wood. It might sound like the dumb business to you: "Sell wood to buy more wood" - yet you can buy more than you sell. Soon you'll have enough finances to expand your town. Hidden Key: ----------- For the white rabbit and the easter egg hunt you need to turn all your farms, for the rabbit all farms into carrot once and than it will come out of one of the barn doors, for the easter hunt all farms into chicken farms. To open the gate in the top left corner, chop down the big tree, than you find a map which tells you about a hidden key, you find that in the cave entrance in the river bottom left, than go to the stone circle, about middle of map right side and build a well, jump into it, you will come out in the little waterhole with the old house in. Hint: ----- Submitted by: jill If you have unlocked the wine shop you will be unable to build it until to are able to grow grapes at your farm. To unlock the grapes you will need to have planters of flowers, I believe 2 or 3 of them. You have a person go to a planter, when you do this, the color of the flowers change, continue this until all planters grow purple flowers, this unlocks the ability to grow grapes at your farm. Once you grow grapes, you are then able to build the wine shop. Many recourses: --------------- Submitted by: lance First you have to build a general store and a train station at the platform and then hire a civilian and click the gold and accept you can not accept if you don't have 200 gold and 200 wood.after you finish the quest you will have 500 gold.but each train that comes will give 42 gold and if you have no more trees left. you many gold so you can buy some seeds at the general .store to make some trees you can buy some seeds because you have many gold given by the train so you have many recourses but not the water and food. Getting through Earthquake town: -------------------------------- Submitted by: Cindy L. Green Two good peices of advice is one make sure you build 3 or so hotels instead of so many cabins. Less repair to do, it adds to town happiness faster. Also if you are having trouble keeping enough population that 15-20 range build a sheriffs office and you suddenly can build population quickly. Pumpkin rider: -------------- Submitted b y: Kal Kally Email: serials3x@yahoo.com Build three cemetery. After a gunslinger died, a grave would appear in the cemetery. A cemetery can hold eight graves. Fill all three cemeteries with 24 gunslinger graves and a headless rider will appear with a pumpkin head. The rider is stronger than average gunslinger and you can control him. To kill a gunslinger, just send he/she to fight a bear or a group of bandit alone. Earthquake Town: ---------------- Submitted by: Laurimo Before playing the "Earthquake" town, make sure that you upgrade with the "Fortification" before you go in. Your buildings will be much stronger, last longer, and cost less to repair. Additionally, make sure that you have WATER WELLS very close to ALL of your structures. The fires will go out quicker. Concentrate on building TWO Lumber Camps, TWO Mills, a Trading Post (to exchange wood for gold), and a General Store (to build more trees),so you can gain resources more quickly. In order to have more than 15 citizens, you will need to hire a Sheriff, but wait until you really have your town up and going first. Trading post challenge reward: ------------------------------ Submitted by: sophrenia Finishing till level 8 will give you the hidden building butter churn (tips) At the final stages don't bother building a farm or ranch.It's a waste of resource and time. Hunt the rabbits for food and keep the fishes and berries for quick food gathering quest. Also it's better to build tents instead of log cabin. Not only is it cheaper, but it takes less time to build overall.
