So I had already mined all of my silver before I was asked to get some… is there anything I can do to complete the forge the ring quest?

Is there any way to prevent a water shortage?
build nore wells and water towers
Hello,
Just want to ask is the game max population just 40 people?
because when i try build log cabin,or hotel when my population got 40 it won’t increase.
gate -yes 40 is the max normally. If you read earlier posts you will find out how to get population up to 44
I NEED HELP in the Give becky county a new hat.
i built a tannery but still nothing, i have changed her for several different jobs and still nothing. What do i have to do?
Cindy-Thanks 4 the help
I have a problem with the quest sink treasure i have build the well in the blue rocks circle but nothing happened
p.s : i have found the key before it
any solution?
Hi Guys have you try this? I read that on my friend guide
You can get a super bad gunslinger that takes longer to kill than a regular gunslinger. To get him, you have to first build 3 cemeteries. Then fill all 3 cemeteries with dead gunslingers. Each cemetery holds 8 graves so you will need a total of 24 dead gunslingers for this. The easiest and probably the fastest way to fill the cemeteries is to hire some gunslingers and then send them 1 by 1 to hunt a bear by themselves. The 3rd gunslinger will probably kill the bear first, but the bear will get the first 2 gunslingers. After the 24th gunslinger dies and is buried a subject with a pumpkin for a head will appear. He will be dressed in all black, riding a black horse, and carrying a scythe instead of a gun
karla-you need to build a hat shop employ someone (not Becky) and have Becky go buy a hat.
Gates-you have to drag your hero over to the well and you should get a dialog something about jumping in. I had one that I could not get my hero to jump in because I built the well before I found the key and destroyed my well that came me the message about it looks like this goes somewhere. I kept building more wells but it didn’t help.
Jenny-did you look around again see if any more silver showed up after you recieved the quest? I don’t know if any more does or not because I still had some. I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem.
hey!! i think I am somewhere still in the beginning of the game…I am here where the land is wet and everything sunkens in…..I don have much wood now..I can’t build bridges and no more wood here even can’t build lumber camp…..evertime i build a lumber camp it sunks down..wat shout i do????i have saved 3/5 lumberjacks…..Plz post me some help soon…thank u ppl….

Hi,
On the first town I can only play as far as the 5th Wanted Poster Mission and the 4th Trading Post mission and after that there are no more missions available. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to wait for later levels to be able to play more of these missions…
Any help would be greatly appreciated….
james- you get more wanted poster and trading post missions later.
priya- you don’t need to build the cabin. put the woman to work at the lumbermill the man that comes talks to you by the woman put him to work at one of the lumber camps. build a bridge to the one with the the dynomite and gold. talk the gold and dynomite. walk into the water by where the empty gold mine is and blow up the rocks and walk up on to the sandbar to the left and talk to the guy. then put him to work at the gold mine. blow up the the next set of rocks and walk up thesandbar to the right and talk to the man put him to work at the goal mine have someone build a bridge to get the woman across from the lumbermill and put her to work. walk through the water and build a bridge and rescue the woman and put her to work. build a bridge to the ledge/sandbar that has more dynomite and gold on it. pick up the dynomite and gold and walk up the hill and blow up the rocks and talk to the woman a little farther up the hill that should be all 5 lumberjacks
Kitty — #340 — didn’t stop him from possessing my people. I am SO frustrated with this one. No matter how many tents I build, eventually people get so hungry they leave town and I have nobody left. I can’t keep food production up enough to keep folks from starving or “fainting” due to hunger. Either way, I’m stuck — this is the only thing I have left to do!
how do I meet Willy?
Gates – download the latest version – v1.001 from Reflexive as i did, then u wil b able to complete the sunken treasures quest at once
queennb-this has already been answered several times go to post 497 and read it. it is on page 10
I cannot get the challenge to get 25 food. built three storage units got up to 60 food in less than 3 minutes but says try again. Is this a glitch?
I think I found a bug. I tried to build a bridge to get to the 3 bears and the side that hero needs to reach is unreachable. Bridge is now greyed out in build menu even if I build a second saw mill no help. I cant delete the bridge because it never finished building. I have completed all other quests.
dqraghic 1- no it is not a glitch. You have to click on the person and answer their question just like you do when you are “talking” to your hero or anyone else.
how do i stop the earquakes/fires
How do you mine silver and how does it look like?
I tried the info on building three cemeteries to get the tuff guy and what I got after killing 24 gun slingers was the pumpkin headed guy and now he hangs out in my town doing nothing.
lol

priya-the hidden supplies quest is to find the supplies that redd left for you. go to the river where you first saw the miner. go into the river closest to the right side of the screen and go up onto the land across the river walk over to the hill and go up on the hill and go to the tree on top of the hill and you will find the hidden supplies it should also give you some experience points.
jessica-have you wemt into the cave to save the town from the pumpkin guy? if not build a lamp/light by the cave on the right side of the screen. have your hero go over to the cave and follow the instructions. you need to read comments from earlier posts to find out how to win the pumpkin challenge.

Winery: The guy who wanted kegs for smuggling already left because I couldn’t help him at the time. Now I have 3 grape farms and no way to build wineries. Does that guy ever come back? Is there a way to trigger his coming back?
I have completed the game twice and found everything including the pumpkin horseman but I can’t seem to find out what the first secret trophy is. I have looked at all the websites I can find but couldn’t find anything. Does anyone know what the trophy is between bandit showdown and the generosity trophy?
I am STUCK! I have done all the wanted poster challenges, and the trading post challenges, and bought a bunch of stuff with my experience points… The only thing I need to do is to save 800 in the bank… but I never unlocked the bank. I need 7 more points to unlock the bank and have NO idea how to get more experience points since the wanted and trading post missions are not coming up anymore! What do I do?!!
priya- when you complete the trading post challenges you get the butter churn. build column number 3 you have to build 3 butter churns and I believe 3 ranches raising cows-go to page 5 post #243 for a complete walkthrough
pocahontas- I don’t think he will come back. don’t click on someone after the first question until you can work on what they want. if you go to page 5 and read post #243 it will get you to a complete walthrough.
jessica – go back to page 5 and read post #243
EVERYONE!!! I will tell you all again that I know it can be a pain in the ___but go back and read all of the posts starting at page 1. It is time consuming but a wealth of information. make notes if neccessary for quick reference to go back for an answer. Alot of the people who started playing ww3 when it first came out placed a wealth of information. most if not all but me have moved on to other games and are not checking this website anymore and trying to help other people get through the game. It is a great and challenging game. I have played it all the way through at least 10 times. hope this info helps some new players to the game.
Mytyab-it is the fashion hat trophy. You have to complete the game and then take people over to buy a hat until every hat has been sold at least once then you get the trophy. If you still have the last game you played you can go get this trophy. You can’t get this trophy until you fininsh the story line that is programed into the game because one of the hats that are for sell are for completing the game.
Kristin-you may not want to hear this but you may have to start over or go back to the last place you saved and try to see if you can get the bank that way. I forgot to buy the bank and had saved up until it was too late and I had to start over.
how do you finish earthquake valley. i have 20 people but i can`t get enough happiness cause earthquakes keep happening and i have to repair my building, so i don`t have enough money to build happiness things. is there anyway to get more money and wood or building something with really high happiness
I gave the guy Red flowers for his wife, now he wants a silver ring? Where and how do i get the silver ring?
hey leila
i just finish that one i had to build 2 lumber camps and make sure they never ran out of trees. I had a trade store to trade some wood for gold. Also i had 3 gold mines for extra money. You will need a lumber mill and unlock the fortication to make your building strongers. And to build happiness i just built a lot of fountains and light poles. With all the wood and cash spread people around to repair buildings and that will make them happier also a saloon will built happiness. Good luck i had to start from fresh three times. Just make sure you have the trade shop and the general store, 2 lumber camps, 3 mines and the lumber mill.
Hey guys, Im at earthqake vally and ive done all the quests but cant find out how to get the population up to 20.It wont allow me more than 15. Please help,Ive started this over 3 times. Im starting to run out of gold and wood.
leila – go to page 5 post 243
hey everyone if you go back to the start where you type in westward 3 walkthrough and click on the one directly below this link it will give you a step by step walkthrough
First I’m french, so excuse me for my english.
second I have the same problem than jessica :
I need to have 7 votes and win the election but no more quest is available.
what can I do?
Thanks for the help
Im trying to get the baron family from the bandits but vant seem to set the horses free. i have done everything else on that quest to help them but am stuck on getting to the horses. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???
linda- you have to build a sheriff’s office and hire a sheriff to get your population over 15 this is required no matter what you are doing. max pop is 40 you can get to 44 if you go back and read older posts.
gaelle-have you put a lamp post by the cave by where the railroad tracks come out of the side of mountain? that will get you the pumpkin head quest.
princess love- you need to have a blacksmith employee someone at the blacksmith and mine some silver. lt looks like gold deposits only silver. when you have enough it will tell you that you have mined enough silver.
Southernsash-the second thing you do is the water tower. You do select yourvhero and click gun and shoot the water tower until it collapses. When it does you can release the horses. Again wait for the bandits to come to the corral and kill them. then…
Then you go over to the camp fire. you have to go out and gather wood. and gather all the meat and veggies around camp. Then it will allow you to light the fire and cook the food. Now wait again for the bandits. The rest is just follow directions.
I have made two flower pots named purty of flowers. but I not got the grapes

Hello Frens!!
I was having a gr8 time palying WW3..but wats this..i now found out that i did not got the quest where we have to look for the treasure in the first town(the place where we find the scarecrow)…..I thought i wud get the quest later..i knew where the keys were by reading the posts but i never got the quest then now i am in the next town…its call A new start….n now i am collecting votes to win the election……so i can’t go back….so does that mean i wont get the trophy of treasure hunter or sth like that(sorry i cudn’t remember wat it exaclty was)????ohh wat sud i do???

and ya how to get the food king trophy?i have 3 farms growing 3 diff food n 3 ranches raising 3 diff animals but no i don have the trophy..so wat sud i do??plz help anyone!!!
they missed-you need to build 5 flowers pots and water each flower pot twice to turn the flowers purple then the lady will show up to offer to sell you grape seeds for 50 gold.
master-I think that if you go back to the main page for westward 3 and click on the one below this link it will give you a complete walkthrough I will check it out and let you know if she covers the trading post challenges
Priya-you can’t get the trophy since you didn’t build 3 farms growing carrots in the 1st town. But, After you finish the game. go back with the same player and start a new game. you will retain the trophies you have but You have to build 3 farms growing carrots and a white bunny will appear then you have your bunny go over to the rabbitt hole by the water and there is some gold to be mined by it. It is towards the upper middle of the screen. The bunny will ask if you want him to go down the hole. Click yes and he will bring the treasure chest out. also I think if you go to the link directly below this link she covers the trophies and quests and how to get the extra stuff in the general store. I will have to let you know about the boots because i just moved to the part where they left the 1st town.
everyone she does cover the trading post challenges.
if you start a second game with the same player you can fill in the trophies you are missing. also it is time consuming but a wealth of information is available in the earlier posts on this link. go back to page one and read up until now. There is a link on page 5 post 243 I believe that also gives you a walkthrough. Most if not all of the people who started posting when this game first came out are not placing any new posts as far as I can see except for me.
hie !!
sorry Cindy but i can’t see the link u posted…..
and wat about the food king trophy???
