where is the hillside to plant the trees, and how many trees do i need? i cannot figure it out thank you
emma, I’m stumped.
The drill recovery quest has 2 parts. The first one you keep the campfires going for 7 minutes. The second one is the town that you have to rebuild. (I think.)
IF you already have the drill built, then drag the drill maker to the gate. He will automatically start drilling to open the gates.
I hope that helps.
BOOTS IN STORE
Finally got them – requirements – 1 cow ranch 1 manned tannery 1 manned blacksmith.
STABILIZE THE HILLSIDE BY PLANTING TREES.
Where and how many do i need, can someone please help?
how do u forge the silver ring
I am trying to get through the maze with the skins and burnt our bridges. I can’t for the life of me find my way out. can someone please help me? I have been on this quest for about 2 days now. Its aggrivating lol…Please help!!!
June~ I used 6 dynamite sticks. While my hero was hunting, I had the dude across the river doing the TNT work.
I can’t remember exactly, but maybe if we all collaborate…
First, blow up the cave right behind the camp.
I think you go to a little enclosed section. BLow up the one on the same side.
That takes you to a huge encloser. (double check)~3 caves on that section If that is where you are, just turn around go the way you came. (I think that is where you are getting stuck.)
I can’t remember if I’m forgetting a part, or if I got it done with less TNT.
I hope it helps!
is there a trick to getting the nine hats? I’m also stumped on the master merchant trophy.
how do i get any gold on the part in the game where you are in a forest and there is a river and there is your first big group of bandits. they have a camp and stuff. there are three gunslingers who want $75 each and i can’t find any gold. when i come back from the town, my gold is depleted. I need help cuz i can’t find no money!!
hey I found that when you are fighting the bandits on the wanted posters if you fight them and collect all the wood and gold as you come upon it that before you leave the area to go back to your town that you can use their money and wood with your experience points and buy stuff from the store before you leave. also collect the first aid kits and use them before you leave. You can’t take the money, wood, or first aid kits back with you so might as well use them to your advancetage. It can help get your stuff unlocked fasted and not using your resources. Hope this helps someone. also you have to have 3 farms growing grapes and 3 wineries to get the wine to sell in the general store. If one of your wineries says sour grapes blow it up and build a new one.
hey I have been up for a long long time and I realize I spelled some things wrong in the last post.lol to get thur the maze with the pressure plates some of them both of you have to step on them to get a gate to open one step off and go thur and the other one step back on one of the pressure plates and it will open another gate if you work with them a little you will figure them out.
to stabilize the hillside I had to plant 4 or 5 plants on the hillside. I also found that you can plant them and they don’t grow. I didn’t tear down my sheriff’s offices for the wanted posters that way if one of my guys got killed it only cost me 120 to replace them instead of having to rebuilt a sheriff office to get more guy. same thing with the saloons. I also saved all of my stables I built to get the black stallion and then used them for my sheriff and deputies when I built the sheriff’s office no sense in wasting money and wood since I had already built them.
keith go back and read the earlier posts and you will find the answer to your question.
I’ve tried many times to build n rebuild the well to solve the sunken treasure quest but it still won’t work! i’ve found the key n i’ve solve all quest except this one.. anyone knows how? is it a bug?
HELP>>>I am on the rescue lumberjacks mission not the resuce 5 jacks the one after that where you have to first build the lumber mill then build a bridge. My problem is I have only 24 experience pts. and i need 25 how do I get this extra exp. point. I already built a ranch that gave me 5 more pts. But there is nothing else I can build to give me exp. pts.
Need help with tradingpost challenge.
One would think that that was an easy one, especially the first challenge, but I am completey stuck.
I have the requiered 25 food in no time at all, even get it up to 50, then after the three minutes are up it says that I wasn’t fast enough and I can start all over again????
This happens again and again and…………well, you get the picture ;-)
I already started the game from scratch a second time due to missing the white bunny+treasure in the first town (I had the same problem with the tradingpostchallenge then btw)
And now it has got me baffled again.
Is this a glitch or what????
I would be very thankfull if somebody could help me out here.
Catwoman.
grrrrrrrr:((( pls help:)) i play ago 5 hours, i dont understand
i have a key (first i get a key), then i build a well, i try jump but NOTHING
i buld i well, what is artesian well, i must build artesien vell, how can i jump into the well
pls HELP:))
What is the third thing the general store can sell? I have the boots and wine, but I’m stumped on what the third could be.
catwoman-on the trading post challenge when you get the required item they want you have to click on the ! over their head and it will ask you a question like they do for you quests and other people you talk to. If you have what they want it gives you a choice to cancel or accept. In the 2nd or 3rd challenge I started building 2 tents and used them to help gather my items. Even after I had what they wanted I would build a well or maybe a grainery in case I needed it on the next thing they wanted. use up your time until you get down to 20 seconds or less then click on the person and give them what they want. make sure you don’t take the number of what they want below what they want when you build the wells or grainery otherwise you could run out of time and have to start the challenge over.
cory- are you trying to get the people off of the little ledge so that you can get them off of there? have you built a sheriff’s office and went after the bounties on the wanted posters? or the trading post challenges? both will give you money and experience points, the trading post challenges will also give you wood. hope this helps if you have to buy the sherriff’s office or the trading post to get the points you need to unlock the lumber mill. you can do all of the trading post challenges one after the other. same with the bounty hunt but on some of them it is better to build 2 or more sherriff offices to be able to win the challenge also read what I wrote above your queston about how I used the bandits money to buy stuff out of the store that I wanted it might help you too.
alicia,
the third thing is cheese you get the cheese churn after you complete all of the trading post challenges. then you have to build 3 butter churns and either 2 or 3 cattle ranches. also again everyone if you go back to page 1 and read all of the posts up to yours you will find find most if not all of your answers to your questions and some suggestions on how to win the quest you are on. Hope this helps. This game is adictive. I have played it thur at least once and didn’t get all of my trophies so now I am working on getting all of my trophies.
Thanks to whoever posted on how to get thur the bandit challenge in the sandbox mode. I haven’t done it yet but it will surely help me and others to get that throphy. I wanted to know if anyone else has the same thing happening to them. I have my 3 wineries, (no sour grapes) 3 grape farms and I get a message that I wine is being sold in the general store and then I get a message saying wine is no longer sold in the general store but I still have all 3 farms and wineries working and employed.
Cindy- Thank you so much, how could I have been so “blonde” ;-)
Thanks again, now I can finally finish the game completely.
Catwoman.
Ok…maybe i’m wrong, but I thought to expand your population over 40 you would build another Sheriff’s office. I built one but it did not work. It allowed me to hire more deputies but not another sheriff and it did not increase my population. Any thoughts?
hey I also found that when I am on quests after I recieve my experience points on some you can shop and use the money and wood from that quest to pay for stuff and save your money and wood from your town. Since you can’t take it back with you might as well get some use out of it.
FIRST OFF : Thanx to Cate for your info about not having to save the farm – what a load off my mind – can’t tell you how many ideas I tried – yeah! Thanx so much
Okay now that I have been helped here is some help for Jennifer #349 about planting trees:
You need to purchase and MAN the general store. You need to purchase trees under the “upgrade” section. Allow the person to work awhile and the trees then can be purchased from the store for 80 gold pieces. click on a worker (anyone is fine)
and you will see an area by the dynimite area where it will show how many trees you have purchased. click on the tree area. A big green or red are will appear so be sure your man is by the lumber chopping area (not the mill) when the area is green click again and the man will go to the area and plant & water area. Trees will start to grow. This is a GOOD thing cuz when all the gold is gone you can cont to grow and harvest trees to sell at the trading post for more gold.
Now Hany #364 once you have built your well inside the 5 blue rocks you need to
DRAG the hero to the well – not just stand there waiting for something to happen.
Once you DRAG your hero to that well a caption will appear and he/she will fall down the well.
Hope this is helpful sj 1/13/09
Hey I’m a little stuck. I have one task available to me (deposit $800 in bank) but I don’t have enough experience points to build it. I’ve completed all the other tasks up to this point. It says that I have more Sheriff’s challenges to do but they aren’t available to me just yet. I have enough experience points to buy a tannery or a trading post but I haven’t because I didn’t know if that would open up any new opportunities for experience points. I need 6 more points but can’t seem to figure out how to get them. Can anyone help? :) Thanks!
Population over 40 is possible:
Town 2 – I don’t send Redd off or complete the professional challenge until town is fully populated with 40 and briming with money and timber and food and i have enough housing for 44 people (I use hotels for all housing).
Once I have enough housing for 44 I activate the professional challenge and gain person 41.
Then I send Redd off – activating the smuggling challenge (now easy to win) and very rapidly Redd comes back. When Redd’s family saved via side quest they appear in town and Redd becomes person 42 and Mom person 43 and Jake (Dad) person 44.
Savana u get gold by sellin 20 wood at trading post and if u cant use trading post then kill the trading post bandit the click on the trading post and sell wood and buy the gun slingers if they die they come with u in the next part.
Stacey to get more experince make a genreal store and demolish it and u get experince i did that on a axident and u could do that to get more experince.
I need help finding more websites to download demos unless i buy it so please tell me besides yahoo games play first and the other game that gives u a nintey minute one.
alex- check out bigfish.com. its how i got this game. they only offer a 60 minute trial though before you have to buy it. but you can get games for as little as $6.99 a game. man they should pay me for this advertising or atleast a free game or two!!
todd…just me or same questions?
I bought the first one, as I’d never played it…I like 2 and 3 better…they worked out more kinks! lol :) There are different aspects about all three that I like. :)
stacy- build a trading post if you don’t have one and do the trading post challenges to get more points so you can buy the bank, sell food and wood also buy food and wood also allows you to build tannery so that you can get hides to sell as well as food when you kill animals. also read some of the other posts I posted on the 13th to help getting store items without using your resources from your town. You can’t use the extra resources on the trading post challenges to buy stuff from the store because after you finish the last task you don’t have time and trying to buy them eariler could cause you to have to start the task over again because each person you help has a different type of request and I also think a different number of things they want you to do. I have finished my trading post challenges and I don’t remember exactly how many tasks each person wants.
todd and alex- iwin now has 3 different plans to buy games like big fish. one for 12 games at $6.99 in a year; one for I think $7.99 for 6 games in 6 months or $9,99 with a commitment of I think 2 games but I can’t get it to tell me since I have upgraded to the $6.99 package. If you buy more than one game a month it counts toward your committment you can activate each game 3 times on different computers with each game license. I have belonged to Iwin for over a year and I like them. Also you can buy games from gamehouse.com with no commitment but you will pay full price for the first game if you buy the backup disc it will give you a discount code for your next game. Real arcade also has a game plan. I bought some games on gamehouse that were Mac compatiable and was also able to download them on my pc. I bought them for my sister who has a Mac. Also MSN games has games you can buy without having to make a commitment of any kind. Hope this helps.
I have no gold. Where is that gold mine which we have to find? Pls HELP
Sakshi-where are you in the game? Do you have a trading post? If you do you can sell wood and food to get gold. If you have a tannery you can get gold when you kill animals.
On the Earthquake quest I am stuck I complete the quest and Pilton comes to town but doesn’t do anythng…And the game just keeps going….what is going on????
On the first board, my gunslingers quest disappears off the sheriffs office after i have done 5 quests, solving those 5. There is a whole lot more quests that shows are undone on the list.
I have restarted a few times, trying to see if that helped, got the 2nd sheriffs place, the stables and still nothing works.
I was wondering if i am doing something wrong, or does the same list of requests continue on in the next town level
I am in hauted town and I have found out how to play this part of the game but MR. Pumkin Head takes all my people befroe i can even get started. Any suggestions?????? [email protected]
In regards to the stables, I can only get one horse in each one, has anyone gotten 2?
Im in the quest to save the mechanic. I have the gate open but i dont know where the mechanic went. Any help would be great !!!!
neenerwoman- yeah you are right … same questions different day. i guess ppl do want to read now adays. i have all 3 ww games and beat them all. they all do have different things that make them fun. i will look forward to the next one.
cindy-i never heard of iwin. i will have to check that out. i like bigfish but one thing i didnt realise when i joined then was when i got the $6.99 deal and had to buy 12 more games in the next year , that they charge you each month for 6.99. i bought like 6 more credits right off the bat and it didnt count towards the 12.i have been a subscriber for over 2 years now and i still get one game a month for 6.99. alot cheaper then $20 at the store per game. i bought more then what i needed to since then. what i like also about bigfish.com is they have alot of online games to play and community games also. i played alot of the comm. games. farm 51 and big fish slots are fun
thanks for the info though
todd-Iwin also has online games and they are setting up a new Iwin hotel where you get opals for playing your Iwin games. Iwin hotel gives you a arbartron (sp) to dress and stuff. I did it when they had came out with it originally. Didn’t know awhole lot about it but now they are redoing it. Check it out I think you will like it.
hey does anyone know how to get the game to aknowledge when you have a requirement for a trophy? I have all nine hats and it still won’t aknowledge this fact. I have blown up my hat store and rebuilt it and it still didn’t help.
answered my ouwn question about the hat trophy. You have to sell at least one of each hat before you get the trophy.
I am in the 1st town and there is a quest to “Reasearch a gold mine”..where is that gold mine? I have no gold to build a trading post or tannery and there is no gold on the land to pick up , I have already picked up all the gold from the ground. Pls Help..Where is that gold mine?
Does anyone have a list of the quests in the first town? I’m sure I have the one missing as there seems to be a space for it on the screen! (on the second column at the end)
thanks
walk your person to one of the gold mounds sticking out of a hill. it is not a door. good luck
Sakshi-if you blew up the rocks going up the little encline to the land directly across the river from the the 2 panning sites you will see gold sticking out of the side of the hill and that is where you build a gold mine. have you built any panning mines in the river? if you don’t have any gold at all you may have to restart the level you are playing. did you have any gold the last time you saved your game? If so load that game and build the panning mines and have people work them if you haven’t already run into mcallister. Do you still have your dynomite you get from the guy or has he showed up yet? I have had to start the settlement over again because I ran out of gold, not enough points to buy the bank so I could save the $800.00. I think everyone one playing has had to start over at least once. If you do it is worth it. This game is really addictive.
is there a treasure in the ifrst town and if so how do u get it? i got tired of reading post after post. and is there anything else helpful or secret for the first town? i can help with second town (i started over).
pumpkin head quest….i built cabin or tent after tent until i got enuf ppl to help me fight bandit camps (3 total). after all bndits are dead then u must build a church then build cemetarieds where the bandit camps were.
