General How do you fly/build?

[Wasted Eagle]

Hi fellow flyers

We all play the same game. We all play it differently...
I always liked playing Sim City. I guess my fondness of building roads has it's origin. I like my site to be mid-sized with room for everything. Practical for the neighbours but divers enough to still look like it could be real. Plenty of room for housing (fit to my current airport and playing time needs) and equal room for economy. Those three parts are more or less separeted for the sake of easy tapping: passengers, coins and neighbour buildings.
My airport has to be small and functional. Every building needed will get its carefully chosen spot, with no room to spare. For flight items I prefer upgrading over building a second or a third one. Two runways are more than enough and located next to the hangars and repair base. Launch Pads and Mission Control Center are isolated from the airport.

I pick my destinations chronologically, one by one, selling a category of planes when done with them. Make me keep better track of the game. Of course in times of events, I have to buy the old planes again. Until my level 3 reserve hangar comes true, that is...

What's your playing style? What is your building strategy?
And what with space travel? Excavations? Alliances?

Tell me your vision, your strategy, your goals.
I love reading those things, it keeps me fresh and evaluating my own game...

Thanks in advance!!!

Kind regards,

W. Eagle

Same here. One type of plane + one destination + one week = one gold chest : ) My progress is quite slow because of this, but at least I know exactly how many weeks until I'll be selling all jets and buying all deltas.

About my building strategy: as compact as possible! Every time a road touches less than 4 buildings I take it as personal failure.
I think about writing a program to brute-force most compact arrangement possible but so far I'm too lazy to clean up after Wedding event, not even mentioning doing extra work outside of game. Thankfully I spent some real money on land so I'm limited by pop and power rather than space.

I have in general the same strategy like you,
1- I do all destination with the same plane step by step . Example: I star with 10 propeller-driven and I do all the destination we have to do with this kind of planes (regular destinations and excavation destinations) ,after I sale my 10 propelllers and I buy 10 turboprops and I do all the destination with this kind of planes ,and ect....actually I finish all the destination with the giants planes) .It slow way but sure way and you don't spend coins for changing your kind of planes for Nothing

2- when you do like this you get a building reward when you do excavation.This very important because this building you have acquired by the excavation destination will give you 1 item collection by day by building.And with that you accumulate your collection ,your gold token , silver token , coins, you increase your population,passenger ect....This is very important your put in your city this excavation building( I have app.80 to 100 items for completing the collection by day.)

3-when I build my city I take care of my space ,I save space when I take care to place a minimum of street as possible( The look of the city is less nice but much more efficient !!!!!!....I don't do a ''parade'' and I don't make a show !!! Productivity and efficiency before the image !)

4-When I build my city I take all the land I can in my city side and less on the Airport side.

5-if you are ready toplay some hours by day ( I do that !)....I put the maximum income building in my city and I put the minimum as possible of passenger I need for fly but I have to follow the building passenger all time to take the passengers in a row .The side wing and cottage are very important ( and a lot of building passenger with short counter ).In this way you accumulate the maximums coins for buying what you need.

6-When I want accumulate coins I put the bonus Inconvertible Coins and I put bonus Golden Toad when I have aa lot of building income.

7- I use a lot of bonus in my game : Golden Dice when I visit my neighbour
Family Ticket for add, my passengers
Alarm Clock for passengers instant
Fuel Catalyst,Jet Pack to accelerate my flight
Vintage Weathervan
Sky Captain and Business Class

8-In this game the faster you start to launch in Green,Blue and Red the better it is to get fuel for your flight and also tokens,building rewards ,ect...

9- I think that is very important to be and to have a reliable neighbours and you have to anticipate wich item you need in advance for your flights plans .With reliable neighbours at each day you can raise your building fast.

10- Look to build a team with the people who have the same spirit game than you.Find people that you can trust and enjoy the game and if you can ,that is very pleasant to develop relation with some players that become a friendship ( that's what I prefer in this game and that's the principal reason why I play this game since a long time now ! )

11- If you are not ready to spend a little bit of money you have to be very very very patient ( more than me !!)
12- I hope that I can help some players with this suggestions ...I don't have the key of succes ,I am just sharing my small experience !!!

Cheers and have fun !

Thanks for the input! Nice to read that an important goal is to aim at the leaderboards! Ambition can be healthy

Thank you! I am thrilled to read a high roller's story! Not that I mirror my goals entirely to your game but reading this makes me realize I still have a looong way to go...
Don't downplay your own succes, Rocky. You're one of the Gods on this forum ánd MY neighbour ...

Thank you for your kind words Wasted... You do by yourself your strategy and have fun and do a team with some of your best neighbours ! So .....I am far away from God ( and you know that ) but that is pleasant to receive a compliment like that ! And you know when I started my game some players have teach me their experiences ( @Brasil95 , @Anubhav , ) and a lot of players helped me with their reliable gifts ,...And with 2 buddies ( @m-bari , @SactoDave ) we had built a great team !

Thanks for the input! I'm always eager to learn from the masters...@rocky convinced me to go for the maps and the ancient destinations. Which maps do you buy? The maps for coins from the airship or the chests?

 

[M22]

I did buy for coins for almost all of them, I'd buy every Duke visit and buy a couple of excavations ahead so I had 100 maps ready once I moved up a level in planes. Now doing falcons I'm using both as it's 400 flights and I've got plenty of greens

 

[Wasted Eagle]

As I thought
It's now the third time I bought all the maps my level allow from Duke. A little monetary setback for the Sweets Factory, but good for the long run!

IN THE POINTS NUMBER 4 : when you are ready to start the Jumbo plane destination and you have accumulate 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 coins ( with your bonus using ...) I suggest you do contrary , now you put the maximum buildings passengers and minimum income buildings !!

Great to read these - as you say the diversity is everything!

I like to have collected everything, so I am trying to get one of each building, and don't really like duplication unless they really have value, so my aim is to work through the lists of what you can buy until I have them all. (I have just spent 5 greenies on a pumpkin patch - not because it does much, but because I have not got one!).Same reason I have 1 of most plane types, and keep the smaller ones for space and excavation flights. I like my airport to look real - so I could live in it. My roads connect to each other, and the airport hangars have to allow planes to taxi to the terminal and then to the runways! I have 3 starred all flights for my 4 smaller planes, and nearly there with jumbos when I will probably sell 1. In order to collect everything, coins are king, so I play and fly to maximise income t build quicker, and launches are the biggest single earner, so I try to always have a launch going. As soon as it lands, I look at the posts and join the best of those available. What else - oh, I send as little money as possible. I think I have bought 96 greenies 3 times in sales, and used them primarily for land. Finally, I always play as fairly as I can and would never cheat.

There - that's my playing philosophy. I look forward to reading about yours.
