philp110 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 So I hit 3999 infra today and now have all the monetary improvements. Yay! I've been labor camp swapping, sure does help out with the bills. I collect appr. $4.4M a day (that will go down a bit when a few events expire) before paying bills, so it would take quite a bit of time to save up $40M for the SSS. So, should I save for my first wonder now or after I make the infra jump? And of course, why do you recommend taking that route? (and if you look at my nation, yes I know I need more tech). Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death666Angel Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 If you have a pop-event that makes it possible for you to improvement swap right now, do the infra-jump before it expires. If you have all economy-boosting improvements without an event, go for the Stock Market (it turns out on top of the SSS as first wonder because you can get it approximately 4 days earlier) .

Lavo Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'd wait untill 4999.99 Infa to start buying Wonders (that's what I did). BTW, there is no 4k Infa Jump/you won't notice it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorp Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Wait till after the 4k jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp110 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 ... BTW, there is no 4k Infa Jump/you won't notice it at all. Yes there is... 3999.99 infra Upkeep per level $512 Cost per level to buy $48770 4000 infra Upkeep per level $577 Cost per level to buy $65000 Anyone know approximately how many levels of infra I need to purchase to jump past 4000? 100 levels? 200? I'll probably just buy someone's donation to get it done nice and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 ...My bad. 100 Infa SHOULD even out your bills if not increase your income. A Donation shall do this nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp110 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 lol, I just received a +15% population event. That settles it then, I'll save for the wonder after the jump and after the event expires. It probably makes more sense to dump more $ into infra with the event.

Matt Palazzolo Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 You should buy the wonder at 3999.99 infra, mainly because of the 30 day waiting period. It is highly recommended that you buy the Interstate System just before the 5k infra jump. The best possible scenario is to buy the Stock Market just before the 3k jump, the Interstate System just before the 5k jump, and the SSS somewhere inbetween.

PrinceArutha Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 do the jump. But I highly recommend getting a wonder as soon as possible. I would recommend getting the Interstate system before making the 5K jump or you will have some problems. I just did it without the interstate and I'll be honest.... it sucked... .

The best possible scenario is to buy the Stock Market just before the 3k jump, the Interstate System just before the 5k jump, and the SSS somewhere inbetween. This I bought my stock market at 3999.99 and then used a donation to do the jump. I did labor camp cycles to save up money and only bought infrastructure again once I had enough to get my SSS. After that, I purchased my SSS at about 4400-4500 infrastructure and then purchased infrastructure up to 4999.99. On December Eighth, I'm going to get a disaster relief agency, since I don't plan on going over 4999.99 infrastructure anytime soon, and that way I can start doing 2 tech deals a week (And the income bonus of the extra pop is greater than the upkeep savings of an interstate) I personally think it's important to get wonders whenever you can (As in, you should always have the money to be able to purchase one as soon as you're allowed, so you don't lose any time every 30 days) If you leave it to late, you're going to end up having to sit at 4999.99 for 3 months, since you really need to get a stock market, social security system and an interstate before you could effectively try and grow beyond that point.

I appreciate the advice. I think I will take it, I am attempting to buy a donation this week and am well along the way to saving up the cash for the Stock Market.

Drai Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Most of the advice here has been really good, I would get the stock market at the 4k jump, and then the SSS around 4400-4500 and the Interstate at 5k, that is the best case scenario. Congrats on the event, that should help you out a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Bah you can go past the 5k inf jump with no wonders. I'd recommend getting em anyways of course but it's by no means difficult to do without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sanders Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Bah you can go past the 5k inf jump with no wonders. I'd recommend getting em anyways of course but it's by no means difficult to do without them. I think I heard that the break even point without wonders is about 6200 infra. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Not sure if that's true but it sounds good to me. I know i bought my first wonder at 4,999.99 inf. If you really want to know whats best work the math out and find what will generate more income the number of days you need to save to buy the wonder vs. the amount of money you would make if you spent that money on inf. -Veritas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
