Reviews for "DotVille deluxe"
pretty good game but...
how do i fix drains... dots keep complaining about jammed drains...
finefin responds:
I'm afraid there's no way to fix drains. The only thing you can do is to distract your dots. reduce taxes and raise food rate...

Thanks! I'm not sure, but that could be it!
Walkthrough here!
A way to win this game easily:
1. Right at the start, build 3 farms.
2. For the 2nd turn, raise the food consumed and the tax rate, but make sure your stored food is more than the food consumed and you have at least 10 happiness in case of random events.
2. As soon as u get 1000 cash, build another farm. As your farms go up, raise the food consumed and tax rate correspondingly. Repeat until you have about 10 farms.
3. Save enough to build one marketplace.
4. From here on, it's pretty much plain sailing. Sell your food on the market, and use the money earned to produce more farms. As as your money goes up, lower the food consumed and tax rate to 0. All your revenue is gotten from selling food now.
5. As soon as you can afford it, buy status symbols as they get more expensive as the game progresses and they are most useful if bought early on in the game.
6. Continue building farms and buying status symbols until you have all status symbols and 100 farms. You should be somewhere around turn 30+ by then. Then spend every turn upgrading your fortress.
7. After that, just click "end round" until the last turn. Sell your enormous food stockpile and use them to buy weapons and troops.
That's it... I did that and i had all fortresses, all status symbols and nearly 3000 troops. Enjoy.
Great game!
I loved this game! It took me alot of tries to finally beat it (with ALOT of cursing involved), but I finally did.
The concept was innovative, and the game play was fun. The graphics, while simple, were good. (When your characters are 'Dots' you cannot expect too in-depth of graphics.) Although I was cursing the 'happiness' need while playing, the idea of it was good, and once I beat the game I was able to appreciate it. *grin*
I gave the sound a 5 because I did not have my volume turned on.
The humor (Dots vs. Squares, the events that affected 'happiness', etc...) was fresh and amusing.
All in all, this is a great game!
