I too have different strategies
1 dont buy level two farming
2 keep tribes different, ok I have a stretford wives blonde tribe and a ginger tribe, was hoping for a Black tribe weird that there is no black peeps, actually I;m a tad annoyed about that , Why No ethnic peeps?
3 ,either play for collectables or puzzles, I choose different each time, I got al but one collectable in one tribe just after cutter the briar away , while I waiting for tech points I found all the beetles, yes , JOHN PAUL RINGO and GEORGE i already had all the butterflies and the pebbles , just a shell waiting.... or play to max out the puzzles and elders , doing this, makes the game short I did that in my first tribe, game over in two days or so , so as above said ITS up to you
$ wait for patch ...... me doing 4 waiting for glitches to go away!!
