Well, I have made a money chart (spreadsheet ftw), if you really devoted, 3mins deal on candy shop gives you the best money per hr (5.9k per hr). 1hr deals volleyball and coliseum are about the same (about 1.3k/hr), with coliseum is slight higher but only by 20-30g. If you do 30min deals on trading post, it's about 50g better than coliseum n volleyball court. On the long term deals, 6hrs from coliseum gives you the best price (500g/hr), however, if your sleep pattern is 8hrs, stay with volleyball court(440g/hr). Kill all your theatre and shaman shop, they are bad for money, same with hotel. Athletes' arena is second runner up on gold per hr if you use 3mins deal on candy shop, but best on all other timers, however you need 40 gems to purchase the shop. I forgot to check the special temples, however, they are quite good for money on long term deal compares to other long term deals.

Keep in mind that these figures using the bonus income buff, as that's when you want to maximize your profit. Before these, I know I have to stick with 30mins deals, however, I was using a lot of 2hrs still, basically all the building I have. After the spreadsheet, I realize just how horrible theatre and hotel, and shaman shop was

Hope this help lol. Uhm, do we need the quest to clear the crystal orb so it shine the way through the mist for us like in island 1?

Thanks - I'm building volleyball courts like a madman right now.

I assume it had to be a typo, but you said volleyball courts only make 1.3k an hour. Even at a glance that is incredibly wrong. Volleyball is 2500 up front for 6000 return on a 1 hour deal, that's 3.5k/hr. I think the Dino Park is probably the highest income per hour now, but like Athlete's Arena, it costs crystals. I did get one though, for the sake of building completion, so if anyone wants to know the deals, I'll post them.

Just an update: I STILL have no resolution from the developer, on my refund. I made it really, REALLY clear that I need my money back, NOT the gems, as this game is too unstable to be worth playing through 40-odd levels again to get back to where I was. But, after nearly a month of waiting for the refund on my double charge, and nearly a week for the rest of my refunds, all I got was some gems I am not going to be able to use. To add insult to injury, I bought all my gems on 2x or 3x value days, but I was only credited as if I'd bought them on single value days.

I have written back yet AGAIN, explaining that this is not good enough, and I want my refund, but I'm beginning to lose hope.

Whatever you do, don't spend money on this game, unless you don't mind losing it completely. :-(

Hi there, it's per villagers. The amount is per hr per villager as each building use different amount of villagers. Looking at the spreadsheet, volleyball actually give more gold than coliseum, again, only by less than 50g different. I don't have the Dino park, so can't tell you how well it does. My calculation formular is (revenue - cost)/villagers/hr

Uhm, my bf told me that depend on what country you are in, you might be able to get a refund off apple. Apparently, in Taiwan, it's a law that if you're unhappy with the product, they have to refund you back but only within the first 2week after purchase. You might want to try apple, and complain about the developers. I know a few ppls has problem, trying to contact apple and might/might not get it resolve, but hopefully, seeing more and more customers complain, they might do something about it. It's a big stretch, but all the best to you

Here's a few updates for the day. First, i paid a bit more attention to my money making than usual. When I woke up, I bought the middle territory on Murlod Island for 3 million. So, I started my night with 249,010, that was at 12am (I'm nocturnal). I just set up my 4 islands before bed, and after that investment, as of 9am, I have 1,315,872. So, I made about 1.1 million in about 9 hours, doing mostly one hour deals on volleyball courts. I was producing materials on several of the islands as well, so that cut into profit. Anything I wasn't doing with volleyball courts I was using the island specialty facilities and coliseums. For informational purposes, I have 12 courts on Island of the Ancients, 16 each on Marble Fiord and Mystery Shore, and 7 on Ancestor's Atoll.

Also, I would like to let everyone know what the Dino Park gets you. It is 40 crystals to buy, 4 crystals to upgrade to level 2, 6 more to upgrade to level 3, and 10 more to level 4, so 60 crystals total, equal to basically $7 without a 3x bonus. What it gets you though, is pretty good.
1 hour deal is 4000 for 8000
2 hour deal is 7000 for 13000
4 hour deal is 11000 for 22000
8 hour deal is 14000 for 27000
Alone, none of that is particularly special, BUT, each deal is worth 1000 experience or more, great for early game, and every deal requires NO WORKERS. So, minus investment, it is purely free money and experience. If this had been available when I started playing, I would have bought one immediately, if I had also known how addicted to this game I would become.

And the castle like structure at the top of Murlod Island is referred to in one of the dialogues as the Murlod Treasury. The territory it is located in is another 4 million, and the territory to the right of it is 2 million. The territory to the left of it is not available to expand yet in my game, but my guess is 3 million, and if that is correct, it puts the total cost of Murlod Island at 20 million. That is just the purchase of land, and does not account for having to build every structure.

I already tried Apple, and they told me I need to go through the developer to get my refund. :-( Which I still haven't got, thought they have now given me a few more useless gems. I don't know how many ways I can say "I just want my money back!" before they get the picture!

[Alekfishy]

Aww, I feel your pain, but once you give the shark the meat, it won't let go lah best of luck >_<
