moni , look at it like a book club. We all begin at the same time...play the game and check in here if we have any questions, or just to say how we are going. We all play at our own pace..but any helpful hints and discussions on a point etc are fresh in the minds of players as we are all doing it at the same time. You can just come here and vent frustration...pick a part of it for discussion...or just say you are enjoying it. Its moral support..and woodsey bonding, and like for smitty189 , a great way to explore new genres with backup

Purchased RE2 CE directly from Playrix back in Dec of 2011. I think I have all of the Playrix games prior to when they decided to go Web-based only. No longer had a working link to the game so it took some detective work on their site to determine that they no longer appear to support the PC games. However, I found it on another site and was able to download and re-register and am now having just as much fun playing it today as I did back in 2011.
My thanks to the group for having the idea to re-play some of the old games. Companies don't seem to want to make games nearly as entertaining as some of the old ones.
Made it through the log maze to level 5 with 9/9 stars and am getting re-acquainted with all the clicking (grin).

galaxy , you need to build a sawmill with your thousands of treasure money .. (its money)..and produce enough wood to buiid the bridge to get across to the fruit and the other treasure...when you have enough fruit and wood made...demolish your cabins...upgrade your cottages..and build two more cottages and upgrade them. If you really still get stuck...type into google or whatever search engine you use... Royal Envoy2...level 5 and there will be a video walkthrough to watch...and there will probably be several step by step ones with words from gamehouse or BFG...you can bookmark for yourself.then you just keep repeating until you get very familiar with the levels...and get quick enough at them to get three stars. That's what TM's are. You will find several levels coming up where you have nothing but money..and spare lots...so you will need to build sawmills or markets or pick exactly the right light to repair.. to get to some trees.. just to get going at all. GOOD ON YOU FOR GIVING A TM A SHOT!! *To everyone playing TM for the first time...give yourself a chance to figure out how they work. After a while it becomes second nature as to how much you need to have in your kitty before you demolish a building etc..and what each building costs to put up etc. Even old hands often have to repeat levels because they didnt save enough wood to upgrade or build before they knocked their sawmill down or they didnt hire enough workers before they demolished their market etc... thats the fun of TM's ..when to upgrade...when not to bother...when to build just cabins or cottages...always look at your goals.. If you need a heap of money...probably cottages...OR...is there treasure that may do that and you only need cabins etc. Which way to start...which way next?..To me that's the fun...working it all out..then of course you have to speedy time execute it ...lots of strategy.

galaxy , I'm proud of you! TM games can be really confusing at first but I promise you it gets easier easier the more you play, we may be HOPA fans but when we first started playing them, we were pretty clueless as to what to do and where to go there too! Also, getting 3-stars or all gold on every level isn't a requirement, you just need 1 star to progress...it's just a personal preference as to whether people want to keep replaying until they get 3-stars. If I can't pass it with 3 stars after a few attempts, sometime I will just move on and if I want to revisit that level later I can!

galaxy, smitty189, moni, joybelle, mooky, porky, @pennmom has a few ?minor/major? issues this morning so I will be way behind you guys...the sump pump that drains out laundry water from the basement apparently quit working and the basement carpet is wet in a huge area. The plumber just got here and is replacing the pump but I'm going to have to do some major cleanup at some point Rough Day

I think I got three stars when I completed a level. I quit and restarted the levels. I did have a saw mill but made sure I took all the wood I can. Will try the Western Artic again. Thanks pennmom, for the encouragement.

Tip for the ones haven't completed the Western Arctic, level 2... When you play this level, you have a task to collect 1,000 food... Cut up ALL the trees in the top left corner... there is a chest behind them with lots of food...

Porky here - Status update: just collected the rum from Pirate Island and forging ahead to Mountain Valley. Timer on some of the levels is fairly tight but have been able to get 3 stars on all the levels so far. Hope everyone else is faring well.
Back later with another update.
Oh ... and PenMom ... sorry to hear about your pump. Been there ... done that .... NO FUN!

Tip for Western Arctic Level 4 - Build a market as soon as you can (you'll need to demolish a house to make space), to be able to hire the workers (you'll need 10 workers to build the arena). Don't worry about who is the winning team at the snowball fight, you'll earn 3 stars regardless, as far as the arena is built on time.
