How to Get More Kids in FrontierVille


When FrontierVille began, players started with their own avatar, a wife and one child. With the addition of more kids, gamers can have a much larger family.

FrontierVille kids are tiny avatars that you will see on almost every homestead. Like the adults, they appear in specific locations until it is time for them to get to work.

Making babies is a simple process. Open the market, click on the kid goal to buy it. The new mission will appear on the left side of the screen. After the mission is complete, players will be able to place a cradle on their homestead. Grow the baby by clicking once on the cradle. There are a total of three kid missions. When one mission is complete, players can go back to the market to buy the second and third missions.

FaceBook gamers can create unique children. When a child first appears, they will be given the option to name them. Another menu will allow them to customize their children. Each child can have a different look or they can be designed to look like miniature versions of their parents.

When someone first logs into FrontierVille, their avatar is ready to complete any tasks they point it to. If they click on other family members, they will go to work. The children work the same way as the adults. Click on a child to gain control of them. Click on a section of land to make them walk in that direction. Select an animal and the child will feed or groom the livestock. Kids can complete all the same tasks and missions as the adults.

Children can be used as decoration, to show that someone has a large family. They are also functional. If the husband and wife are busy doing something on the farm, select the child and they will be able to do other jobs. With five family members working instead of two, players will be able to plant, harvest, and clear land faster than ever. Making babies is also a great way to take care of animals if you have a large animal farm.

Treasure Isle Playing Experience



I love playing Treasure Isle, from Zynga Social games on the Facebook website.

I play every morning. When I first open the game, I check my gem tree for gems. I go around my island and collect any other items that need collecting (treasure from my floating treasure chest, prizes from my Tiki Relic, etc).

I travel to my friends' islands to gather gems from their trees if their trees are ripe. These gems come in very handy when searching for treasure on the many islands. They are mainly used to gain passage to the next part of the island.

I travel to the island I am currently searching for treasure. I collect as many treasures as my energy allows, until I have to recharge my energy. The easiest way to do this is to have some fruit accumulated. You can find fruit on the islands while you are searching for treasures.

Another way to get fruit is to get all of the items in a treasure collection. When a complete collection is traded in, you receive gold coins, experience points and some sort of fruit. Each fruit has a different amount of energy points it provides. The best one I have received is the dragonfruit.

Like all the Zynga Social games on Facebook, the more experience points you earn the higher your level. One key I have found is to watch how close you are to the next level before using up all the fruit in your backpack. If you are almost to the next level, just use the fruit you absolutely need to explore the island. Only get more if you have to, because when you go up in level your energy points are refilled and you would have wasted the points attained by using the fruit. No sense wasting the fruit, it will definitely come in handy.

Some people go to the squares that take the most energy to dig for treasure first. These are squares that have trees, bushes, rocks, etc on them. I prefer to take the more systematic approach. I do each row of squares in order. When I jumped around, I often missed squares and would have to go back and find them when I thought I had completed the island.

Since this is one of the social games by Zynga on Facebook, your friends can also send you items so add them.

FarmVille Hot FaceBook Game

Gamers that play social games will find Farmville an exciting adventure on FaceBook. After getting home from work, relax by visiting neighboring farms,growing crops, building and tending to life on the farm.

One of the key elements to success in FarmVille is to ask your friends to be neighbors. The more neighbors you have the more resources you can get to play this Zynga game. Who knows? You may enjoy the game enough to journal and write about your adventures on the farm.

Give your neighbors gifts and presents daily. This will keep a good interaction going between you. Check your FaceBook main page to assist with requests and reap rewards.

There are many levels to this game. You'll spend tons of hours playing to reach them all. You can use Zynga cash to purchase items in the game to make it easier to level fastest.

The Best CityVille Gifts to Send Neighbors


Almost every game on FaceBook allows its players to send gifts to neighbors and friends. These gifts can be used to enhance the game in some way.

Energy

CityVille players know that when they run out of energy, most of the game play stops. They cannont harvest crops, collect money or unpack boats without energy. They can receive energy by waiting for the energy bar to reload, turning in collections, visiting neighbors and by receiving energy gifts. Players should always send the +3 battery presents because it gives the most energy in the game.

Zoning Permits

CityVille is a large game but players only have a small portion of land when the game begins. To expand their city, they will have to spend twenty thousand dollars and a number of permits to get access to another square of land. Players can ask for permits on their FaceBook feed or they can receive them as gift items. Zoning permits are almost as important as energy if gamers want to have a big city. After a few expansions, CityVille requires 20 permits to expand.

Fountain

The fountain is one of the must have gift items that can help players earn more money. It is aesthetically pleasing and it adds 9% to the profits of any building you place it next to. Players can create a beautiful city and rake in the cash if they receive enough of these fountains as presents.

Fence

Unlike FarmVille and FrontierVille, this game does not have a lot of fencing to offer its players. One can be found in the marketplace. While the other will be rewarded to players when they turn in specific collections. This beautiful white fence can be used to frame homes or create paths. It also increases the profits of nearby homes and stores.

Seals, Marble and Ribbon

These items are not that sought after, but it is nice to have a collection of them in the inventory. When players build a community building, it will not be complete until they ask friends for enough marble, ribbons and seals.

FarmVille Gifts to Give Your Neighbors

Giving Farmville gifts is an enjoyable part of the gaming experience. Neighboring players are those best able to cooperate with you in the game and enjoy the farms with you. Friendly and neighborly gifts most commonly take the form of animals and plants.

Brown geese or two will makes for for great presents. Animals are a constant part of the game. Every animal on the farms has a role and purpose. Your friend will be pleased by the feathers worth eighty coins that can be collected every two days from their new brown goose and sometimes will yield a banded quill rare item that only the geese can produce.

Giving cows to your neighbors in Farmville should put a smile on any neighbor's face. Cows are perfect presents for someone playing every day because they produce milk daily on a set schedule. Cows also make a farm feel like a farm. Every day your neighbor will be able to "milk" their cow and produce six coins the generous gift. Each Dairy Farm that your neighbor has can hold up to forty cows so don't hold back when gifting a cow.

Pigs also make great offerings to your neighbors. Just like cows and geese once these animals are harvested, they stay on your farm to be harvested again so once you've given one your neighbor will always have it on their farm to harvest. Pigs can be used to produce truffles, just as cows can be used to produce milk. The difference between the truffle and milk harvesting is that while cows produce milk daily, pigs can only be used produce truffles once every two days. The upside to gifted pigs in the farmer's pigpen is that the farmer will be able to gain thirty coins for each of the collected truffles.

3 Ways To Dominate Mafia Wars


Mafia Wars is easily one of the top 5 social games being played on Facebook. If you aren't playing Mafia Wars yet, you should give it a try. The game play is simple and fun. Most of your Facebook friends are probably already playing. Here are three simple tips to help you advance quickly in the game.

Gifts

Social games have unique aspects you can take advantage of and gifting is the main one. Ask for gifts from your family especially, if you are just starting. Experienced players have lots of the bigger weapons you haven't unlocked yet. These will make it easy for you to win fights and gain experience. At the early levels, winning fights is an easy and fast way to gain experience.

Balance Fighting And Jobs

You have limited stamina for fighting and limited energy to complete jobs. When you first level up, do one job and one fight. This will allow both energy and stamina to start refilling right away. At higher levels you will run out of both. You will gain experience for every fight but you gain more for winning so look for fights you can win and pound those people into the hospital.

Play The Lotto

Click on Marketplace on the top, then choose Daily Chance on the left side. You can play once a day. After you submit a ticket, you have the chance to claim a prize. The more tickets you submit, the better the prize. After the second ticket, trade in for another ticket to fill out. The more tickets you have the more stuff you can win like Reward Points to spend on special items with really high attack and defend stats or you could win some of the specialty items you are saving Reward Points for.
