Insurrection in Italy

Italy will be closing in 7 days!  New Mission but more importantly time to get those stadiums built for the final Achievement in Italy.

We will be bringing you more information about the mission as it unfolds.  Check back for the mission details.

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #10 Bonus mission, "Challenge Mission: Second Round"

Oh man, I'm glad to be done with this thing. In general, I like the idea of a bonus/challenge mission, but this was the icing on an already rotten cake, in this case.

Admittedly, I probably could have finished this a bit sooner, had I been more diligent about using stamina packs and declaring wars and collecting my properties. But I was flat-out outta steam by the time I got to this mission. This whole mission event was a terrible waste of energy and stamina in my opinion, and directly conflicted with other events going on in the game such as the Ice Seasons and mastery events. I highly dislike fighting in Chicago because of the increased stamina costs, especially when I would much rather have been working on the Ice Seasons. I REALLY hated blowing so many thousands of energy on this thing, when there was a mastery event in Italy that I could have/would rather have made much more use of.

You can collect from your Distillery every 8 hours, and you can declare a war every 8 hours, so if you were more on top of things than I was, you'd have finished this faster than I did. The icing was the hardest part for me to complete.

CHALLENGE MISSION: Second Round

Joe Castellano

You handled all that pretty easy. You want a real challenge now?

Objectives

• 0/5 COLLECT FROM YOUR DISTILLERY 5 TIMES.

  With some extra supervision, your Distillery might perform that much better.
  

  
  

• 0/75 ICE 75 OPPONENTS IN CHICAGO.

  Get rid of those fellas snooping around.
  

  
  

• 0/8 WIN 8 WARS.

  Good business is like fighting a war...

switch from Manhattan to New York for missions

I didn't realize this, but those few players who have Manhattan instead of New York didn't have access to missions. The problem is several months old, actually. I haven't seen Manhattan, so I'm not sure why it's such a problem for Zynga to give those players a mission bar.

Players who have Manhattan, but wish to be switched to New York to access missions need to request it to Zynga in this Get Satisfaction thread.

New: Staten Island 'Challenge Mission'

 Great, just what we needed, another event. This one will be in the theme of the previous mini-cities that we've seen in the past. These rank pretty low on the list of types of events I like; I doubt if I finished any of them after the first one (Paris, I think). 

So we're going back to New York for this one. Keeping it local. 

You'll be able to collect Ferry Passes every 23 hours, it appears. You will also be able to collect them from fighting. The event will last for a week. 7 days.

There is, of course, that stupid, annoying job heat meter you'll have to deal with again, too. Have fun.
