I have all of those X 2 - except the Art House Cinema and the Beach NC - I think both of those are ugly and weirdly shaped.

I wasn't going to get the Internet - but it was an old goal that I never finished so I bought one a couple of weeks ago just to get rid of the goal - it's only 225K - anyway, I like it so I bought a second one to even up my hood.........

Why no on the internet Company?

I wasn't going to purchase it personally because I hate the 48hour buildings...

WAY too long to wait for... I like instant gratification...

Beachside inn is way better then brownstones. They are both 24 hour buildings but beachside inn is 75,000 cheaper and makes more money.

I gotta disagree with you on the Internet Company. It's a 48 hour building, so is easy to collect. Also, what better 1hr building is there, other than the Adult Movie Theatre, which costs a lot of gold. I actually regret buying them.

Edit: and I disagree about the crematorium - also a 24hr building.

I went with the brownstones first because they took up less space. But will be getting Beachside next

yes for sure's: comedy club, flower shop, beachside inn. no for sure's: art house, beach nightclub, underboss house. crematoriam is a goal so you will have to build one takes forever to build. I like the internet company because its a 48 hour building but it does take up some space.

Crematorium is a hell no. Takes way too long to build, too expensive, too much of a robbery target, too costly to upgrade, and takes up too much space.

We're largely in agreement. The only caveat I'd add to this is that you get to the 90s and the Internet company begins to look pretty cost-effective. It's still a 48-hour turnover, which makes it phat robbery bait, but at this point I'm still in the pro-Internet company camp.

Helps put enough aside for a second upgrade + new building + expansion if I'm lucky :D

You're better served putting that into low-level building upgrades that pay for themselves much faster and require smaller capital outlays.

The break even point on a crematorium should rule it out as a time-eater upgrade.

One of the reasons I HATE that someone decided to call break-even point "ROI" is because most people on this site do not understand what it's telling them. It's a measure of how many hours it takes before you get your money back.... before you get back to zero.

Stupid to spend millions upgrading something that will take months to pay back when all you want to do is upgrade something to help you save in the short term. Upgrade the small stuff that costs a fraction of what crematoriums cost. They pay for themselves in a week or less, usually. Plus, that starts you out millions ahead on your saving endeavors.

That is true but they're buying it because they're only looking at the amount of money it pays out but they're not looking at $/Square/Hr. which is only $28.06. All the buildings that unlock after the Crematorium kill this amount by over $100 except for the Underboss' House with $64.53, the Russian Restaurant with $53.47, and the Modern Loft with $76.39. The Upscale Club unlocks 2 levels later with almost 4 times the $/Square/Hr., nearly 3 times the payout, and takes 12 hours to build compared to the Crematorium's 5 days to build.

Crematorium is a hell no. Takes way too long to build, too expensive, too much of a robbery target, too costly to upgrade, and takes up too much space.

The cost is only 1.2 million

A level 4 is only 5.8 million this is where mine will stop because time does start to be a little long after that.

all of those buildings will help...you just have to build and upgrade the right ones in order.

internet companies and beachside Inn, like others have said are good builds. The crematorium's can wait, but is an ok building to get when you have spare change.

The initial build was hell for me - because I was impatient about getting other stuff built too. But by the time I did the second one, I had nothing else available for a while and now that I'm saving for my NC, I don't mind the long upgrade times - so at certain times they will meet your requirements. Once my 77 hour house upgrade finishes - I will take 1 crematorium up to level 2.

You're correct, in that people like to rob those buildings and will almost always do so if they find them open. But one of the best features of the 12/24/48 hr buildings is that you can sync your collection and get them yourself almost every time.

Does this make sense to you?

LVL10 Gas Station = $4125 every 6 hours...
Beachside inn lvl1 = $12500 every 12 hours... more than double at lvl1...

I see what you trying to get at... but it gets to a point where a lvl10 gets replaced by a lvl1 building...

and therefore is not worth getting it up to lvl10...

It is all up to individuality and how one plays the game... I see a lot of the hl players who have gotten to a steady point don't like the 3hour buildings.

At my stage I need every penny I can get and choose to focus on 3 hours buildings.. I probably will change my mind once I get to level ~150.

If you need every penny, why would you sell buildings that have long since paid for themselves? Fine, not pushing it farther.

I won't deny that style of play affects the economic decisions that we all make on this game, but I do get frustrated reading some of the pseudo-math, pseudo-logic that passes through this site. Some buildings are just bad investments. You'd be better off building nothing than building them unless you plan on playing this same game for a long long time.

Get 2x Crematorium, Beachside Inn, Internet Company, and the Underboss house.
After those there really IMO is nothing worth buying for a loooong time (UC/NC/RC). I have the Internet companies at level two and the rest at level one. They add greatly to your income and help pay for those big money upgrades and builds like UC and NC. Funny all the best buildings for about thirty levels are Clubs.

I never have a lot of cash in the bank unless I am saving (14M more till NC!) during that time I upgrade those low cheap buildings that take a long time to finish. Crematoriums and Internet company were definitely worth purchasing and I will likely upgrade the Crematoriums at some point just not a priority same with Brownstone and Beachside Inn. I would get Comedy Club and Flower Shop if you don't have anything else to build and have some cash on hand.

I like my three hour buildings and if you can collect regularly add a major boost to your income if collected 4-5 times a day. If they do get robbed big deal, the loss of income is not that great and people typically pass them over because of the small amount of money robbed from them. I know I do.

I like the landromats and one hour buildings, even the beach nightclub, just because they time with the event and I use the cash to open whatever the drop item is. I bank my cash otherwise so this strategy works well. And why not, if you're doing the event every hour you know you'll be collecting on time.

Ok I may have contradicted myself a little...

However I'm not telling people what to do.. I was just wondering what to sell and what to buy next - and I think I found my answers :D

people can look at this thread and come up with their own conclusion. I thought the same as you. But I've slightly changed my pov... because I have so much I'd like to upgrade, I probably never going to upgrade the other buildings I sold beyond lvl4. Yes they bring money in and I suppose I would level them if I didn't have enough cash to level the "bigger" buildings... but I'm really never short on cash...

I would buy the beach nc - but its so big and bulky and at 1mill... I can't imagine the next lvl to be very smart...

I got the carousels and the sports bar I will level up and sync with events... I think... I think combined they could spit out close to 20k at lvl10? get maybe 2 more 1 hour buildings and presto.

I don't get it, is this a criticism?

Is there something negative about my strategy of banking? 10% is a hell of a lot less than I would lose if I didn't bank. Avoiding having to pull cash from the bank for events is obviously a plus...

I guess I have a few of the lower and mid level buildings left I sold most of them off because of the cost to expand the hood vers. income from them seemed like a no brainer but wished I hadnt spent as much time and money upgrading them... @ HL it seems the 12/24/48 are the ones you see the most because its hard to get robbed unless youre lazy.if you like waiting and saving during builds you will love the forever build time on the casino! lol

my first 10 mil I was just crawling and couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel - but now it seems to be going faster than I thought so I'm fully committed.
I may just build 1 and then do some other builds that I passed on - like the Office building and some upgrades and an expansion - and then do the upgrade on the NC.

You get to a point where anything worth building and upgrading is a robbery target. I'm currently building my 2nd crematorium because I don't have room for much else, and am saving for an expansion. By the time I sc**** the dough together, I'll spend on the expansion and it'll be done before my crematorium, leaving me some time to stack enough cash for the next build, without losing time.

Internet Company
Comedy Club
Beachside Inn
Art House
Flower Shop
Beach Nightclub
Crematorium
Underboss' HouseI only have two Internet Company's. I've deleted my flower shop and I've never built the rest of these buildings. Crematorium is a definite no go and I'm not convinced to buy Art Houses, Beach Nightclubs, Comedy Clubs and Beachside Inns as these buildings won't add a lot to my income/hr.

Why would you upgrade those to 10?

Look if anyone is willing to squat so long that they're upgrading those buildings (gas stations and the like) to 10, then most of the metrics go in the trash. There's really no reason or math at that point. Just upgrade everything to 10, then sell the buildings. If time isn't an actual limitation to the way someone plays then obviously B/E point is out the window and most of the other metrics, too.

This is one of the reasons I have problems with players who camp for weeks on end. What's the point? You've taken so much of the thought out of the game. All you're doing is poking a few buttons a few times a week. There's no thought necessary to that. You're going to upgrade all buildings regardless of their relative worth. Your accomplishment is basically not caring enough to actually play the game, not something I feel should be rewarded. Not that Crime City is a skill game, fighting anyone on here will quickly disprove that, but if you don't care enough to play, then why do you care?

If time isn't an actual limitation to the way someone plays then obviously B/E point is out the window and most of the other metrics, too.

This is one of the reasons I have problems with players who camp for weeks on end. What's the point? You've taken so much of the thought out of the game. All you're doing is poking a few buttons a few times a week. There's no thought necessary to that. You're going to upgrade all buildings regardless of their relative worth. Your accomplishment is basically not caring enough to actually play the game, not something I feel should be rewarded. Not that Crime City is a skill game, fighting anyone on here will quickly disprove that, but if you don't care enough to play, then why do you care?

... I'm not camping though...

You are saying level the "old buildings" and don't sell them... why would I level past 4 or 5 if I'm not taking them all the way?

And why would I keep them for 600 bucks or under 1000 bucks every 3/6/8/12 hours? it's pointless either way... so just sell them...

That's why it's better to replace them with bigger buildings... 1 building gave me more iph than all the buildings I deleted...

I do admit - I kept the gas stations as well.. something about them looks good.

What about churches? They bring in loads of cash

If I were you, I would go for the Gentlemen’s Club. Costs 50 gold less than the Church, and pays a lot more.
Level 1 Church: 48k per 24 hours, Level 1 GC: 360k per 24 hours.
The only problem with GC is that you can build it only at level 125.

Great thread by the way!

I was looking at those - I thought maybe even the hard rocks was a nice purchase and cheaper than churches..

Some of this theory works until you run into people like myself that absolutely must have every building (non-gold for me) in the game. I camp iOS (level 8) but not Android, that one I have to crawl due to leveling up too fast early on. I don't have the patience for camping. But yea, I'll keep builds/upgrades/expansions all going at the same time if I can, regardless of overall reward, every bit helps.

That's strange, I don't see it in my store, even as a locked building.

It's tempting to wait for the Gentleman's Club. But the church I could have right now. I can't even picture far enough into the future to be at level 125, I'll probably be old and have a beard. Well, a longer one.

Well here is the difference:

200 gold = 24hour building @ 48k
vs
125 gold = 24hour building @ 360k

You make the decision...

OR wait a little while longer and buy two chapels. Way more bang for the buck than 1 church.

Churches for sure....then wedding chapels......then rock cafes......etc.....etc.
I don't spend gold on events but for these buildings I do advise it..

Isn't it worth the 10% not to worry about having it stolen?

Insurance costs my money, my friend.Not if the 10% is 20 million bucks. That's the other solution. Just have so much they couldn't possibly take it all.
