Using trees to hide building levels?

[TonySpaghetti]

I've been using trees to hide my building levels, but thought I saw a post once about how decorations aren't visible by would-be attackers. Is this true?

If someone here could visit my hood and let me know if they see my trees, I'd appreciate it. I'm level 138 with the same name in-game.

They were talking about a version of the game where you can't see decorations. I think it was the HD version.

I heard they aren't visible for Crime City HD(iPad) users, but regular Crime City users can see the trees.

Correct. iPad version doesn't show decorations. Using trees is still a good idea if you're worried and have a high enough IPH that the cost doesn't slow down your upgrades.

I've got a iPad and I still see decorations on the non hd, just not the hd version

Gree will fix this as soon as they get a 3 day break from collecting money from events. They use those 2 days in between events to count their money and laugh all the way to bank instead of fixing a well known bug.

Well, do you see other players' decorations? Then there's your answer.

It's a bug on the iPad HD version of CC just like mxz said. Its a bonus for CC HD users because they can see the level of every building.

I used to hide my building level with trees, but I think it's pretty useless now (not that it's a useless strategy on every level).

If I see a NC, I'm gonna rob it regardless of the level. An office building, I'm gonna rob it. A hotel, well, you get the idea. If I see a level 10 warehouse, pawn shop, gun shop, etc., I'm not gonna waste the stamina. The only buildings that it would make a difference on, for me, are Lofts and MTs. But if someone goes to the trouble of trying to hide it, then I'll hit it at least once just to see what it brings in.

I don't know if they HAVE any decorations.

Tony, like others said, anybody playing CC HD on ipad cannot see others decorations. So, if any of your rivals are playing on CC HD, then they will see your building levels despite the trees.

You're at level 138, surely you have either seen a rival with decorations or not by now? Go visit 10 hoods. If you don't see any then you have your answer

Thanks for the info.

I like to build the taller buildings.... to hide my trees. Even HD players can't see them.

Agree, at some point hiding your buildings become pointless.
