Cradle of Rome

I have got to level 98 at least 5 times but can't get any further, can anyone give me any tips? Would be very grateful as it's driving me mad!!

Hi Nanaken and welcome to the pond. I would love to hear some tips on this as I am either on level 98 or 99 and can't seem to get any further.

Hello, there. I have a fine solution for all your problems
First, go to the difficult level and match some tiles -- a few ones. Then get out of the game. Now click on the game icon again, but with the right button, just once. Click twice on properties (left button). Now, click on locate destiny (twice, left button). Same thing on "save". Point the mouse on your name and click once (right button). Edit, left button and Edit again; substitute. Type amount="200", and do ctrlC. Go to "substitute" and do ctrlV. Now you take out one of the zeroes, so that it will read amount="20". Now, press "locate" and substitute. Go on substituting until it says the job is finished. Close that window; they will ask you if you want to save. YESSSS! Close all windows, and go back to the game, as usual. TA-DA!! There you have it, lots of bonuses, one after the other. That's the only way you can reach the Emperors level. Sounds kinda compolicate, but its quite easy. Careful, though. Each time you want to have more bonuses, you have to repeat all these operations. And I strongly recommend that you copy the whole thing BEFORE changing anything. Bye and good luck.

the real kicker is this game originally had a "relax" mode when it was on nintendo or some such - I've seen the screen shot. I really wish they'd kept it.

Well I've played the game right through to the end and I never had to do any of the stuff Floraws suggested. But yes, these levels are insanely hard!

The trick is to have all your bonuses full before you get to the hardest levels. And then right at the beginning of the level use all the bonuses that you can replenish within that level. As soon as a bonus is ready, use it. Concentrate on matching those things that generate bonuses.

It isn't easy. It might take a few tries. I know it did for me. But it's enormously satisfying once you get through it

Good luck!
