Cradle of Rome

[Post New]by happyincr on Sep 8, 08 3:36 PM
I've been playing this game for over 7 months and find it most frustrating as I cannot get past level 68 without getting sent back to the beginning of that level. Why there isn't a relaxed mode for this game I will never understand as the way it is now it is no longer fun and has become a waste of time and money.

First of all,

Welcome happyincr to the pond!

Secondly, I played this game a couple of times. I did not get really hooked like on other 3-match games (Restaurant Rush & Burger Rush). I now only play it when there is nothing else to play.

The only tips I could find are as follows hope this helps:

Cradle of Rome can be a tough game once you pass the halfway point. So, here are a few tips to help with your resource-matching, city-building attempts.


Three tiles will get you a match, but four or more will earn extra resources.


In order to make it to Olympus before the game ends, you need to work quickly to build Rome so don't dawdle. Finish each level as quickly as possible.


In general, start making matches at the bottom of the screen first. As you create combos below, others will be generated above without extra effort on your part.


On levels with chains, try to create matches that break the chains first. Then move on to other combos.


Use bonuses as soon as they're replenished. Otherwise, you loose the benefit of additional matches.


If you're near the end of a level and you have time, fill up available bonuses before completing the last match. Then you can use that bonus on the next level if needed.

Sometimes tips are not enough. In those cases, tricks come into play. Here are a few to employ if you "really" need to cheat a bit. In the Cradle of Rome directory you'll find a file named Profiles.xml that you can edit. Make a copy of it before making any changes so you have a backup. Now, open Profiles.xml with Notepad. Find the line near the top where it says where "NAME" equals your user name ("<" and ">" begin and end each line of code). On the second line below this make the following changes. Please note that I'm using -- and -- to set off the text to be changed.


The text -- Last life="X" -- ("X" equals the current number of extra lives) can be changed to increase or decrease your available lives. Want 10 extra lives? Change it to read -- Last life="10" -- to make the increase.


The text -- level="XX" -- ("XX" equals the level you previously completed) can be changed to get past a particularly difficult level. So, if level 61 is giving you fits, change the text to read -- level="61" -- and when you restart the game, you'll be on level 62.

I'm still in the beginning and so far so good. I was skeptical about this game when I started out but I quickly changed my mind about it!

HELP!
I was frustrated and thought I would go to a easier level. Now I don"t know how to get back to the high level I was working on. Can any one help? Please

I'm really frustrated with Cradle of Rome, because I can't past level sixty and odds. I read Csuries tip, but couldn't do it correctly. Maybe one of you guys can give some more clues as to how to increase the number of lives. Thank you so much.

Same here, I am on my last life on level 56 and even earning bonuses doesn't get me done in time - I clicked on my Programs listing and there's no file to open to change anything. Does this mean I will have to start all over again from level 1? That's beyond mean, my hands are killing me now just trying to master the 50 levels, I can only imagine how hard the next ones will be.

I am on level 81 trying to gey Mt. Olympus. How long do you have to play to get there? My hands are beginning to swell playing for such a long time, I think I shall be content being Emperor.
