How to Spend your Megabucks

Good Investments


#1 Increase Neighbor Capacity
   The best way to invest your Megabucks is to increase the amount of neighbors that you can have.  If you think about it, most assets cost 1 Megabuck each.  If you buy a new neighbor and they send you an asset as a gift each day, then you will earn your investment back in only 5 days!  It is also important to constantly monitor your neighbors to make sure that they are active, but we will discuss that in another post.


#2 Assets on Sale
   Do you need more than 5 of an asset to finish a building with an amazing contract?  If that particular asset is currently on sale, you will end up getting 66.6% more of that asset if you buy it on sale!  One particular asset that I have bought many of on sale is the Signal Lamps.  You need 110 of them to get all 10 airplanes to "Courier" status (the highest level before you are spending too many assets to upgrade).  Not to mention, you need another 35 to upgrade your trains from Miami to St. Louis.  For every 15 that you would have bought 1:1, you would get 25 instead if they were on sale.

#3 Territory Expansions
   If you have multiple territories that could use expanding, try to buy the one that gives you the most space for the same price.

Bad Investments


#1 Buying Individual Assets
   This might be tempting if you only need a couple more assets to finish a project.  But patience is a virtue - and patience will save you some Megabucks for a project that may need them more.

#2 Speeding up Contracts or Buildings
   This is a complete waste of Megabucks without question.  Just wait - you have more hours than you will ever have Megabucks available.

#3 Buying Buildings
   If a building is available for purchase with coins or Megabucks, just wait and shell out the coins.  Megabucks are far more hard to come by than coins (especially late game).
