Which is why I think starting with 2x1mill streets is the way forward. Leaves 500k to build houses on each. And you will make 3mill in the first day

Just tried this strategy with a 2nd account. A £1mil street brings in £100k rent. So if you buy 2 you are left with £1mil. Put 10 green houses on each gives an extra £500k rent on each giving a total of £1.2mil.

My first account brought in £1.4mil after day 1, the strategy with that one was as many streets as possible leaving about 500k for houses. Will look into rents on that one now and add them up.

Edit: OK just re-checked account 1. Rent only adds up to £550k so I have no idea why I made £1.4mil, maybe someone could clarify? But it does look like 2x1mil streets is more economical. However that strategy does leave you open to hazards with all those empty spaces as well as your rent only being dependent on 2 streets.

Egon, you just offered me $ for Johnson Terrace ;). Yes I have more than one account - the plan was to sell Nassau streets off to other OcUK'ers at the base price, kind of like a private bank :p. But with the reset coming I'm just using them for practice/playing around now. Just though I'd let you know!

Also, you get $1mil rent just for logging in. Why it was $1.4mil instead of $1.55mil I don't know though.

That makes sense I added up after buying more properties so yes $1.4ish was about right then.

Haha, I was just looking around Nassau to see what streets weren't OCUKers :p

I take after the reset everyone is looking at Nassau again?

I'm going to be looking at Nassau yeah (as well as my immediate home area). I say if we take Nassau then we move onto the Bahamas as a whole :D.

It is worth making offers as well - I've had two accepted on Nassau from randomers and the price was only marginally above the base. Just unlucky that you picked one of mine :p.

Cheating, to be honest :(. Well, multiple accounts. All with the best interest - Nassau for OcUK! I've had to create a spreadsheet it's so confusing, but that says as of yesterday I had $55m in total assets and last night's rent was £18.9m. My main account (Russinating) got $11m when I logged in this morning even though 5 of my streets are hazarded. I've realised it's better to save your spending until as late as you can, that way you're less of a target and you can put houses on streets with haven't been sabotaged throughout the day.

you stinky cheat you!
 
Reading the blog it looks as though they are changing the rules a bit when they reset to mak it 'fairer'. WOnder what that entails.

In my opinion you need to log in twice. Once early after the rent if you want to buy new roads (as I read somewhere that they would release more at later dates), and again just before rent to get rid of any hazards and do your building.

Also noticed that they have confirmed that connected streets offer no bonus.

I'm on this too, though not paying much attention to it.

One $1m road with 9 x $300 buildings and 1 x $400 total road value is $4.1M rent value is $2.88M :o

This reset could be a very good thing as some of the rules are odd and some just don't seem to be implemented.

We need to find somewhere much bigger than that island for the restart.

I suggest Delft, I got one account there Burning Spiders, There's loads of 1million roads and very few people buying there. we can spread out to loads of big cities as well. Working as a team to sabotage others. Coordinate an attack to sabotage all there roads, then make offers. So they have to sale.

I agree, Nassau is actually quite small. Fiji is another one that's similar but a little bigger. They initially said the reset would be mid next week, so if we take that as Wed/Thur it would be good to have a start point decided on.

Not sure I agree with Delft though - there's something quite nice about trying to own/owning a whole island like Nassau, whereas with Delft you can literally carry on going all the way to, well... India I guess :p
