Zoo Tycoon 2: Game Walkthrough and Guide

Discover tray Jester in the depth of the system unit CD C Zoo Tycoon 2. While the laser beam records the program on the hard drive, I will not leave your time with certain reflections. Do not worry, they are not at all distracted – if the presence described theses were not confirmed, you would now read a completely different entry.

Usually, the user does not pay special attention to the firm that has released another game. However, the influence of Microsoft on the rapid minds of programmers is very strong. Let’s say that their style is unique handicrafts. With its own distinctive features and face.

It (both handicrafts and face) in all its glory is an interface. Many belong to all these buttons frankly naughty – at least about aesthetics do not care. Comfortable and comfortable, and, I apologize, damn with him. But in our case, he is not so comfortable as Clear. Sit at the keyboard of anyone, from the baby and to the grandfather-veteran, and he does not even have to learn – it is impossible to get confused in the interface in principle.

Another pleasant surprise – protection from people, in common people called kitchen utensils – “kettles”. As if an inexperienced user neither tried, it will not fly into “Footings” without saving, will not change some important setting or something like that. Over the panels and menus honestly (in the form of an exception), designers were bother, literally… It is difficult to explain, better run the game and look at yourself.

In general, for such an approach to business, I am ready to sincerely shake Billy, despite its fire and monopolistic spray with cream. But, sorry, it is forging his ridge for that. Gentlemen tell me for mercy, so why hate originality so hate? I understand, I understand, the recipe for a successful “Park simulator” has long been adjusted, known, and the components are not disturbed almost as much eternity, but it’s time to know. Kill hour-other free time – always please kill, but, alas, do not wait for a full personality from the product.

And, finally, where such a wild idea came from: they say, the Alyapovaya picture is certainly good?! I do not understand. Maybe my extravagant tastes are to blame (I did not notice, but what the hell is not joking) or liquid crystals in the monitor, but I did not like the graphically. Not in general, of course, and separate elements – pictograms and, partly, drawings of artists.

So, we sum up. Surprisingly, ZT II fully deserved an assessment of “Order”. No novelty, freshness? With appearance experiments ended tragically? Well, the highest score game would not deserve, be it also the most beautiful white swan. After all, it is not a milestone in the genre, by no means milestone. But still ZT II objectively stronger than other competitors, in particular – Zoo Empire. The point, of course, is not in the friendly interface, but how to say… in Friendliness. Friendly Gameplay. It is not just interesting to mess with animals, but nice.

So neither time nor blood reader will not regret. Honestly. As they say, I give.

Debut salad

At first glance, everything is quite simple. You (User) – the real capitalist, the sole owner of a whole zoo. Unfortunately, this economy is initially forever in decline, and therefore it should be developed, develop and develop again. These goals have money, lie in the bank, the amount is visible on the main screen. Loans, loans, exactly like all other types of legitimate routing entrepreneurs no, so you are not destined to pay interest even in the most apparent missions.

Land legislation in Mirka animal magnates is not developed – buy / sell / rent Earth.

It is important: Do not give the will of giantia, it is worth a careful (and sometimes stingy) to be determined with all the dimensions.

In the unchanged areas there are also its advantages – an experienced tycoon will easily and immediately see the future zoo in all its glory, without looking backing on the varieties of land and severacy.

Visitors look alive and, most importantly, meaningful. It is very good that a bad example of individual economic strategies, contrary to the famous proverb, was not too infectious. And although the sims-ships remain unsatisfied (to create individual customers to players did not allow themselves), in general, the persons of people are remembered much better, and the crowd does not look like a crazy lemming orde.

By the way, in addition to such a crowd, I do not carry my breath and nauseous microstation – when, for example, prices are set up to cents with arrings. I do not see sense in it. Well, what is an ordinary player before, whether the client gives a cup of coffee 1.12 $ or 1.$ 15?

So, from now on, the jewelry exact prices go to the past, replaced by pictograms with the inscriptions “cheap”, “acceptable”, “expensive”. Read, look at the pictures, the pointer of the mouse in the push buttons – grace! And so with all the graphs of management, and not only with prices.

Customers penetrate you exclusively through the main entrance: the only gate in the zoo. Vandals, irrevocably preferred to them, decided users not to annoy. Their farm is held, firstly, for donations, and secondly – for money earned by selling tickets at the office at the entrance.

It is important: the latter to the offensive little, so the main task of the tycoon is to knock out the visitor a stunning tear and forced him to charity.

Clear case, a fully disappointed person will not give you voluntarily neither cents. So you need to cheer it hard. Excursions are served by this good business (they tell curious stories from the life of mammals), banal urns (observed on the lawns wrappers is not very pleased, is not true?) and physiologically mandatory toilets, indal establishments… Something from this list even brings money. And most importantly – the hungry people instantly leave the non-micro-sized zoo, where the worm can not be closed.

It is clear that the millionaires on the animals do not care. Yes, even if they cane – the pockets are not rubber, a kilogram of paper with images of American presidents to carry with them very inconvenient. From this output it follows that it is necessary to ensure massiness and not forget about the ATMs, it is advisable to put them in crowded places.

It is important: But at first, of course, take care to break out the whole pocket cash, otherwise a special meaning in A. T. M. (such is the typical name of an ATM in English) no.

At the end of the construction. Everything is being erected “by whining class, in my opinion”… And by price sheet. In other words, instantly, but for money. The heart of any zoo is undoubtedly his beasts. Range – Tracks for which customers march to animals. Organs – dining and souvenir benches. By the way, there are other anatomical analogues – let’s say, the exchanges for the processing of manure on an elevation. Not forgotten with a digit-bully pampering with a landscape.

And now, when the Aza is clear, go to specific actions, rules and menus.

Glory for “Teapots”

Any little, the man took place once dreamed of glory. Teapots, like kitchen utensils, could not be able to avail fame. Zoo, as something huge and inanimate, especially. However, your main responsibility – about the glory to dream and so much to achieve. And not some kind of metaphysical, but quite concrete and real, calculated in “asterisks” and clearly visible on the main screen.

So how fame to measure? It is clear how – in the already mentioned celestial bodies, the number of which, by the way, gradually changes within the boundaries from zero to five. The benefit from it is straight and very tasty – for example, some animals will not allow you to make it possible until you reach the heights of authoritative and fame. And how to achieve it? Well, in general – to develop efficiently and competently, and there we will attach Glory – everything is true. If more precise…

First, sometimes it becomes possible to take a number. Times the crowds of pets are fussing the cells, then you, undoubtedly, straight such a fucking magnate that even the right epithet on the mind does not come.

Honestly, the path is dead and ends in the swamp of bankruptcy. If not supported by simultaneous vigorous march in other directions.

Secondly, strive to start all the varieties of animals. Customers love when there is something to stand. Especially good rare and, therefore, symbolic animals, immediately the individuality of your zoo. When the readers are correctly combined as the Council the first and the Council of the second, I will, consider the digestion improves.

Thirdly, you don’t have to forget pets too. I gradually fastened strong suspicions that the “stars” affects, among other things, a certain number of each animal with a “happiness coefficient”. Therefore, caressing, caressing and again caress, and then Olympus will be reserved for you.

Fourth, it is quite important to comply with the natural habitat. I understand, the droplet is obligated, but still it is more correct to overpower the instincts, especially when you are stolen so significant benefits.

And the main thing is not so much pouring soils with fishing rods and shrubs, how much to ensure the educational value of the cell. I know, it sounds dying, but this, with the permission to say, Pearl composed at all I, and the developers themselves.

In general, when Guide (Animal Educator) rises to the podium (see. lower) and begins to broadcast, then his lecture is more useful to the listener when the animals beyond the eyes of a native biome. And here about this “educational value” should be taken care.

Fifth, entertain visitors in every way and let go on the will of the beasts. We will talk about it a little later.

Every bear – six acres!

Happy animals – happy and customers. I do not know how an ordinary European slacker distinguishes an elephant hungry from an elephant fusion, but it somehow distinguishes. So, perform any whims of our smaller brothers, otherwise the zoo visitors will donate less money or, God forbid, offend and go to the edge of the card with the hardest intention to quit us. Apparently, “green” is to blame.

Psychology of the shaggy pets of the public unfortunate: they want to eat and drink when they do not give water, no meat – they are offended when they give – sincerely rejoices. More on the mood of animals affects friendly company, welcoming vegetation. With the last and start.

“Small and soft” did not be lazy to turn on some zoopedia. Despite the suspicion of the inflamed domestic ear, this thing is not indecent, but quite useful. Put, reading her texts in English (and texts are written scientific language) is still difficult, but the lines of 1c do not sit idle.

I hope soon all articles of the electronic encyclopedia will be set out in Russian. And articles in the highest degree of employment – on biology and animal world. At full-fledged university textbooks do not pull, but, right, demand more from the game – at least naive.

So, in this zoopedia, in addition to many funny facts, it tells about biomes. Russian school textbooks call them mainly “natural zones”. The bottom line is that each animal is habititable by one-only biome, and in the rest of the little animals, the sick and sadness, depriving you donations that would be very useful.

It means to forget to correct the type of natural zones can not be. But here it immediately arises two questions: first, right to correct it, and, secondly, where to find out what kind of biology is native.

Favorite biome animals are clearly visible when it is selected from the list of animals (a mug with a pretty coal on the panel from the main screen) – pictogram on the panel on the right.

If you make sure to throw out the poor animal on the card without taking into account its natural zones, then do not worry, such an error is fixed quickly: the left button on the victim, in the characteristics window we go to the question tab, there is a bioma icon even better.

The first question is a bit more complicated, because it comes into contact with the pantery with the landscape. The mouse run to the pictogram with shovels, the events from now on, we are preferred by us on the first tab of its windows.

It is worth thank Blue Fang Games for the abundance of details: my hot loved one Tropical Rainforest (Tropical Rainforest) adjacent to a little less cute swamps (Wetland), Plains (Grassland) smoothly become Desert Desert, The last managed to distinguish from Savannah (Savannah). Finally, the attention of Lyuto hated by me Empty (SCRUB) and cool hellish (guess who he got from me?) Tundra (Tundra). By the way, the forests are not only a tropical, the educated reader will be sincerely happy to see Boreal Forest And Moderate Climate Forests (Temperate Forest). Well, and snacks-sweet remained Alpine climate (Alpine).

Of course, the biome of the poor capitalist is more comprehended by the wealthy tycoon. One tritely embanked by a layer of imported soil, and the other was still taken care of different oaks there on the lake shore and other water lishes. Allowed him to make it possible to make animals, of course, money. But, alas, sometimes you have to save.

On the other hand, disassemble vegetation personally not only boring, but also stupid. Especially when, at hand, a convenient system of modes: they switched strips on the first tab. Their seven pieces on biome. Unfortunately, to paint them in detail – it is a bit too for magazine pages. Fortunately, model modes. And although the 6th strip of empty is different from the strip of large forests, but only the types of trees and shrubs, soil, which is generally insignificant.

• Lake. Such a deep that straight joy of suicide drowns. If their growth – centimeters 170.

• Lake again. Poor women with paragraph above except shocker shoes with trousers.

• Pour one soil…

• …another…

• …Third.

• soil, shrub.

• soil, shrubs, trees.

In the last two modes of the rulers – Mr. Rand. No, he is not from the books of Amber City. We are talking about the eternal favorite of programmers, random numbers generator. But without using his services to save you from the unborn gardener’s position, perhaps it is impossible.

In other European zoos, animals live better than blacks in backward African republics. Feed better, clearly clean. Animals feed, shed and wash, and sinful people no one hurts her back with a washcloth.

Got used to the little bones? Please eat synthetic, complete feeling of successful hunting. Accustomed to not fall on warm stones? No problem, here is a heated cobblestone (I’m not kidding!). You wish to retire? For the sake of God, the grotter from cement is erected!

And skeletons, and stones, and cool dark pits are available. Refuse animals in their natural aspirations, on Western standards, sadism and the case is criminal. You are in jail for bullying the brothers, our smaller will not be placed, but the pets are swear and tasted.

It is important: In no case do not spare money on either extravagant FC (Food Container, Food Container), nor on Logov Beasts.
