HipSoft’s popular Build-a-lot games have successfully taken the concept and turned it into an addictive casual strategy series. Earlier installments have you working your property mogul mojo in modern times, with installments focusing on international travel, clean energy, and building award-wining towns. The series’ fifth game, Build-a-lot: The Elizabethan Era, switches things up by journeying back in time.Read more...

South Wales - Level 7
Goals: 6 crop farms, 6 livestock farms, +200 Happiness, 1 windmill
Strategy: There are 14 lots, and you need 12 farms. To achieve the happiness goal, upgrade all the livestock farms to 5 stars. That means having over 30 farmers to speed up the pace. Concentrate on the livestock farms first, because they have higher happiness than crop farms. For income, build 3-star Palaces and replace them with crop farms when you've bought every house. You'll need a stone mason for walls, just replace it with a windmill at the end.
Step-by-step:

Build a Blacksmith.Buy other lots & small houses and demolish them. Start building Palaces. Upgrade them to 3 stars.When you have 4 three-star palaces, start building 6 Livestock farms. Hire 3 more workers to speed things up. By now you should own nearly every lot.Upgrade the farms and keep training farmers, one batch after another. Keep buying materials.Buy the next house that comes up for sale and build a stone mason on it.Build stone walls around the farms. Upgrade them to 5 stars. You need over 30 farmers to keep the workflow going.If you own every lot, then you can start demolishing the 4 Palaces to replace them with 4 crop farms.

Build 2 more crop farms.Build stone walls around them. Add a +2 upgrade for all crop farms. And another +2 for one farm.Replace the stone mason with a windmill.
South Wales - Level 8
Goals: 1 Carpenter, 10 inspections, Money 5 million, 15 empty lots
Strategy: There are 16 lots. You need a quarry, workshop, blacksmith, and carpenter. The rest are palaces upgraded to 3-stars. Inspect 10 palaces, and when nearly at 5 million, demolish everything except for the carpenter.
Step-by-step:

With the money, train 3 workers and buy maximum materials.Build a Blacksmith.Start building Palaces. Don't buy any houses (except cobs). You have enough empty lots for now. Save your money for materials (always buy the maximum).Keep building Palaces and upgrade as much as you can. Only when you have over 4 Palaces, should you buy small houses to demolish. Buy all other houses and replace with 3-star Palaces.Train up to 28 workers (you'll need this much to do quick demolitions later). When you no longer need the Quarry & Workshop, demolish them.Build a Carpenter. Inspect 10 palaces (or all if you wish). Wait till your money is over 4 million, then start demolishing all the Palaces.The last to be demolished is the Blacksmith.Be sure not to demolish the Carpenter!
South Wales - Level 9
Goals: 1 Abbey, 1 Marketplace, Rent 125,000, 15 Tudors
Strategy: There are 18 lots. You need 15 for the Tudors, 1 for the Abbey, 1 for the Marketplace. That leaves 1 last space. Even if all 15 Tudors are upgraded to 3 stars, it still won't be enough to reach the required rent, so use the remaining lot for a Palace. To reach 125,000 rent, you'll need: 1 Palace with 3 stars, 11 tudors with 3 stars, and 4 regular Tudors. There's no need to upgrade the last 4 Tudors, especially if you're running out of time.
Step-by-step:
1. Build a Mansion, collect rent once and sell it.
Demolish all your houses. Buy 1000 materials and build a Quarry.Buy maximum materials and build a Workshop. Train 3 workers.Build a Blacksmith.Build 4 Palaces, always buying the maximum materials.Do the following in no particular order:

South Wales - Level 10
Goals: 6 services, 4 walled mansions, 4 walled palaces, +160 Happiness
Strategy: There are 19 lots. 8 are for the houses, 6 for services, so you can use the remaining 5 to boost happiness. I placed the houses in the center lots since it seems faster for the workers to get there, and with all the upgrades, quick access is important. You should reach +160 happiness with: 4 palaces & 4 mansions, all walled and 3-star, 2 walled farms (no need to upgrade) and 3 top amusements.
Step-by-step:
Build a Mansion, collect rent once, sell it. Buy the house that goes up for sale immediately, so you can get the full price on the Mansion.Buy 1000 materials and build a Quarry.Buy maximum materials and build a Blacksmith.Build the 4 palaces and upgrade all to 3 stars.Prioritize the palaces, but at the same time, do these in any order:
Buy small houses and demolish.
Build a Workshop & train up to 21 workers.
Build 4 Mansions and upgrade all to 3 stars.
Build a Stone Mason. Wall the palaces & mansions.
Build useful services: Apothecary & Marketplace.
Buy the most expensive houses last, when you have over 1 million. Demolish them, and complete the 6 services.Build 2 farms and wall them.Demolish your 3 buildings and build the 3 top amusements.
