Zynga Launches Their New Game: FrontierVille

On June 9, 2010, Zynga announced the launch of FrontierVille, a wild west-themed social game that allows users to tame the wilderness, grow a family, and build a thriving town on the frontier. You can reach FrontierVille on Facebook today at http://apps.facebook.com/frontierville/.

The debut of FrontierVille, following the success of FarmVille, MafiaWars, FishVille and others, introduces a western theme to the Zynga family of games. The launch of FrontierVille also follows the recently launched Treasure Isle, which quickly became the fastest growing Facebook application of all time.

FrontierVille is the first in a new generation of social games, whcih introduce some new features, including multiple avatars on a single screen under one player’s control. For the first time, Zynga is introducing virtual families, allowing players to customize their spouse and raise a virtual family.

FrontierVille is a "living world," where players contend with wildlife encounters, varying weather, and vegetation growth. “FrontierVille gives users creative new ways to connect with people around the world while bringing out the pioneering spirit in all of us," said Brian Reynolds, Zynga’s chief game designer.

Beginning with a covered wagon and a plot of land, FrontierVille players set out to tame the wilderness, explore the wild West and establish a homestead with friends and family. FrontierVille game features include Family, Crops, Varmints and Neighbors. As in previous games, one needs to add Experience points in order to level up. Instead of FarmVille dollars, in FrontierVille you use Horseshoes to buy things for your homestead.

FrontierVille Awesome Tips and Hints

For those of you who have already played Farmville before, you know how addictive Facebook games can get. Zynga has just unleashed another hit in its management game series by showing off Frontierville. This game is based in the wild west. Your character enters the wild plains and you have to build your homestead so that it is suitable for your spouse.

This article lists out four great tips to help you succeed.

The first tip is to collect your daily bonuses everyday from your band wagon. You will never know what might show up because you need a lot of items in order to complete the small goals and missions. For example, I somehow got paint last time from my daily bonuses. You will need the paint to build your own house.

The second tip is to utilize the marketplace. You can get a lot of gold bonuses by planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables. I like to harvest wheat in the beginning because you get a lot of extra gold bonuses. However, you can get a lot more choices as soon as you add more neighbors to your homestead.

The third tip is to have as many neighbors as you can. The more neighbors you have, the higher your level will be, and the more energy and horse shoes you will have. How can you get many neighbor requests everyday? There is a section in the Zynga forum where you will find a lot of Frontierville neighbor requests.

The last tip is to clobber as many snakes, groundhogs and bears as you can. They may be annoying because they take up a lot of energy but they also give you a lot of bonuses so they are worth clobbering.

Frontierville is a great game. If you want to read more tips and hints then visit the Unofficial Frontierville community.
