Oil Tycoon achievement supposed to be funny!?

[Vilo_le_Loup]

Sry,

but is the "Oil Tycoon" achievement a joke or am I missing something!? It's hard enough to get all shares OR 1 million on the bank account. But how in the world should I be able to have 100% of the shares AND 1 million on the bank account!? In stage 3, I always made round about 50k and in stage 4, 50-70k and I own 60% of the shares so far, but I'm only at kinda 130k. I think I have 7 levels left and I also think I'm not gonna make it ... again. This is one of the unfairst and most frustrating achievements I ever experienced in my life! Thats why most of the people (of those 1%), did it with a loan. But even that got fixed.

So why!? Just .... why!? I mean I like a challenge but, come one!

Not sure if it still works, but getting a loan is the way to do it. If I'm not mistaken after the 100% shares, before the final extra island. Answer back here if it works to help other people get it too. (you can get like, a 950k loan)

It doesn't work had 550k and got 650k loan before the last level when it ended I had to pay 700k+ in interest

I don’t need it to be fun but I have put so many rounds into it trying to get it. No luck. Any hints?

I have this achievement, so it is possible. And no, I didn't get a loan....

Good for you and nobody said it's impossible.

1. Get the DLC. It makes it easier to start earning big bucks faster (earlier in game). Play the first level normally, and then loan aggresive to buy essential upgrades soon in the game. In every level, loan about 3-5k to get started quicker.
2. Outplay AI; buy land first, this triggers the AI to buy upgrades and so they have less money to outbid you on shares
3. Play on normal difficulty, hard AI is smarter/better
4. Don't buy upgrades you don't need. I saved about 100k in upgrades that i didn't need and thus didn't buy (like scanner size 2 and 3 and some others)
5. DLC part; sell all the gems in the final section of land, try to sell one after each level. You don't need the bonus level.

With this i made 100% with 1mil and 77k, so barely. But no loan cheating ;).
