[KimmyJ726]

Anyone know which banana farm path I should go if I want to make the most money per round? Thanks!

whoops didn't notice, although remembering that first banana farm is cheaper makes 203 always better as your first marketplace too, just some more reasoning for that.

Admittedly did test, but PRETTY sure you'll get the most money starting with a Farmer and then going 200 around him, and at some point, maybe dropping a 002 Village in the center depending on how far you want to take it. Fill the space with 200's, then go 300, then 400 and 420. Around the point of the first 400 or so, upgrade the village to 004, or 204 if that will let you get more banks in it's range.

Again, haven't tested, but I think the 052 is very strong, especially if you use a Techbot to make sure you get your $10,000 activation ASAP.

But regardless of whether I'm right or wrong about this, the question isn't that simple, because in the end, it really matters when you the need the cash.

On maps with LOTS of water, the 024 Buckaneers and do a lot, and kill balloons, and then get bigger with the first xx5 Buckaneer. But that's only if you have a lot of water or really don't want to spend Monkey Money on a Farmer.

with MK,
path : cost(medium) : income : cost per income
200 : 2325 : 160 : 14.53 <-- best early
220 : 3425 : 208 : 16.46
300 : 5325 : 320 : 16.64
320 : 6425 : 416 : 15.44 <-- more cost effective than another 300 or upping to 400
400 : 24325 : 1500 : 16.21
420 : 25425 : 1950 : 13.03 <-- best if you can minimize losses
400(t5) : 24325 : 1875 : 12.97 <-- better than 200 or 320 if can minimize losses
420(t5) : 25425 : 2435 : 10.44 <-- best if can minimize losses, but now with t5 boost

Getting another farm vs upgrading:
1x 220 : 3425 : 208 : 16.46
2x 200 : 4650 : 320 : 14.53 <-- get more 200's
1x 300 : 5325 : 320 : 16.64

5x 300 : 26625 : 1600 : 16.64
4x 320 : 25700 : 1664 : 15.44 <-- still better than more 300's
10x 200 : 23250 : 1600 : 14.53 <-- get more 200's
1x 400 : 24325 : 1500 : 16.21 <-- >300's if you can do quickly, still <320's

1x 400(t5) : 24325 : 1875 : 12.97
1x 420 : 25425 : 1950 : 13.03 <-- best if able to do quickly
11x 200 : 25575 : 1760 : 14.53 <-- best if you for some reason have bad income still
4x 320 : 25700 : 1664 : 15.44


Its basically always better to make more 200's until you're out of land. Then upgrade to 320's, then 420's and at some point during that phase get a T5. This applies whether you're on that highway map with room for like 50 farms or if you just want a 2x2 of farms to hover mouse over.

Yeah, although raw stats don't make everything. It's also usually better to druid farm to get things faster.

Also, doing a Monkey city with 024/025s give $104 as well, so try that if your willing to risk getting bananas slower.

Also, there is an INF money strat that has you spam 003/004/005 buccaneers, which I tried it, and it easily allows you to get a lot of money. but it, like the farms, falls off at later rounds.

How do you use an end of round event as the basis for INF income?

They give money at the end of a round, and having them be at the max boost, (1 005 and 20 004), they give over 10k per round, get middle path for extra popping power, as faster shooting and double shot aren't as effective and grape shot and hot shot.

yeah but that's not infinite money... if that's what inf means anyways

It's basically it since you get so much money, that your able to afford T5s in only like 2-3 rounds

well it doesn't matter what way you farm, because your max defense only costs 2-3 million so you'll get it no matter what. even if you spam 024 banana farms, you'll get all your max defense fast enough.

Don't forget the the buccaneer "farmers" get a boost from xx4 and xx5 farms as well.

Yea, adding all of that can well give you over 15k per round.
