Westward

I found this game fairly entertaining - for the brief time it lasted! I was pretty surprised at how short the actual game is. I downloaded on a Saturday morning and by Sunday evening I had captured/found the mad Russian.
That's it - no more - Game Over.
It would be nice to be able to go back and continue building/improving upon your towns.
But the game is just way too short.

This is my FIRST time to play a game and so far I like it but I think I'm still in the tutorial - it sounds like there is so much more to this game but I am just in this one place, built a pretty decent town, have plenty of food and water but no more wood or gold. My tasks are to rescue the kidnapped girl, hire a sheriff to talk to John, and find something by the twin falls - my buildings are all destroyed by a tornado - I'm selling food to buy wood and gold but can't get ahead - and I keep waiting for the game to start - is this it? Am I in the game? What do I do next? Thanks-
(I think I'm going to like gaming so any suggestions for other good ones would be appreciated) mj

There are cheats for Westward the one I tried was really cool!

So you've already captured the Russian? What about Mr Wong? I mean are you kidding?

I really enjoyed this game... note the past tense!
Whenever I try to open Westward up once I have closed it down, I get a "Westward has encountered a problem and needs to close" popup. This is REALLY annoying as I have to reinstall the game losing any progress made.
Anyone else get this problem or is it my computer?

My task is to have the sheriff deliver $1000 ransom to the kidnappers......I look around the all area (so I think) but I cannot find these kidnappers.

In Lightning Bluff there is a square hole north of the tracks with a sparkly spot on the right side of it. I cannot figure out how to get in there. I have tried irrigation and dynamite and the rabbit. When I drag a settler to it I get the grab bag icon, so I know there must be something there. I want to know what it is. Anyone figured this out yet?

(btw, I've already beaten the whole game. Just playing again to try to figure out what that sparkle is.)

Hi there anyone who has finished this game please help! I'm in an area called Final Walkthrough and have tried twice to get the Sheriff to blow up the canyon. I have paid the 600 gold to the uncle for the special TNT but how do you get the sheriff to lay the charge on the north side of the canyon and where is my other lot of dynamite anyway?!!

Thanks Leonie

After I get Mr. Wong on the Wong way my game goes right back to when the deputy walks into Lightening Bluff. I have some kind of glitch or something!! How can I fix it? I can't proceed through the game with it. HELP! Please

I've finished this game already .I like it!!!

hi
I have finished westward and really enjoyed it, does anyone know any other games similar I have already played vv1 and 2 and escape to paradise.

Can anyone please help me? I'm stuck at the "Where's Waldo" phase.....I've killed all the cooperheads, but I cannot find the "house" that the goals refer to. Please help!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance! :o)

Help!!! I am to the point where my land got flooded and now I have to stock up with 300 wood 300 gold and 30 food...how can I earn gold...the center of my map is still black, but I can't earn gold to build bridges and I have already found all the gold possible. Any suggestions? Should I just sit here and let my money build up?

Hi,

I love this game, it's so addicting. I am a little stuck though in lightning bluffs. I can not find the farmer anywhere.

I have been all over, found the saloon at North etc...Could someone please help???

FOR MANDI:
Well, you should buy bridges so you can explore the middle of the "lake". You will find gold. I suggest puting a bridge to the small island above the lumber camp near the north west part of the map, then nest to that little island you will find a bigger island and that one if I remember correctly there will be alot of gold there.

FOR CHELLE:
Follow the train tracks to the east then cross the river via the train track bridge, then head south once you have gotten across you'll find a guy with a bunch of bunnies. He's the farmer. He will ask you to buy a bunny for 50$ and he'll also give you his old farm. If you have already gone a bit north of tracks close to the west side of the map you'll find a hole. Get your bunny to go over to the hole and he'll dig up some gold for you.

how do you get through A bridge too far away? i cant buy anything from the general store because it needs to be repaired but when i drag somebody to it it doesnt say that you can repair it. i need help??????? I AM VERY NEW TO THIS GAME!!!

I had such a hard time trying to figure out where the treasure is in Hope Falls And I finally found it :

1.The first thing you have to do is do the 2 sidequest the one where you get TNT from freeing the Miners and the Bridge from rescuing the Tourist's.

2. Now go far South into the Canyons and than east their is a passage blocked by a rock blow it up with TNT, than go south after that and grab the map and talk to the miner its close to him.

3.Next go straight North till you hit top of the map *you HAVE to have some one near the maps to show them* once you have hit the top North East corner their is a rock near where you started you have to have TNT again blow the rocks up and take the 2nd peice.

4. Now you have to go south to where their are two waterfalls and 1 big one under it take 1 of your people again and go near the water, it should appear next to it.

5.Go North you will have to travel across the lake I suggest using to bridges under the double falls. Once you get up their will be rocks blocking your path blow them up with my all time favorite TNT. Head North than west their will 4 red trees in a stange pattern head into the middle of it the last peice will appear.

6.Head North on the other part of the island head north of the bottom of it than head to west part of it their will be bandits better get at least 4 Gunslingers. Tnt the rocks and head in and Ta-Da! Their is treasure of over 500 Gold!!!

Hi i too am having trouble with the lighting bluff phase of the game.I have to get two more northern folks to lighting bluff but i cant bulid a gold mine or a blacksmith. and ive killed all the bandits and expolored everything there is to explore were do i go from here.i dont know what i could be doing wrong if there is anything that im not doing.

Hi im having trouble with the lighting bluff portion of the game. After getting the town back on its feet and building alot of the required buildings for the home improvement quest. Im down to two and i cant build three of the new building sites. Its not that i dont have the required buildings to build them its just that no matter what i try i cant build them. I've tried irrigation blowing things up and putting the mine over the depleted gold vein and still nothing. I've killed all the bandits i could find and yet i dont know what else to do. Can someone please help me. Margaret

Hi!

I am having trouble a the stinky Pete stage where you have to bring your wagon thru. Ok so I searched the whole area and found pete but nothing happens, he don't talk or no I above him! I don't know what else to do!!! Does anyone have any advice please?

HEllo..
How do I get the treasure from north of the collapsed mine and west of the falling tree, under the gray stone. and i don't know where is it.. HELPPP. thanks

How do l get up north?I am so stuck and l have tried everything to find that saloon.

I need help in the 300/300/30. I have tryed it 20 different times with 20 different scenarios. I seem to have the most luck with making as many farms as possible. I keep running out of wood and then I give up waiting for my farm to yield enough to sell it at the trading post. Can I use the stuff in the barrels ever. I have only put all of the stuff in the barrels once and then I found out that I needed to give that dude $400. Are you kidding me??? How am I going to raise that? I have cleared all other levels in one shot. I think that I might be overthinking this one. I have uncovered all islands and I know which are important. Is the saloon needed, or can I blow it up for wood??????

Where do I find a sheriff to hire? I am at Hope River. Where do I get the gunslingers and how do I repair my buildings? Thanks to anyone who can help.

im stuck at the place where you have to free the mayor it's saying to search the house for the mayor but there is no house. and i think i've defeated all the bandits. i freed one mayor and he said he was going to send some people but they dont turn up and the base camp needs fixing but it wont let me fix it HELPP!!!

I have searched for hours on the internet for hints to complete certain tasks and I've only found people asking the same questions I was with few, if any, answers.
Therefore, I took it upon myself to write a complete walkthrough for this game, from start to finish.
You can find this walkthrough at WestwardGame.bravehost.com
Hope this helps!

"1. Where do I find a sheriff to hire? I am at Hope River. 2. Where do I get the gunslingers 3.and how do I repair my buildings? Thanks to anyone who can help."

1. you have to build a jail/sheriff station - than you can hire sherrif and deputies

2. you hire gunslingers at the saloon - build it, have someone work in it and then you will find them, there

3. Finally, press left mouse button over the building to see it's status and what it needs to be repaired. when you have enough wood and gold, with left button drag a character to the building and drop it when the hammer shows up.

I am also having some trouble finding the kidnappers to give my 1000 gold ransom to. I'm going nowhere at the moment and need your help!

hi i am stuck at defeating wongs gang, i have already beaten the game once but this time around i get " the non existent character" help me please

I need help with wheres waldo! I have defeated the bandits, but I cannot find the "house" that it says I need to free him from ????? help!

I am stuck after Trapped when the task says talk to Simon @ going after Wong. He does not have a ! on top of his head. Do I have to do something else first? I still have to get the bank but all my other tasks are done. thanks

how do you find stinky pete?

Here are some answers to questions I see on here - hope they help and then a question on the hidden levels.

The beginning characters (of each screen) usually won't leave even if no food. I try not to bring more people to town until i have enough resources in place to feed them. I also don't click on the I's until I am fairly set up to deal with the task. Those 5 people who come looking for 40 food don't get it until I have used them to mine all the gold and cut all the lumber - cruel but they won't leave no matter how hungry.

To make a sheriff - build a jail and there is no need to put someone there as employee - just click on building and you will see 2 icons - star (clicking it will create a sheriff) and a deputy badge (clicking it will create a deputy) cost of sheriff 150 cost of deputy 100 -

To deliver the ransom - go to left side of area - via a bridge and go to the blocked arch shaped rock formation and blow it up with dynamite - take several gunslingers and the sheriff with you. You will see a camp with people standing around - when you have the 1000 ransom and a sheriff inside this area the conversation will begin and the ransom delivered.

In the 300/300/30 area stop worrying about your people leaving - stop worrying about feeding them - you need lumber camp / gunslinger inside saloon/ trading post/ sheriff/ and maybe 3 more people. I don't even click on the initial I's until sheriff has killed off the bad guys. I put 30 food in crate asap cause beginning people won't leave even if no food - then i put 300 wood in then 300 gold (via an island treasure) after trading post built. I then sell lumber via trading post for 400.

In the save the bank task - all you need to complete level is 15 people. So I again don't care if they leave I create 12 gunslingers...positioning 3 at upper far right....3 at middle far left....and 6 at lower middle - hiding sheriff by the bank. Then you can worry about building population to 15 as the positioned gunslingers will fend off the bad guys.

The level where you have to get the person back across the river. You encounter a general store with bridges and I never put the sheriff in diguise so i don't have any problem at the end, so as soon as you get to the lower left where you can use a bridge and cross it says end and takes you back to main area.

Now my question. I have found the hidden outhouse screen and the gold tooth screen. At the gold tooth screen it says this is 3rd secret screen. What is the one i haven't found and where is it.

does the fruit on the trees ever come back?

I'm stuck in Littening Bluffs and cant figure out the task:

In the Wong; "find a way up north and destroy the bandits saloon headquaters".

I am looking for the way and trying to go between two posts north west but cant proceed with any guys.

What should I do? or did I miss out on something??

Anybody who completed this task, please help me!!!

John

please help i cant find simon anywhere what do i do

please please help! i can't get the last north townsperson to come to Lightning Bluff. i have all the "advanced" buildings already and whatever. the last that i built was the bank. but this building didn't attract any people form the north! :( am i doing something wrong? that's the only task that's left!!

which mayor is the real mayor the blue one or the red one?

amy you need a sheriffs office

you need the rabbit to get the hole and you need money for that

[b]Hi, For those of you having trouble on Defending the Bank I had the same problem so i restarted the level and made sure that my original sheriff didn't get killed...i pretty much put him way out of the way of the bandits the whole entire time. Then I just hired gunslingers to do the shootin'. I passed the level after i beat all the bandits. Here is a tip, explore the map and pick up every single extra(crates, bushes, trees and treasure chest) and pick up everything that the bandits drop.[/b]

i can't convert my covered wagon into a mining camp, when i press he saw and hammer button it doesnt show anything, plz help!

I am stuck at lighting bluff with no more trees available and a dead gold mine. I see the gold mine in the middleof the river and have built bridges to it but cannot figure out how to use the dang thing !!!help !! how do I get money, wood and food now??

To find the kidnappers, build a bridge to cross the river

To go down a rabbit hole you need a rabbit, explore till you find someone to sell one to you

John use the land clearing thing irration? And then once you destroy the saloon u have to re build the town.

I'm in Hope River. I found a few bushes of berries but I can't find anymore food anywhere and the people are starting to leave due to hunger.

Where can I find more food?

Thank you

If the game won't let you talk to Simon in Lightning Bluff, make you sure you build a bank!

How the BLEEP do I zoom back into the 'map' so that I can play once I zoomed out? I'm playing the ONLINE version if that makes a difference.
*pulling hair out*

Oops. Found it. It's the closed button at the upper right. I figured that closed the whole game.

I am in lighten bluff, My gold dried up, I see another one on a small island, i added a bridge but no room to build another mined, what do I do. I can't add a blacksmith or bank. I am stick.

I need HELP I can`t find the saloon up north and finished up all other tasks how do I get up the rigde??
please help send tips to
ines@jscomm.net

I have both a question and an answer.
Q: How do I get a drunk sobered up?
A: To get a Gunslinger:

Build a saloon, hire somebody there, click on said saloon and click the icon with a gun. Said icon is where the "convert to mining camp" button would be on a wagon camp, or near there.

I have the answer to the person who had the TRAPPE CANYON pro blem here's the solution.First go down from where you started to the first camp then move on in order until you find mayor.Warning there are two mayors I chose the one on the right I think it was right-CHOW

Againt, here's a problem about not being able to find any more of Wong's goons at Lighting Bluff. Also, I can't seem to find the last piece of the map

Thanks in advance.

Kt

uy hi do you know any cheats on westward can you pleas tell me thankz just reply here i will always update thankz....

Any ideas for getting gold quickly? I'm in Lightning Bluff.

If there's no room to build a Gold Mine, build the one that goes directly on top of the vein.

I just need to know how many more tasks for Hope River there are before the next level. After building the Sheriff's Office I go on the task to beat the bandits and I come back to Hope River and have to start all over again. Do I have to complete all tasks before I move on.

Nichole

I can't seem to beat Paradise falls. What do I do?

How am i able to get to the trapped canyon? is my westward-version bugged, so there'd no ! even if i reach the 5000 ransom for the mayor?

guess it's bugged, kaylee allways wants to say something but isnt able to because of an error just like: "there is no person called kylee" and i am not able to rewrite it to get "its not kylee, its kaylee"

Hw can I find a vein to harvest. Please help me

I finished Hope River but on the map there's a location called Chicken Run there that blinks like I didn't go there yet. I don't think I've been there either. Does anyone know how to get there?

What are the secret areas.I found the outhouse and gazebo secrets. please help

I can't seem to get past the part with the Fantastic 6 or something. I have to blow up the house or the rocks, but I don't have any dynimite. And I can't destroy the house when it says TNT. The game says "YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE HOUSE SELECTED" It's really annoying. And all my deputies and gunslingers are dying. Please help ASAP!

you can get the web version at arcadetown!
LOLZ
(but it sucks and is glitchy)

I am stuck on the Lightning Bluff level. I am at the end of the level were I am supposed to destroy the Saloon up north. How do I destroy it? I have tried dynamite. I tried to get the gunslingers to shoot it. Nothing is working. Help. Thanks.

I am stuck in (I think) Lightning Bluff. I'm looking for the map. I have three of the four pieces: from the busted-down house in the lower right, near the train tracks in the upper-right and from behind the train station. If anyone knows where the fourth piece is, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks. =)

i'm stuck:(
i'm at the part where you have a sheriff and two deputies and i have to defeat the bandits. i found the first mayor and he told me he was sending help. i have not recieved any help and my sheriffs and deputies want to leave due to hunger.
what do i do?:(

i'm stuck on turtorial level 2.i cant build a gold mine.please help!

Ok, I'm getting frustrated. I'm in Paradise Falls, and my Train Station got hit by a twister, and now it wont progress...It shows hammers and boards, but the bar is blank. It's been stuck like this for days now! Please help.

Has anyone ever answered about the third secret level? It sounds like there might be one called 'chicken run'. I rescued a chicken once (i've finished the game several times now) but there were no extra levels around that I could find.

I've been playing this off and on for a few weeks. I liked the game alright despite the ridiculously cumbersome interface. But I've gotten to the Defend the Bank scenario and I've got a population of 30 and it just won't end. I'm tired from just dragging my gunslingers around chasing bandit after bandit. How can I end this? I don't know. I'm afraid I'm going to have to give up on this game. I can't take it anymore. It sounds like the buggy game & annoying navigation will just get worse/more cumbersome. So to the makers of the game. Thanks for wasting my night. Study a real interface before you design again.

why can't i get enough food for the hope river refugees?

I am in Wong Way (the part off of Lightning Bluff where you have to dress like a bandit and kill all the bandits (who are dressed like deputies) and then you get to the north and there's a sheriff and a own hall). I killed all the bandits (deputies), but NOW WHAT?

Please help! What do I do now, I've resarted the game twice now and went through all the levels and keep getting stuck on this. I also got a message that someone else mentioned "Character non existant" or something like that, and it says "Deputy" or something.

Thanks,
Erin

I need help with Westward II. I have completed all quests presented except, defeating the Mad Russian. I've defeated all the bandits, outposts, etc. that I can find. I haven't figured out how to defeat the Russian. I've upgraded guns and bought all the gunslingers I can. Now, I've run out of gold and lumber. I'm having to trade food SLOWLY to keep rebuying Gunslingers, sheriffs, and deputies. What can I do to beat this guy?

[Edit: Please post your questions for Westward 2 on the Westward II review page. You might actually find the answer you need there, too. Thank you! -Jay]

Help, how do I get North in lightning bluff? I have seen 10 people asking but nobody answers. Please guys, some seem to be a lot further ahead, just leave a coment on how you got there.

Paradise Falls - Russian Town
I've killed all of the bandits (around the bandit camps, up in the northeast corner by the treasure, and the ones up on the ridge northeast of the mine) as far as I can tell, have 2 sheriffs still alive (+2 gunslingers). Have been by the mine w/ no result, the entire map is clear...most tips say to interact w/ some guy to get dynamite but none of the characters have the exclamation point. I've played the level a few times, started from the beginning, looked everywhere...what do I need to do to talk to the dynamite guy? Thanks for any help.
