''' Well, I finally made it – 70x70! '''

I decided to put more effort into expanding my village instead of buying stores and climbing levels; so, here I am in level 34.





I like the approach that I took because it’s given me the room to organize my village and fill in the gaps as I progressed, instead of finding spots for purchases and having everything higgledy-piggledy (IMO – no offense intended).



Also, I’m much more interested in collecting Dinos than stores – should be obvious, since I only keep about a dozen stores in my village. I really haven’t found that this has kept me from progressing. I’ve tried to balance my resources to my stores and choose stores that maximize their returns … and look nice ;- )



I was lucky because my arrival coincided with the storage sale and I was able to buy my giant warehouse for  51 crystals ! Instead of buying the crane warehouse too, I decided to buy the Pirate (for half price) and figured that I could probably buy the crane later if I needed the extra space.



One final thought is that because I arrived at this expansion at a in the 30s, I didn’t have a lot of warehouses to toss or be forced to buy them earlier.



I wasted a couple hours and put my village together into one screen – PitB, but it’s nice to be able to look at it all at once.



Happy day!
