So I built this beautification factory or whatever and decided to send my troops into it as I thought they'd just pay tax. They came out looking like flowery idiots! Does anyone know if i can get them to go back to their normal look?
Also, how do i destroy big rocks? Cant seem to find the right way in sunflower plains to get to the boss.

I was also stuck in that area not progressing, but you have to do the Knight gaurdian next to the stone temples and then you can also do the Owl guardian in the forest, which unlocks 2 different districts.
They will both be in Howsers suggested missions, if they're not there just rest for a day or 2 or do some of the missions in the Onii grounds until a couple of days pass.

Lots of hours poured into this game.
One main complaint: the controls.
This is essentialy a Gamecube game mapped onto the wii controller, while the recent Pikmin port showed how awesomely the pointer tech can be applied to strategy games.
Major opportunity lost imo, and the battles could be so much more enjoyable if it was done this way.
Also, do your minions seem to get stuck on bridges and ladders some times? I throw them, Pikmin style, and rush so they don't remain stuck on lower levels.

The controls could definitely use some work, troops get stuck behind stuff all the time and selecting the guys you want is a pain too, sometimes you scroll too fast and they end up at the back of the line again. I wish the troops you send out would go to the frontline instead of to the back of the line, that would save me a lot of grief.Annoying Old Party Man said:
Question to all people who defeated the first three kings:
I went through the bones tunnel. From where I'm able to go to three kingdoms:
1) I went down to the labyrinth, but there was no way through. A hedge looked quiet suspicious, but there was no way through it.
2) After that I went to the TV kingdom. I got to the boss fight, but what the fuck? Where is the boss? I died after a while :/

Not sure what to tell you, I was able to find my way through there without much problems, there are some semi-obscured places you can go through the hedge, you probably just missed one.
2)
Did you bring a merchant? He will find holes for you to dig which correspond to countries and then just look at the scrolling text and pick the right country. If chosen correctly, the boss will pop up and you can do some damage. Just repeat a few times and he's toast. Beware of false directions though, especially the very last one, don't be too quick to dig.
/edit: excuse the dp.

There are walls that dance a little, a wiggle here and there. You have to hit them. In case you don't know you can use the 'c' button on the nunchuck to make the king hit things, does very little damage but you do need to use it about ten steps after the maze....
2) has already been answered!

I think you need at least one for a certain boss battle, too.

They'll give you back the investment and then some over the course of the game, yes. It's definitely a long-term investment, though.Citizen K said:

A one point in the game (for me it was when my entire Kingdom was developed, almost right at the end of the game) a Carefree adult will ask for an audition with you, then he'll mention something strange happening at midnight at MagicLand. Obviously go there and he'll appear. Talk to him to recruit him.
I just finished the game (29 hours). All in all just a fantastic game, very well thought through, funny as hell and very original. I think I will regard it as a classic in a few years.
Oh and just a little tip for the final battle:
bring one farmer and the rest attack dudes, other jobs not required (I had all Hardened grunts). If you bring the wrong team (like I did the first time) and want to reset the game, be prepared to do a long sequence over again. Very annoying
Defeated the first three kings, on a roll now, geebus, long game is long, tons to collect.
Shishkebaboob really is easy indeed when I just keep sending out 23 people out into the playing field. And I do breathe more easily now that I know everybody who falls during a boss battle will wash ashore.

I'm watching my brother play that very battle right this moment.Oxx said:
Since you'll be digging a lot, recruit enough farmers and at least one merchant. Now the gimmick of this particular battle is to actually find TV Dinnah on the map, as you might have noticed. Basic geographical knowledge is absolutely vital.
At the start of each phase, he'll show some flags at the bottom of the screen which eliminates most of the possibilities where he could be hiding. If you recognise the countries, send your merchants to the appropriate dots on the world map. All the countries he had hinted at earlier will have flagpoles sticking out of them. Do not send your farmers to do their thing at the first flag you find though. What you need to do is wait for the text at the bottom to reveal which of the flagged countries he is actually in. Be warned that after a few phases he'll try to deceive you by just listing trivia of unrelated countries. Once you're sure of which country he's talking about, let your farmers do their thing. If you've dug into the correct country, you'll be face to face with the king. Chose of the wrong country or took too long to answer, you'll get a punishment 'program.'
Since the phase you can attack him in is rather short, don't waste time by letting weak units touch him. Send hardened grunts, preferably armed to the teeth with power-up items, to bash his skull in. He should go down in only a few turns.
Now I've been told you don't need a merchant if you're playing on the lowest difficulty setting, since every single one of the classes will be able to find the holes. However I'm afraid I can't confirm that myself.

Hearing all this talk about around 30+ hours playtime - it'll take me weeks or probably months to finish this one :lol .
Man I suck. I still cant find the 2nd boss! I'm in sunflower plains but cant find the boss. There is a section I can see but cant find a way in as its all fenced off. Someone mentioned building a bridge earlier, I built it but it and went across but it goes to the next section I think, melon patch or something. Help!

Did you read the sign just outside of said tunnel?

Is that a contract side quest or do you mean a proper 'king' boss?Citizen K said:
Because to get to the next king you need to cross over and beyond the bridge and the melon patch. You'll find a path leading to the fenced off area in the sunflower plains later on.
