A place to speculate and post theories on what works and what doesn't work as we solve cases, travel and explore.

My hunts have almost all been cities pretty close together. Last time I went Delhi to Shanghai to London to NY

I've never had a hunt where the next city HASN'T been the maximum farthest distance possible. (shrugs)

Just went from NY to London, I think it's random.

To be honest, I think it is random. I have moved from shanghai to delhi, and new york to london, but I have also had to move from new york to delhi (which is really anoying when you have only 3 cases left in the day!)

I have noticed one thing. When you ask a townie if they know anything about the case you're on, and get a "Joe Bloggs thinks he knows who the murderer is" reply, check their alibi. If it is false, then check against all the evidence relating to said suspect, and I think you may be in for a pleasant surprise.

This is not guaranteed obviously, but it has worked for me more often than not. I have only tried on AI cases, where you get 2 replies from townies.

I also had AVH which were really close together (each time only 2 cases for travel). So I guess its random.

NEW QUESTION/IDEA

There are only three townies that will give up information on suspects (think they know or no nothings) regardless of how many WE there may be out there.

Has anyone ever seen more than three? I know there can be less but how about more?

I'm pretty sure on a few rare occasions I've been able to get 4 answers from townies. Can't back this claim up, however... but I'll give it a shot while doing cases today.

I had one once with 5, but that was on Hard.

As a bored math major, I have determined that villain hunts will cost you a total of either 7,8,10 or 11 cases for travel. This does not include any effect from kits (take away 3 from each total) nor the trip down from Shangri La. Also, whichever trip length you get after your first city, you will get as your last trip length. So if you go from New York to London first (cost of 2 cases), the final leg of the trip will also cost you 2 cases with the middle leg costing either 3 or 4.

As for townie hints, I have had more than 3 but I'm fairly certain that was at the Incredibly Hard level or lower. I've never had anything other than 2 or 3 on AI cases.

sorry must not have been clear.

Not questions answered but how many townies will give you info that someone knows/does not know. I had thought up until now that the most would be three hints. Now if there can be more than 3 WE does that mean you can get more than 3 hints?
