When a villain retreats to another city, what do you do if you don't have the money to travel there and you're not in an agency so nobody can lend you money? Since you can't do any cases when you're in the first one. I was fortunate to have some unneeded equipment in my apartment to sell for the ticket, but what about next time?

You are all missing the point, allow me to try and explain it again.

You successfully find the villain in London, he is hiding out at the barber shop, you go and find him there and he takes off to New York. You all with me so far?

You need to follow him to new york, but when you get to the docks, you realize that you don't have enough money to make the trip. Therefore, the villain is in New York, you are in London.

How can you fail the hunt, if you are not in a city to take a wild guess at finding him?

Of course all of this can be avoided if you simply take squirrels suggestion and make sure you have plenty of money before going. I remember when I started villain hunting, I always had at least $50k before starting.

I understand what you are saying, Ctown. And here is the irony: You sold some of your gears, managed to travel to NY and randomly accused a townie. And surprise, surprise you accused the right townie! Now it's off to your next city. ;)

Ok, just a scenario that might just happen. You have two options: Sell some of your gears so that you can travel or join an agency so that they can help you. But bottom line, have enough cash with you before doing a villain hunt, because you have to spend a lot from bribing to travelling.

I didn't think you could join an agency half way through a hunt.

And too bad if you were already naked when you arrived at the London docks. Then you are really stuck!

And just a note. I started with over $200K and finished with less than 16K and 2 FA hanging over my head! I'm not doing another VH til I have $1,000,000.

yeah there's nothing from stopping clint from join an agency half away through and hoping on the charity of strangers, or if he has an alt. with money joining as well so he cold use the 'send to team mate option'... oh and I got what you meant ctown, I even got what Clint meant, I just didn't what to to write at the time 'you're screwed'. :D
