I'd like to throw out an alert to all newbies:

I just unlocked (as I thought) a favour in New York (the Priest told me the Butcher had work for me), but since I was planning to go to Delhi I figured logically that I'd have a favour available there too since after all I had solved my cases like a good boy to get my favour. So I traveled to Delhi. No favour. "Damn" I thought. "I must go back to New York to solve the favour there obviously". So I went back to NY. No favour. Waste of 8000 (so don't you whine about the 500 Larry wants for showing you Big Lucy's) and eight turns.

>:(

Yeah no. You have to do FOUR new cases once you forfeit your available favour by traveling. Not three.

Yes, not playing a favor before traveling is the same as an unsuccessfuly favor, you will need four instead of the normal three. that beigng said. If you were to do the favor, sovle 2 more cases and then travel, you will only need one more case done in the destinaation city to get the next favor.
