Circus Empire
Version 0.72
This game is similar to all other tycoon games in that you are attempting to
create a product that the sim people will want to purchase and from those
purchases make money. The game does have the nice feature of being able to
watch the shows you have created, but in general most of the game is played
in the bird's eye mode while planning shows out and waiting for your
performers to reach certain skill levels.

Section I – Game basics
Circus Empire has a rather basic concept. You will be in charge of a circus
show and attempting to make it successful. You accomplish this by hiring
performers, training them to do tricks and then setting up the sequence of
tricks they will perform in the show. You are limited by the energy and
stress resistance of your performers as every trick they perform will take
energy and put stress on them. Should they exceed their ability to handle
this they will fail the truck during the show, which angers the audience.
You also have to upkeep the area around the circus tent, by building lodging
for your performers and concession stalls to provide food and gifts for the
people who attend. You also need to maintain a parklike atmosphere, by
putting in trees and rest areas.
Section II – Game format
The main part of the game is played in "bird's eye view. In this view you
are looking down on your circus from above. You can use the mouse wheel to
change the angle from about a 45 degree one to looking directly down from
overhead. The screen has a timeclock on the upper right part of the screen.
This clock effectively divides each day unto 6 sections
0:00-7:00 – This is uaually run at 3X normal speed and is a cool down time
when you are not supposed to build. However all buttons work. At this time
all performers are at the stress and energy levels they finished the previous
day with.
07:00 – Buddy will report on any increases in number of stars. Also any
performers who are sulking are reported at this time. You then switch to the
daily plan screen where you can plan for the day. The evenings rest also
occurs and you'll see your performers starting energy and stress levels for
the day. When you exit the daily plan time will resume at the speed you have
usually been running the days at.
12:00 – At this time buddy appears and reports on the success or failure of
any training occurring during the morning period. The morning period is one
where no show can occur so performers will either be training or resting
during this period.
17:00 – if you have an afternoon show going the show report screen will open
and show the results for that show. Otherwise this works like the morning
session
23:00 – the evening show completes and the show report appears. If you have
no evening show and no training nothing happaens.
B) Controls
The game is rather intuitive and every screen can be accessed by 1-2 mouse
clicks. Across the bottom of the screen are the following buttons (left to
right)
Main Menu (F10) – gets to save screen and load screen.
Daily Plan – where you plan training, you can create shows and check on
performers from this screen as well
Build – for building all buildings and planting trees.
Sidewalk – all buildings must be connected by paths to work, click on this
symbol to enter the path build mode. (paths cost nothing to build)
Bulldozer – remove unwanted buildings and trees.
A circle showing the current active building.
Plan show/Hire performers - this is only for the big top (plan show) or
managers office (hire) otherwise this spot will be empty.
Watch show/Employees – again just for Big top (watch show) and mangers office
(employees)
Details – for most buildings this shows the upkeep costs as well as any
revenues. For housing buildings it will also show a list of current
inhabitants and a symbol of a person moving suitcases next to each name.
Click on this symbol and you can move the performer to a new building. The
bigtop and managers office get additional options.
Upgrade – if the building can be upgraded, this will show the price. Most
housing, the managers office and the big top can be upgraded.
In the bottom right corner is a picture of Buddy (your talking dog helper)
which you can click on to get some generic help on moving the camera.
Also if you have an active task it will appear as a sealed envelope right
above Buddy. You can click on it to review the task or hit F2.
C) Daily Plan information
This is probably the screen you'll visit the most. Every day at 07:00
Buddy appears to report on any performers who have increased by .5 stars, and
also will report if any performers are having a bad day. (some performers
have special rules which will cause them to refuse to work or have increased
stress at the start of the day.) Next the Daily Plan screen opens which will
allow you to plan the day for all your performers.
The format of the Daily Plan is rather basic. There are 4 tabs at the top.
(Activities, Salary % Care, Manager Actions and My Partner) Each page has
specific uses.
Activities: On this screen you can see what your performers are doing for
the day. This screen has 5 columns. Performer, Happiness/Energy/Stress, AM
Activity, PM Activity, Evening.
Performer - this will have a picture of the artist, their name, and their
star rating. I can be sorted by type, name or rating.
H/E/S – This column has a smiley face to show the mood of the performer and
then shows the performers current energy and stress using a current/max
template. Use this to determine if your performers need a break, or perhaps
should have their current show schedule reduced. Low current energy or high
current stress is a good signal that the performer needs a rest.
Time periods – all 3 of these work somewhat the same. Each period has 3
options you can control, although only 2 can be accessed from this screen.
The options are Rest, Train, or Perform. Sometimes an artist will be upset
or injured which you cannot change. The options are color coded. Training
of any kind is pink, rest is a tan, and any other selection will be in grey.
(performing is a grey button with a bigtop symbol in the center.)
You can click on any non-grey button to pull up an option menu, this allows
you to select rest or training. There are various degrees of rest with the
more advanced versions returning a higher percentages of energy and stress.
Training – Training is an important part of Circus empire. When a performer
is hired they will only know a few tricks, and audiences get bored of seeing
the same tricks over and over. Also as performers get better they become
capable of performing more tricks. However, they need to practice the tricks
and learn to perform them in a show. Also a trick that isn't being used will
slowly be forgotten. This forgetting occurs rather quickly at low star
levels, but slows considerably once a performer has reached 5 star.
When you click in any "open" (non-grey) time period for an artist a new
screen will open. It gives the option to "train", "Rest" or "Repeat"
If you select "Train" the rest of the screen will fill with buttons
indicating all the tricks this performer can currently learn, along with how
well learned they are (indicated by a bar at the bottom of the trick picture,
any white in the bar indicates that the trick is not fully learned. A trick
must be learned to at least 50% to use). Clicking on a trick will cause the
performer to practice that trick during that time period until you change the
selection.
Rest allows you to make the performer rest during that period. There are
higher forms of resting. (see Section X)
The other selection is "Repeat" A performer instructed to repeat will
practice tricks that are not learned to 100%. This helps keep tricks you
don't use often at 100%.
Note: Tamers do not train like other performers. Instead if any animal is
asked to train during a time period, sn available trainer will be allocated
to conduct the training. If no trainer is available, you will not be allowed
to train the animal during that period. (trying to train an animal while a
show is going on can be difficult unless you keep spare trainers around.)
Note: Remember that training of any kind takes energy and stress. If a
performer is already tired or has low levels of either of these stats you'll
either want to have them rest after a training period, or keep them working
in shows to gain experience and increase their stats before working to learn
difficult new tricks.
Section III – Performer types
So far I have found the following performer types.
Artist – Men who perform in the shows. They usually have a combination of
trampoline and springboard tricks as their top solo stunts. All of the ones
I have used eventually learned a number of 2 person tricks, that can be
performed with either a male or a female artist.
Ali, Abdul, Buzz, Hakim, Pedro, Patrick, Spyro
Female Artist – Very similar to the men, but they add tricks on horseback to
the mix as well as tricks where they spin hoops. Surprisingly most of the
female artists tend to have much better stress resistance than some of the
male artists.
Alice, Ariana, Bonnie, Diana, Janet, Meggie, Salma
Young Artist – basically a child born to one of the female artists in your
show. (your wife, if you marry one of the performers will give birth to 2
children over time.) They must perform with an adult artist watching over
their tricks and have a rather limited trick set, but they are useful and
usually not very demanding.
Male: Oliver, Sami
Female: Donna, Nadia
Tamer – Your animal trainers. They are required if you want animals to learn
tricks. (although most artists can work with some animals during a show.)
They do not learn tricks on their own. However, they usually have vet and
keeper skills at a low level which they will use to help the circus, and
which can be lifesavers early on.
Aida, Aika, Aziz, Luloah, Nazir, Naomi, Pauli, Salvatore, Svetlana, Yvette
Clown – The funny men who do silly tricks. They tend to have rather low
energy and stress compared to other human performers. However, they are
mostly for breaking up the show and changing the pace/tone. At higher levels
they can work in pairs, or with monkeys/bears.
Ben, Kiwi, Pepe, Rashid, Rufi, Rusty
Bear – a trained bear for the show. They are capable of learning a
combination of funny and thrilling tricks as well as learning to ride
motorcycles around the ring. Some can be very demanding when it comes to
care.
Barney, Bizzy, Paddy, Tao, Twinkie
Horses – Strong and uncomplaining, horses are solid performers and usually
can learn a good variety of tricks. Unfortunately some of them do become
rather demanding in regards to the care they expect which can make them
expensive to keep.
Jasper, Raider, Silky, Speedy, Spike
Monkeys – They performers are great for putting in shows for children as they
have lots of fun tricks they can learn, but they tend to be low energy and
stress which makes them very difficult to train. They usually have very low
care requirements.
Cutie, Ebi, Juliet, Jessie, Rubi
Seals – They are unlocked rather late in the campaigns. So far Dino has been
decent, but his low initial stats made training and showing him difficult.
Bob, Dino
Elephants – These great beasts demand a lot of care and seem to be one of the
more frustrating performers. A good one can learn a great variety of tricks
that impress people, but the number of days off they took really got to me.
Male: Bingo, Mambo
Female : Bina, Sheba
Kid: Solo
Camels – low stress resistance and a very limited trick set makes these one
of the animals I don't care to use. However, they are required to complete
several tasks during the Orient campaign
Salim, Sugar, Suni
Dogs – the only dog performers I've encountered is the "Alley Dogs" who were
dependable and skilled.
Alley Dogs
Lion – Stress can be a problem with these performers, but they have some
tricks that thrill the crowd.
Male: Dante, Sting, Toby
Female: Inga
Cub: Chico
Dolphin – Water performers, they are required in the America campaign and
have a number of good tricks, but definitely suffer from low stamina.
Male: Akamu, Holeka, Kulo, Wikoli
Female: Nellie
Section IV - Performers:
Abdul – "Animal Lover" – Artist
Abdul like most performers tends to forget tricks very quickly at low level.
He has a lot of 2 artist tricks, and will need a trained partner to be used
well. However he has a huge trickbook once you get him to high level. He
also has great stats and levels quickly. Definitely a star performer
Special Rules: reduces stress of horses and camels. Also produces 250 vet
points.

Alice – "Patient Listener" - Female Artist
Alice is one of the early Female performers you can gain and one of the
more dependable from the start. She can do horse tricks as well as tricks
with a partner artist, but does not learn trapeze tricks or many high scoring
solo tricks.
Special Rules: Alice will use +1 energy, but gain –1 stress when performing
slow tricks.

Ariana – "Action Woman" – Female Artist
Ariana is a high energy performed and very versatile once she gets some
experience. She also can work with animals as a trainer which makes her very
useful when your full time tamers are sick or injured. Her energy and stress
levels are incredible at high star levels.
Special Rules: Ariana will cause an animal to use –1 energy if she acts as
the tamer.

Aziz – "The Bedouin" – Tamer
Poor starting stats, but his bonus does make him useful if you are doing a
show with a lot of horses and camels. I tend to use him when I have ladies
doing complex tricks on the back of a horse and those tend to put a lot of
stress on the horse. He never gets to the level of the 4 european tamers
though.
Special Rules: Reduces the energy and stress on horses and camels by 1 each
if he performs with them.

Ben - "Giggler" – Clown
Ben is a great clown to have. He has a high ability to handle stress and
learns tricks quickly. Unfortunately he specializes in doing tricks with a
partner early on, so you'll need to hire at least 2 clowns. He gains the
ability to work with monkeys starting at 3.5 stars
Special Rule: +2 fun points from children when he performs, -1 art for any
trick he performs and he has a +1 stress penalty if the trick involves
acrobatic skill.

Bingo – "Sluggish Elephant" – Elephant
He starts out as a very weak performer and one that often refuses to
perform. I haven't gotten him up to max stars though, so I cannot say if he
is always weak.
Special Rules: Bingo takes double energy and stress to train, he also has a
destructive streak when unhappy.

Bizzy – "Bear – Clown" – Bear
Bizzy is a good performer, but at low levels will forget tricks about as
fast as you can train them back up. A lower than optimum stress and energy
level makes Bizzy at beast a part time performer.
Special Rules: Bizzy wants to be a clown and will get –1 stress when the
trick is funny, however Bizzy doesn't like working with other bears and will
take a +2 stress penalty if performing with a bear. Also at about 4 stars
Bizzy starts becoming rather demanding about food, and will be unhappy unless
you pay the extra for higher grade food.

His stats were nothing to be too impressed with at any point in his
development, but with his bonus this is a very good performer to have. You
do have to make sure you don't overwork him.
Special Rules: +2 impression (kids only). All young artists get a –10%
stress bonus. Can sometimes talk a performer out of quiting.

Child of Inga and a male lion he's a cute cub. Sadly like any child he has
lousy stats to start.
Special Rules: +2 cute points on every trick. (women and children only)/ If
happy all performers recover an extra 2 stress points, if unhappy all
performers will get +1 stress. He is also popular with guests and firing him
will cause a 20% drop in the popularity of your circus.

Dante – "Stubborn Lion – Lion
Dante is the first lion available in the campaign and can be a bit
frustrating. He has extremely low stress levels and becomes hard to train
and have perform. This is one character who will never be good doing 2 shows
in a day.
Special Rules: Dante will recover stress faster if there are other lions in
the enclosure with him.

Diana – "Thinker" – Female Artist
Diana is a great solo artist and easily one of the better overall
performers. However, she doesn't like working with others. She lacks

her daughter is an asset.

will never again bother you.
Task 54: you have 20 days to save up the $200,000 to pay Derango. (warning,
from now on there will be a series of high cost tasks. Its best to start
saving if you have not already been doing so.)
Dialogue: Buddy reports that all the money from the cash register for the day
has been stolen, it appears to have been Derango's two thugs.
Dialogue: When you pay Derango, he gives some veiled threats about how an
"arrangement" with him might be good for you.
New effects are available for purchase
Circus is at 4.5 stars

destroyed. Interestingly enough Derango shows up tries to pretend he didn't
do it at first, but one of his henchmen admits that they destroyed them.
Task 55: you have to rebuild all of your stalls and toilets.
Dialogue: After you finish the rebuild you talk to Buddy about the fact that
the current mayor protects Derango. Buddy mentions that the mayor has
competition in the next election and suggests that you talk to his opponent.
Dialogue: Meeting with the mayors opponent in the election. He reveals that
he is willing to take down Derango, but that his campaign lacks money. You
need to run a series of shows and give the money to him for the campaign. He
will make sure the shows are sold out.

her return. You have 30 days to raise the money to pay him. (This event is
why I suggest you save a lot of money early on.)

The challenger tells you that you have to get the money first and then he
will arrest Derango.

tricks of your circus.
-------- Congrats you have finished Europe
Orient
Dialogue: Shows you talking about finding a perfect place for your circus in
a small country in the Middle East. Buddy then interrupts, reminding you
that you have no performers.
Task 1: Build Homes, Hire performers and create an opening show with at
least 3 performers.
At this point you can move about your new circus. You have a managers
office, and a big top as well as $500,000. If you married one of the female
performers during the Europe tour you also have a family dwelling where you
wife and son will be living. They will not need to be hired.
Your bigtop is basic. All the upgrades you purchased in Europe, stay in
Europe.
New Performers are available here. (in addition to all your workers from

circus being near.

Circus is at 0.5 stars
Unofficial Task: Buddy tells you that you should use the next 2 weeks to
improve your cash position as surely you'll need money in the future. (Buddy
isn't kidding, there will be a period where you go 40 days with almost no
audience which means almost no money. A large bank account will be critical
to get through this period)
New Performer is available: (Silky the Horse)
Dialogue: You are talking about how nice things are, but Buddy is much more
cynical about what might happen in the future.

Dialogue: The vizier is even more upset because your circus is successful.
He is convinced that he must drive away your customers so that the circus
dies out.
Circus is now at 1 star
Dialogue: Buddy is saying that the circus is no longer being attended.
(this starts the attendance drought. For a long time you will never get more
than 35 people to come see the show, your circus will lose a lot of money
during this period.)
Task 11: in 7 days you must create a different show every night, each with
at least 5 artist or animals and 30 tricks total. Impression should not be
less than 2300. (note this is an all or failure task. Should you fail to
get the 2300 impression at any time during the 7 days you fail the task and
the game will offer to let you reload from the start of the event. Hopefully
you have the performers to get through this, after this event I recommend
cutting back to the bare minumum you need to do 2 smaller shows a day to save
money.)
New performer is available for hire (Speedy the Horse, Rubi the monkey)
Dialogue: about a week after finishing the task attendance is still down.
You and Buddy talk about why. Buddy suggests more advertising.
Task 12: throw a parade, and then start an advertising campaign.
Dialogue: you finally meet the Vizier. He demands to collect the sultan's
taxes. When you demand to see proof that he represents the sultan, the
Vizier throws a fit. He demands $100,000 in tax and then gives you 30 days
to get it. (attendance continues to be very low, by this time I'd cut my
performer roster down to Patrick, Ben, Barney, Silky, Twinkie, Yvette,
Ariana, Alice, Oliver and Nadia)
Task 13: Pay $100,000 in 30 days.
Dialogue: Call from your Uncle. You tell him about your trouble with the
show and he will send $50,000. (this occurs when you have 15 days to go in
the 30 days.)
Dialogue: when the thirty days are over the Vizier, Jaffer comes to collect
the tax. He isn't happy that you have managed to pay this tax.
Dialogue: You talk to Buddy about how you aren't getting an audience and are
losing money rapidly.
Task 14: don't let your cash go below $0,00 for the next 14 days.
Dialogue: You and Buddy talk about the fact that you have no audience, but

there is someone you can see to talk about the poor attendance.
Dialogue: You meet a new person who finally tells you that the Vizier is
ordering people to stay away from your circus, telling them that your shows
are simple and that you have few animals. This man promises to find you some
new local artists to help attract more people to watch the show.
New Performers become available: (Abdul, Ali, Hakim the artists, Rashid the
clown, and Bingo the Elephant)
Task 15: Hire at least 2 local artists and put them in a show where the

Dialogue: after a conversation with the man who helped you he suggests a show
with Elephants.
Task 16: You need a show with elephants where elephants perform 10 tricks.
(during this time your max attendance is 295, half the max of 590 for the
circus tent.)
Dialogue: Hassan suggests a free show for the poor kids in town. You love
the idea and suggest that you can put together a superb show for the kids.
Task 17: do an afternoon show for the kids. It must be funny and with
animals. There must be at least 5 animals and 8 tricks with clowns. (these
shows get about 37 kids in attendance and almost no money. )
Dialogue: You talk to Hassan who suggests a march through town, and then
reveals that he could be in a lot of trouble if the Vizier figures out that
he helped you.
Task 18: Start an ad campaign for one of your elephants and throw a parade
through the town. (I suggest Mambo for the campaign, he has good stamina and
can do 2 shows a day for the week the campaign runs.)
Dialogue: Buddy tells you that the elephants created a disaster during the
latest parade. The cost is going to be $15,000 to pay for all the damage.
Task 19: Pay the $15,000 for the damage caused by the elephants
Dialogue: Hassan tells you that everyone is talking about your circus after
the elephant's antics the previous day.

tricks.
Dialogue: you congratulate Aziz for his work with the camels. He says he
can do a show with 3 camels.
Task 21: Hire a third camel and do a show with 3 camels in the circle. They
must finish at least three whole circles. (this means 11 tricks per camel
during the circle run, however just having a camel run in a circle 3 times
counts, so this task isn't really more difficult than the one before.)
Dialogue: a local bigwig shows up, he wants some help. It turns out his 2
wives have pets, but one is a bear who has become a lot of trouble. However,
he is uncertain which pet to see because he doesn't want to anger his wives.
Task 22: Create a superb animal show. It must contain at least 5 animals
and leave an impression of 2500 points or more. (note, this is a private
show with attendance of 3)
Dialogue: The sheikh will show up and offer you the bear, saying that his
wife's loved the show, and agreed to give you the bear. He's thrilled
because his wife's never before agreed on anything. He also gives you
$20,000 as a reward for the show. (Paddy the bear is received as a gift)
Task 23: What about training the bear (Paddy) and putting him in a show
where he performs at least 5 different tricks.
Dialogue: The Sheikh and his wives were greatly impressed by all the tricks
Paddy has learned and he gives you $50,000 as a reward for the hard work.

more animals together. You end up talking about having more elephants in the
ring.
Task 25: create a show with at least 2 male elephants, elephant ladies or

Task 26: People like circle tricks. Now create a show with at least 3 horses

Dialogue: a traveling caravan master shows up and has an offer for you. He
has found a young lion during his journeys, but is having trouble keeping
him. He is willing to let you have the lion, but you must show him a great
show with lions. He also wants a show with camels.
Task 28: You must create a show with 3 lions or lionesses. The show should
also have 3 camels who do at least 2 circles (7 tricks) and at least 20
tricks.
Dialogue: if the show meets the requirements you'll be given the lion by a
grateful man. (if you don't have cage space you'll have to quickly build a
new cage.
Buddy then tells you "Superb, we have made it, Peter" Now we must collect
enough experience points and advance forward."
(I never saw the exact requirement for this task as I immediately was told I
completed it while working on the walkthrough.)

Circus is now 3 Star
Dialogue: Salma turns up pregnant, but the father has disappeared. She is
ready to leave because she will no longer be "useful." You insist that she
stay.
Task: Build a family house for Salma and move her there. (Salma disappears
from your performer roster at this time. You can move her to the family
house, but there are no other interactions available.)
New performer is available for hire: (Luloah the tamer)
Buddy tells you that Salma is sad that she can't perform, so he is going to
teach her to care for the animals.
Dialogue: Buddy tells you that Salma's son, Sami is ready to start training,
but that he is very sad because he believes his mother doesn't love him. When
you protest he replies that Salma is also very sad.
Dialogue: You have a talk with Salma about her depression. She only sees
that she isn't performing and doesn't understand that perhaps she can still
perform. You try to both cheer her up and remind her that she can still be
involved.
Task 29: Teach Sami at least 5 tricks and create a successful show with him
and Salma together (Salma reappears in your performer roster at this time.)
Dialogue: You talk to Salma and she's realized that Sami is something
special. Sami joins the conversation and Salma opens up to him and talks
about her father and grandfather. Buddy then tries to drag you away.
Dialogue: The vizier Jaffer goes and talks to the sultan. He complains that
a single mother is acting in the circus. He demands that the circus be
closed. The sultan instead commands that you be summoned. The sultan is a
bit unhappy with you for letting her perform. You defend Salma and make it
clear that you will protect Salma and her son. Finally the sultan demands a
show with Salma and her son.
Task 30: Sami has to perform at least 10 flawless tricks and Salma 10
flawless tricks. The whole show needs an impression of at least 1500.
New Music Tracks available
New Effects available
New Fanfares available
Circus is now 3.5 stars
New Performer is available for hire. (Aida the tamer, Stella the lioness)
Dialogue: The sultan agrees that Salma and Sami deserve protection. The
vizier claims that you can only do one show, and you reply that you can do a
different show every day. So the Sultan says he is willing to come for 7
days for you to prove your claim.
Task 31: every evening for 7 days you must do a whole new show, absolutely
flawlessly (no failures) with every show having an impression of at least
3000 points. (The technique I uxed to complete this was basically a brute
force method. I created a rather long show with most of my best tricks, so
that I drove the impression well above 3000 and then made minor changes every
day. The game seems to accept any change to a show as being a "new" show,
although I usually changed 10-20 different tricks)
Dialogue: The sultan is thrilled by the shows, and says next time he will
invite the princess. He then says that he has meetings planned with foreign
investors and he shall invite them to come to your circus. You will be
expected to customize shows for them. Jaffar the Vizier is upset.
Dialogue: Jaffar shows up and tells you that the Sultan sends you a message
that he's bringing a group of businessmen to see the show. You need at least
4 female artists who perform a minimum of 20 tricks. He says you'll lose
your head if you fail.
Task 32: Make a show with at least 4 female artists performing at least 20
tricks.
Dialogue: Jaffar appears again and is openly upset that you succeeded last
time. This time you need a world class thrilling show with no mistakes.
Buddy makes a comment and Jaffar gets upset about the talking dog. (he'd
complained before.)
Task 33: Make a show with tricks totaling at least 300 thrill points.
Dialogue: Jaffar shows up with a message from the palace. He tells you that
the investors wifes want to see a pleasing show. It has to have 200 cute
points.
Task 34: create a show with 200 cute points.
Dialogue: Jaffar shows up and once again is upset. He reports that the
foreign investors want to see a show with female artists and animals. He's
upset about this idea.
Task 35: create a show with at least 4 femals artists and 5 different
animals.
New Effects are available
Circus is now 4.0 Star
Dialogue: The vizier tells the sultan that his favorite horse is ill and
should be sold immediately. He then reports that there isn't enough money to
send the animal to an animal hospital. The sultan then says that the horse
should be give to you to be cured. If you fail you will be expelled.
Task 36: a very ill horse has been provided by the palace. He starts with
5,000 points of wounds and will gain another 100 per day. If he reaches
6,000 he dies. You have 14 days to cure him.
Dialogue: the Sultan is thrilled that you cured his favorite horse, and then
asks if you can train the horse. The vizier is convinced you can't do it
without breaking the horse's spirit.
Task 37: Train Spike to perform at least 5 tricks flawlessly, it can be any
trick. You have 40 days to do it.
Dialogue: the Sultan is thrilled to see that Spike is doing well and gives
you the horse. The Vizier is less than thrilled, but the Sultan is adamant.
Dialogue: the Vizier shows up and says his master sent him. When Buddy
comments the Vizier gets upset. Once you calm him down he reports that a
group of foreign investors want to see an exotic show.
Task 38: Create a show with at least 300 eXotic points
Dialogue: You greet the vizier asking what new requirement he has. The
vizier tells you that the investors want to see a flashy and dramatic show.
After that Buddy causes trouble by completely miss telling the story of Ali
Baba.
Task 39: Create a show with at least 500 thrill points.
Buddy appears and says a few more XP and you'll get another half star
Task 40: (unknown, he never told me specifically, he just told me I completed
it.)
Circus is 4.5 star
New Effect are available.
Dialogue: the vizier comes with another requirement. This time the investors
want to see "the immoral woman and her brat son". Buddy as usual antagonizes
the vizier.
Task 41: Create an artist show containing Salma, Sami and at least 4 other
artists. Salma and Sami must perform at least 5 tricks together, and Salme
at least 5 more. The show must be flawless. (note: this will be the next
show that completes once you select "Accept now", be careful. - Failure
means game over.)
Dialogue: the Sultan is again thrilled, as is the princess. The Sultan then
introduces you to the foreign investor who speaks in a distinct Texas accent.
Dialogue: you meet with the foreign investor. He mentions that he'd like to
see another show. Once with a lot of local influence. He seems extremely
interested in Salma.
Task 42: Create a show not only with Salma, but other local artists (I had
Aida, Aziz and Hakim mentioned to me by Buddy). The show must have at least
500 eXotic points.
Dialogue: you talk to the foreign investor. He suggests that you take the
circus to the states, when you mention that there isn't much money, the
investor says that the vizier Jaffar is always making great deals. Then he
talks about what could be imported to Europe and the US.
Task 43: I couldn't say, again I got a signal that I'd completed the task
without ever seeing the taxk.
Dialogue: The princess wants to talk to you. She wants to meet at the
ancient temple behind the circus.
Circus is now 5 star
Dialogue: The princess wants some advice. She is trying to avoid an
arranged marriage to Jaffar. You suggest that she find something to prove
that Jaffar is corrupt and evil to show her father and therefore end the
match.
Dialogue: you are shown a conversation between the princess and the sultan.
The princess reports that she isn't feeling well. The sultan finally
suggests going to the circus. The princess says she wants to laugh.
Task 44: The order from the palace is to make the funniest show ever. And
Leila wants to see you at the temple tonight. 500 fun points and at least 70
tricks.
Dialogue: Leila and the others are happy with the show. Leila than accepts
the wedding, but demands a circus show with 101 tricks. Jaffar isn't happy.
Dialogue: the princess meets with you. She reveals that she needs the circus
to have a long dress rehearsal so that she can complete hacking the vizier's
computer and prove that he's stealing money.
Task 45: Jaffar is coming in 3 days for the dress rehearsal. You need a show
containing 101 tricks and flawless so that he doesn't leave early.
Dialogue: Jaffer meets with the sultan and isn't all that happy with the
dress rehearsal. Leila shows up and again tells her father than she doesn't
want to get married. The sultan tells the land has no money. Leila then
talks about the vizier's hidden money. In the end Jaffar is jailed and the
Sultan agrees that Leila can go to Cairo to study.
Dialogue: the princess is going to leave to study in a week. You suggest a
farewell show.
Task 46: Create a superb show with all the performers and their best tricks.
Everyone has to do at least 3 tricks. (This task was a bit annoying, as the
definition of "Superb" is never covered. The one suggestion I found that
does work is to fire most of your performers and put on a smaller, much more
controlled show. It appears that you need to get a certain level of audience
response – not impression, but how good of a smile face you get.)
Dialogue: you receive a card from Cairo from the princess. With the show a
success in the Orient, you and Buddy are wondering what to do. The idea
becomes to go to the States. You need at least $2,000,000
Task 47: Earn $2,000,000
Dialogue: Buddy wonders what is going to happen to the circus once you leave
and head to the states. You then meet with Hassan and ask him to manage the
circus once you leave.
Task 48: Its time to say farewell in a genuine Circus Grande Way. All
performers must perform at least 5 tricks. At least 10 performers must
appear, and the show needs at least 20 five-star tricks.
Dialogue: you announce that you are going to America, but that Hassan will be
taking over the circus.
End of Orient Campaign

Task 2: Make sure you have at least half the tent full for 5 days in a row.
(this means you need to get your attendance up to 470 and keep it there for 5
days) (This is a lot easier than it might sound. I had a show with just 7
performers. Alice, Oliver, Nadia, Ariana, Ben, Nazir and Spike and was
pulling in full houses after only 4 days.)
Task 3: Make $1,000 or more per show for the next 7 days. (if you are
selling out the circus you are most likely seeing $7,000 or more, even if you
only get 0 & 0.5 star visitors.)
Dialogue: A local tycoon is talked about. He apparently is a bit of a
megalomaniac and has a new project idea. He wants to build a new steel mill

circus is in black numbers at least for the week. (this means you have to
limit your building and hiring for the week as you need to end the 7 days
with more money than you started)
Dialogue: a meeting between the unknown businessman and his assistant. She
reveals to him that the circus is in the way. She goes to the press and
begins a negative press campaign.

female artist, Cutie – monkey
Task 5: Hire at least 2 local artists and create a show where each performs
at least four tricks.
When you pass the task of hiring local artists, Buddy suggests inviting the
journalist to watch the show.
Dialogue: the assistant talks to the journalist. He was impressed with the
show and gave the circus a good review. The assistant tries another angle
saying that the show is limited. She gets the journalist to admit that
despite being in a beach, there is no water show.
Dialogue: You read the latest review and its all about how only hiring the
local artists saved the circus. Buddy mentions that the circus shall upgrade
to a water show.
Task 6: earn $100,000 to improve the ring to allow a water show.

perfect and offers at least 2000 impression points.
New performer is available: Wikoli – dolphin
Task 9: As punishment for completing the last task you now have to create a
show for kids and sell it out three days in a row. No failures are allowed
and the ompression needs to be at least 2100.
Dialogue: another scene with the evil assistant. This time she's visiting
the local cinema and claiming that the circus is pushing a marketing strategy
which will get the adults to come to your circus rather than go to the
cinema. The cinema owner claims he'll do a different movie every night for a
week to stop you.
Task 10: You have to match the cinema. For 7 nights you have to do a
different show every night. Each show must contain at least 40 tricks, 10
performers and have an impression level of 2200.
Task 11: Once again the cinema is challenging you. This time you have to run
only perfectly flawless shows for adults with an impression of at least 600.
You must sell at least 705 tickets each show.
Dialogue: Our favorite gossip is now down at the beach and talking to the
beach manager claiming that you are advertising the show as the best water

going to do something to stop you.
Task 12: the beach owner claims he has the best water entertainment. Create
three different shows with three water animals
New performers are now available: Aika – Tamer; Bob, Dino – Seal
Dialogue (once you complete the previous task). The big tycoon is throwing a
fit that your circus is still in business. His assistant tries to say that
you are just good, but her boss won't accept that. You then see her talking
to a journalist. She's now claiming that your circus has been cutting
corners on fool quality in order to stay in business.
New Building is Available: Luxury Drink Stall, Fast Food.
Dialogue: Buddy reveals that people are no longer eating at the food stalls.
After a short conversation he remarks that there has been a recent article in
the paper saying the food is no good.

buildings is $170,000)
Dialogue: you meet with the journalist who wrote the poor review of your
food. You challenge him to eat your food and he finds it very tasty. You
find out that this is the first time he has tasted the food. He tells you
that he wrote a bad review because of what he'd been told previously. This
is the first time you receive direct word about the attempt to run down the
circus.

Circus is now 2 star
Dialogue: the owner of the multiplex shows up to say that he's about to go
bankrupt because of the price war he had been fighting with you. You talk to
him and find out that "the woman from the marketing company" caused him to
spend too much in an attempt to win the price war you never knew about. In
the end you agree to help him out by providing money until the end of the
month.
Task 14: the cinema needs $10,000 per day for the next ten days in order to
stay in business.
Dialogue: the cinema owner thanks you for keeping him from going bankrupt.
Dialogue: The other owners who were fooled by the "assistant" show up and
tell you that they are now having problems. You tell them that you'll do a
big week of advertising for them.
Task 15: for one week you must either march through the town or perform
outdoors, and half the earnings must go to the owners who were fooled by
Laura. They have to receive at least $3,000 per day. (you have to reissue
the parade command every morning.)
Dialogue: the 2 owners thank you for your generousity. And one of the two
knows someone who used to own a circus and who may have some animals that
might be good for your show.
New Performers are available. (Tao – bear, Boris – elephant, Bina – female
elephant, Solo – elephant kid, Nellie – female dolphin)
Task 16: Upgrade the bigtop and put on a superb show with all the performers.
(upgrade cost $450,000 – this will also increase capacity to 1200) Superb
isn't defined, but I passed with a show that had an average impression of
1965, and the best smiley face for the average content.

Dialogue: Laura the gossip you hate is now talking to some lady Cristy who
apparently works for some animal rights group. She's claiming that you don't
treat the animals well. The claim is that you starve and beat the animals.
Cristy however demands immediate action and when she says she's going to the
mayor immediately Laura takes a powder.
The circus is now at 2.5 stars
Dialogue: Cristy is meeting with the mayor and she's passing on the rumor
that your circus mistreats animals. The mayor orders one of his underlings
to investigate.
Dialogue: The city investigators arrive and accuse you of mistreating
animals. You are naturally very upset and shocked to be accused of
mistreating animals. You get an agreement with the investigators to
independently watch the animals and verify that you don't mistreat the
animals. You are ordered not to release any animal during the investigation.
Task 17: animal satisfaction must be above average for the next week.
Dialogue: one of the officials says that you exceed all the standards, but
the other official wants to see about the level of garbage in the circus.
Task 18: for the next week the garbage level must never exceed 200 points.
Dialogue: You are meeting against with the officials. This time they are
going to monitor the animal stress level.
Task 19: For one week each animal's stress level cannot exceed the maximum
safe level.
Dialogue: You talk to the official again. He's now satisfied with the
treatment of the animals, but wonders about the artists.
Task 20: all artists and tamers must have a satisfaction above average for
the next seven days. (even Buddy seems to be sick of this official)
Dialogue: You meet with the official again and he's happy with the treatment
of the artists, but once again he wants to check the litter situation
Task 21: for the next week there can be absolutely no litter in the circus.
Dialogue: you meet with the officials again and ask if you've done enough.
They want to check on the animals again.
Task 22: Animal satisfaction must stay at least 10 percent over average for
the whole week.
Dialogue: You talk to the officials and ask if they have anything more they
want to check. They finally say that they have seen enough. You demand that
the officials tell you who accused you. The official tells the whole story.
Needless to say Buddy quickly figures out that Laura is behind it. He asks
the officials to provide a certification that the circus is clean, and the
number for the person who accused you.
Dialogue: you meet with Cristy in a private spot near the lighthouse. You
immediately ask if a dark haired lady was the one who came to her with the
stories of animal abuse. Cristy immediately figures out the story and knows
a bit about the corporation that's causing all the trouble.

Circus is now 3 star
Dialogue: Laura has found out that a sultan and a princess as coming to the
city and want to go to the circus. Its your friends from the Orient
campaign. The sultan is happy that the nation's economy is better and the
princess is thrilled to have gotten to further her studies. You offer a
special show just for them. A water show.
Task 23: Create an exclusive water show with all your water animals
New performer is available: (Boca – Seal)
Dialogue: Leila and the Sultan are thrilled by the show. They offer to help,
but you say that their attendance was gift enough. And the sultan admits
that letting his daughter study was a good thing. The sultan also gives you
a great gift of $500,000
Task 24: I didn't see a dialogue before, was just told by Buddy that I needed
to build a cage for water animals. (which brought the total up to 3)
Dialogue: The city officials show up and ask you for help. They have
recovered a wounded dolphin on the beach and ask you to cure him.
Task 25: The wounded dolphin – Holeka, must be completely cured. He starts
with 4000 points of illness which will increase 100 points per day. If he
reaches 6000 he will die.
Dialogue: the male city official is thrilled that Holeka is now healthy. He
wants to see if you can train Holeka.
Task 26: teach Holeka four tricks and perform a flawless show. There is a 30
day time limit.

Section VIII: Trick list – by type (under construction)
I'm still working out how to put all the information into this. For now I'm
going to have 2 lists. The first will be a list of all the tricks and their
stats. Later I'm going to add a section for each performer listing which
tricks they learn at each star level.
Note: for all tricks that require a trainer or more than one performer I'm
using an x/y configuration for the energy, stress and XP levels. X would be
the primary performer and y for the tamer or secondary performer.

Section X: Show planning (under construction)
I'm still working out how to make a great show, but during the campaign there
were 3 basic kinds of shows that you had to make.
1) Show with a minimum number of tricks based on performer type or star
level.
2) Show with a minimum score in a type of trick
3) Show with a minimum impression.
Each has some similarities, but its own challenges.
1) The show with a minimum number of specific tricks is usually the most
straightforward to complete. Hire the type of performers and make sure they
know the tricks you need. After that its merely a case of setting up the
show. The only problems you can run into are either inexperienced performers
who don't know the show you need, lack of money to hire the needed
performers, or injured performers.
2) This can be a bit more complex, but its still rather easy to complete.
All tricks are scored for the traits, Thrill, Art, Exotic, Fun and Cute. You
just have to make sure that the tricks in your show add up enough points in
the required trait. Repeat tricks are allowed.
3) This is the most difficult type of challenge to complete. Impression is
based on the complete package of the show. This means number of tricks, type
of tricks, what effects and music are paired with each trick and the overall
structure of the show. I'm still working out the best method, but I will say
now that you can "brute force method" to complete these tasks. There is a
penalty for having a show that's too long or chaotic, but it is not always as
big as the bonus you get for having the trick in the show. I often will set
up so that I'm only running one show a day during periods when I have to hit
a certain impression level and packing the required time period with a long
show using all my performers. So far it has worked.
(this section will be expanded on as I develop a more complete method of
putting shows together)
Section XI: Rest Levels
For both human and animal performers there are several levels of rest that
you can offer. Some only last the specific time period, others are full day
rest periods. All offer a different recovery of energy and stress
resistance.
Humans –
Rest at home – no cost and performer will recover 1/3 of his powers
Rest in Town for $100 - $100 and performer will recover half of his powers
Enjoy self in town for $500 - $500 and performer will recover three quarters
of his powers.
Vacation for a day - $200 and performer rests as if sleeping and improves
mood. (must be selected as an AM activity and removes the performer for the
day)
Day trip to Exotic location - $1,000. Performer rests and improves mood
significantly. (must be selected as an AM activity and removes the performer
for the day)
Luxury Nursing-Home - $5,000. Significant improvement to energy and mood.
(must be selected as an AM activity and removes the performer for the day)
Animals –
Rest in Run – no cost and will recover a third of its powers
Rest in closed part of run – no cost and will recover half of its powers, but
will lose some popularity.
Rest for the day – Recovers three quarters of its powers (animal will not
perform, must be selected as an AM activity.)
Spend day outside the circus – Recover as if night and improve mood. Costs
$200 (animal will not perform, must be selected as an AM activity.)
Spend day in large run outside circus - $1,000. Performer rests and improves
mood significantly. (must be selected as an AM activity and removes the
performer for the day)
Luxury pet resort for the day - $5,000. Significant improvement to energy
and mood. There will be a popularity loss because the animal cannot be seen.
(must be selected as an AM activity and removes the performer for the day)
Section XII: Marriage and what it brings (under construction)
Marriage to a female performer is possible in Circus Empire. It starts when
any female performer is hired. There is a "Manager Actions" tab that appears
on every performers screen. While you are unmarried the following options
will appear for a female performer. (artist or tamer)
Invite for Dinner
Buy Flowers
Write a Poem
Take her for sea trip
Take her Mountain climbing
Invite her to the theater
Invite her for fashion show.
Each of these options can either annoy or please the lady. If she is pleased
her loyalty rating will increase.
Once the circus is at 2 stars, a new option will appear
Propose Marriage
If the lady is at "Great" loyalty she will accept and marry you.
Once married the lady will give you a bonus based on her personality. She
also will eventually give birth to a son, Oliver and a daughter, Nadia. Both
children can be trained to perform.
