Chaos Zoo

[zoogudgeon]

Does anyone have any specific tips on beating the Chaos Zoo scenario? I have read all of the info on zoo ratings, but cannot get mine above 94. Animals happy at 98-99 and guests happy at 96-97, I've got lots of flowers and fancy scenary and am researching items, etc as fast as I can...but still cannot win (going on 5th attempt!). Any tips from people who have beaten the scenario would be greatly appreciated!

Which scenario is that???  Do you have as much research done as possible?  Sometimes that helps.

Thanks, BanmenowBK. I'll check the link. I think part of the problem is that the scenario is only 12 months so you have to do everything pretty quickly. *sigh*

Firehawke - this is a user scenario by Loewenfrau (http://zoo.ogresnet.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=930). It's a great scenario (as is Puzzle Zoo, which comes with it) but I cannot get my darn zoo rating up!

Off to try again.
