If you've ventured into the unpredictable world of sheep breeding in the FarmVille English Countryside, you'll soon realize that it takes a dedicated craftsman to come up with some of the more rare mixed breeds of sheep out there. One of these elusive sheep is the black sheep with white stars, and FarmViller Korgly has come up with a visual guide on how to make your very own.
To get started, you will need Brutus the ram, a black ram, a schooled ewe and any star sheep. Then breed the various sheep as listed (click the image above to view a larger version). Of course, you might need to try more than once (or two or three times) to get the correct offspring, but Korgly says persistence will eventually be rewarded. Please note that we have not actually tested this formula, we're just trusting Korgly knows what he's talking about.

CityVille: More Chinese New Year Items Celebrate Asian Culture
As we predicted just a few short days ago, CityVille has received yet another update in the Chinese New Year theme, bringing five new items to the game's store. There's only one item here available for coins, rather than City Cash, but it's a fun house with a fairly large population (when considering the price), so it's worth taking a look at all the same. Here's a complete rundown of these five new items, which will be available in the game's store for the next two weeks.
Tai Chai Academy (Community Building)
Costs: 70 City Cash
Allows: 4,750 citizens added to maximum population cap
Woo House (Home)
Costs: 50 City Cash
Population: 1,000-1,960
Rent: 299 coins every 18 hours
Li's Lanterns (Business)
Costs: 35 City Cash
Requires: 283 Goods
Earns: 1,549 coins
Firework Display (Decoration)
Costs: 25 City Cash
Payout Bonus: 25% to surrounding homes and businesses; bonus 25% to Chinese theme
Chan Cottage (Home)
Costs: 20,000 coins
Population: 190-370
Rent: 234 coins every eight hours
If you're not interested in spending this much City Cash now, you can always hold out a few days to see if these items go on sale. Since they are technically associated with a holiday, it's possible that we'll see them placed on sale just as other holiday items often are before they're finally removed from the store. Still, don't depend on that happening as a guarantee. Either way, we'll make sure to let you know if this theme continues to grow with new items, so keep checking back with us!

Duke Airship Goals - FarmVille English Countryside
The Duke has finally arrived in FarmVille, but his landing wasn't exactly smooth. In fact, his airship is in tatters, so it's up to you to fix it and accept his offer of your very own farm in the English Countryside. This introductory set of Goals isn't terribly difficult, but to ensure you're ready to get to England as quickly as possible, join us behind the break for a detailed guide.
Duke's AirshipWhen the content becomes available to you in-game, a boy will point out something in the distance that's approaching fast. The game will then play a short cutscene displaying Duke's graceful entrance. Afterward, he'll offer you a deed to your new farm (how did these people find out about you?), but needs you to fix his airship if you're to make the trek across the pond. You'll immediately be put into placement mode, so place the airship down and begin tackling the first Goal:
1. Drop Anchor!: Buy 3 Crates from the Market and place them
Easy enough, right? Crates cost just 150 coins and yield 5 XP when placed. Once you purchase one Crate, you will remain in placement mode, meaning you don't have to access the Market to buy the next two Crates--just place two more. Once this Goal is complete, you'll earn a whopping 100 XP, 5 Farm Cash and 2500 coins. Zynga's being mighty generous for being on your out of the farm.
2. Cotton to It: Plant 50 Cotton
That's it, really. Just throw down 50 Cotton plants and, without even harvesting them, you'll have completed this Goal. However, this one will cost you 3,750 coins. Finish planting and you'll be rewarded with 100 XP, 1 Flag and another 2,500 coins.
3. Nice Supplies: Purchase 1 Cow from the Market
Couldn't these just be condensed into one Goal? Just buy the Cow from the Market and you will be rewarded with 250 XP, an Aviator's Cap and yet another 2,500 coins.
Duke's Airship Party
4. Bon Voyage Party:
0-3 neighbors: Unable to travel to England
4-14 neighbors: Depart in 4 days
15-34 neighbors: Depart in 2 days
35 neighbors: Depart right now
Finally, it's time to say goodbye to your old farm, but not without a send-off party. This could potentially be the biggest snag for people itching to get into FarmVille English Countryside. This Goal acts similar to the New Years party in that you'll need to add friends to your party for a meter to fill to the top. However, the time in which you'll have to wait for access to England is at stake. Add only up to three friends, and you won't even be able to go; add 4 to 14 and the wait time for your flight will be four days, and so on.
And yes, those days are in real time, meaning you'll have to wait another four days to enter the English Countryside expansion if you don't have more than 14 friends. Unfortunately, this is the only way to access this new content, so get into the forums, the FarmVille Facebook page or even the comments below to find more friends to colaborate with.
Once the timer reaches zero, a pop-up will appear guiding you to your new farm. Follow the instructions and you'll be in England in no time. To switch between farms, click on the small airship or home-shaped icons (depending on which farm you're currently in) on the upper righthand corner of the game screen. Now, you're ready to farm in England.

FarmVille English Countryside First Look!
FarmVille, now Zynga's second largest game on Facebook, is still, well, mind-numbingly popular despite the fact that it has been around since June 2009. Some other fun facts about FarmVille: 14 million people checked into their virtual farms yesterday, the game's Facebook page has 30 million fans (that beats out Justin Bieber's Facebook page, with 22.8 million fans) and there are more tractors in FarmVille than there are in the entire world. Not bad for a farming simulation that some (cranky) people hesitate to classify as a 'game.'
Now FarmVille is getting ready to release its biggest update in its two-year history -- the FarmVille English Countryside. Zynga gave Games.com a first look at the new expansion, which will give players level 20 and up access to a brand new farm in England. This second piece of virtual farmland will have new crops, new activities (like breeding sheep and running a pub) and a new, more directed game experience culled from other popular Zynga games like FrontierVille and CityVille.
"This is a whole new idea of giving people a fresh start, rather than just adding more space to their current farms," FarmVille General Manger Todd Arnold says." It's also a great way for friends to re-sync their social game experience together. Friends might be involved in different aspects of the the game, but [the English Countryside] will give all players a fresh start, and allow them to reconnect with friends who are also playing FarmVille."
Probably one of the biggest changes you'll notice in the English Countryside expansion is what I'm calling the "Frontierville-ification" of FarmVille. Put simply, this add-on will include more characters, more missions and a more in-depth storyline.
When the English Countryside launches, you'll be introduced to 'Duke,' who needs help repairing his airship. After collecting crates from friends and growing cotton, among other things, the airship will be up and running, and after throwing a Bon Voyage party, you'll be able to take your first excursion to the English Countryside. Once your there, you'll undertake a series of missions to return the farm to its former glory.
As for syncing up with friends, the new game will have a brand new 'Quest Map' that will let you a visual representation on your FarmVille friends' progress and enable you to jump in and help them (and vice versa) with whatever missions they might be currently working on. In addition to a more formalized mission structure, Arnold says that the expansion will still have some of the free-form gameplay from the original FarmVille. You'll be able to grow and master crops (faster than before), you'll have a sheep pen that will allow you pair different breeds of ewes and rams to come up with "endless" varieties of sheep. There will also be a English Pub, which will be a new form of crafting building, and you'll be able to make cheese, etc.

Once you venture into the English Countryside, you will be free to visit your original farm via airship whenever you please. The two areas, will mostly offer separate experiences, so that means you don't be able to use items you might have in storage in England and vice versa. Your avatar will look the same (with more decidedly English wardrobe options), though, and you will have access to certain items in your gift box in either location.
But you won't exactly be starting the game over from scratch. For those of us who remember the pain of building and upgrading our horse barns and combine tractors -- the expansion will show players mercy, says Arnold. Instead of building another new combine tractor, he says you'll "restore the old combine on the farm." Similarly, the horse barn will be "a little bit broken down, and you'll fix it up." Phew.
Farmville english countryside uk sheepVisiting friends farms will also change a bit. When you decide to visit a friend, you'll land on whatever farm they tended during their last play session. So, if my friend Sharon was working on her English farm most recently, then when I visit her, I will land on her English farm. If she worked on her original farm last, then I would land on her original farm.
For international players who might have been miffed this week about missing out on the FarmVille Stouffers promotion, Arnold assures me that will not be the case with the expansion. The FarmVille English Countryside will roll out internationally. People who play FarmVille primarily on iPhone or iPad will not have access to the new expansion, though Arnold says it's a "possibility" sometime in the future.
After getting a demo of all these features yesterday, I have to say that I going back and tending my regular farm didn't seem nearly as exciting, and it was impossible not to daydream about my brand new farm. I'll guarantee this new expansion will -- at the very least -- reignite players' passion for virtual farming far more than any other add-on we've seen in the past few years.

FarmVille for Dummies' is Ready for Harvest, But is it Ripe for the Picking?
Following up on last November's announcement, FarmVille for Dummies is now done with pre-orders and ready for the picking and perusal of the aspiring virtual farmer. The paperback and Kindle version of this book came out on Amazon last week, at a respective $19.99 USD and $9.99 USD, though Amazon currently has the paperback on sale for $12.35 USD.
The book is the culmination of the hard work and good humor of FarmVilleFreak.com's Angela Morales and our colleague Kyle Orland, so expect some bias when I tell you that this book is an A+ job, and even fun for those who don't play FarmVille. Aside from teaching you how to play, offering advice on the best ways to play, and general troubleshooting of the game, the book also has a chapter on how to recognize scams and tips to avoid addiction. Moreover, the book's final section offers the publisher Wiley's classic "Part of Tens", and for this, the authors have decided to go with "Ten Farming Personalities", "Ten Most Wanted FarmVille Items", and "Ten Go-To Crops". And it does all this while being, as the cover says, "IN FULL COLOR!"
While there's always the initial concern that a book on a social game could be outdated since the medium moves so quickly, Wiley's series of 'for Dummies' books are aimed for beginners, so if you're starting from scratch, FarmVIlle for Dummies has all the fundamentals you're looking for, plus more.
But like Levar Burton always said, you don't have to take my word for it. FarmVilleFreak.com has a PDF sample of the book where you get to read the Introduction and look at the Table of Contents. Additionally, you can preview it through the "Search inside this book" feature on its Amazon page where you'll also find the index. And if you ever do need more info about FarmVille or the workings of another social game (and you most certainly will if you play) that's what FarmVille online guides and the upcoming CityVille for Dummies book are for.
Currently, the book is rockin' 6th place in the "Internet Games" category under "Books" at the Amazon store. If you need an offline alternative, you can also purchase the book off a real shelf at a Barnes & Noble. FarmVille Cheats and Tips: How to Disable One Click Sharing
One Click Sharing has finally made it to FarmVille--now, here's how to get rid of it. A good amount of players (if not the majority) are visibly dissatisfied--scratch that. They're downright furious. Have you read the forums today? It's not pretty. While every player has his or her reasons, a majority of disgruntled responses are essentially saying one thing: "We want to choose who we share our items and rewards with!" So, thanks in part to one of our readers known as "dark," here's how to get rid of that pesky One Click Sharing feature that released today.

4. Remove Extended Permissions

However, beware: If you ever want to restore the function of One Click Sharing, there does not seem to be an option to do so through the Facebook Privacy Settings. Nor does FarmVille immediately offer the chance to restore One Click Sharing once you choose to remove Extended Permissions. Enjoy running back to annoying Facebook pop-ups, I guess.

FarmVille Super Crops - Earn more XP and Bushels With These Super-sized Crops
Earlier this month, we brought you a sneak peek of a new Super Crops feature that we suspected would be launching in FarmVille sometime the near future. Well, our prediction holds true, as some users on the FarmVille forums are starting to receive the new Super Crop feature via a slow rollout (which means you could have received them too!). With this new feature, you'll be able to grow updated, super versions of a few crops, so long as you've already completely mastered their "normal" forms. For instance, you won't be able to plant Super Strawberries until you've already completely mastered the original Strawberry crop.
You'll also have to do a bit of work to unlock these Super Crops, even after you've fulfilled the prior mastery requirement. You'll need to earn the help of six friends, who must approve of your Super Crops before you can actually grow them. Once done, you'll be able to grow these Super Crops from the game's store just as any other crop. For our convenience, there's even a new "Super Crop" sorting option in the store's Seeds & Trees section, but it currently only functions (of course) if the Super Crops have actually rolled around to your farm. Unfortunately, it won't "force" the update as has been the case with other features in the past.
As of right now, it looks like only the following crops are available in Super forms (although we expect many more to be released in the future): Cotton, Cranberries, Grapes, Peppers, Pink Asters, Pumpkins, Strawberries, Watermelon and Yellow Melon.
As you plant these Super Crops, you'll be able to track your progress via the game's Mastery Menu [pictured above], and will earn all new dark brown and gold mastery signs for your trouble (you know, so you don't have two identical strawberry or pumpkin signs sitting right next to each other). If you're a dedicated farmer that has mastered all of the originally available crops in the game, along with those launched in the English Countryside, this will definitely give you something to work on for a while.

FarmVille Pig Breeding
Soon, your farm will be filled with little piglets, oinking and slopping around in your Pig Pen. Pig Breeding has arrived in FarmVille, and luckily half of the work has already been done for you. To start getting your Pigs hitched, you'll need a completed Pig Pen. If you've yet to build one, check out our guide right here. But to take a crash course in the basics of Pig Breeding, join us behind the break.
Pig Breeding
Before we begin, remember that you can only have one Pig Pen per farm. If you attempt to place the offered Pig Pen on a farm that already has one, you'll receive and Out Of Sync error message. Once you've finished the Pig Pen and acquired both a Boar and a Sow (a male and female, respectively), it's time to breed. Just click on your Pig Pen and then "Look Inside." Then, just like with Sheep Breeding, click on one male and one female pig. Right then and there, you'll be given the option to introduce Love Potions into the mix. These items come about once every four hours, but you can also ask your friends for more. Adding more Love Potions decreases the time spent breeding and increases the success rate that a Piglet is actually born.
0 Love Potions: 50% chance; 24 hours
1 Love Potion: 60%; 12 hours
2 Love Potions: 70%; 6 hours
3 Love Potions: 80%; 3 hours
4 Love Potions: 90%; 1 hours
5 Love Potions: 100%; instant
As you can see, Love Potions are extremely valuable. Thankfully, Zynga is working on making them a crafting item. The sex of your piglet is randomly determined upon birth, though some of the factors that affect Sheep Breeding likely come into play here as well. Once two pigs are done making a baby, a "Ready!" button will appear above the stall the two pigs--click it and the you should have your brand new piglet.
Piglets
Now, you again have the option to either keep the piglet or give it to a friend. If you decide to keep it, you must feed it 10 Baby Bottles before it will grow into an adult Boar or Sow. Place the piglet anywhere on your farm and click on it to reveal a number of options. One is "Ask for Baby Bottles," which will post a News Feed that you're looking for the item. You can also send Baby Bottles to your friends through the Free Gifts page.
However, the color and patterns of the pig will be unknown until you raise it to maturity. Zynga states that there are several factors that contribute to the coloration and patterns of your pig, most of which are random. That said, trying to game the system to get that perfectly colored pig is a fool's errand. Finally, you can only have 100 piglets on your farm at a time. Now, you're finally ready to create the Truffle Hunting army of your dreams.

Once you've finished the Pig Pen and acquired both a Boar and a Sow (a male and female, respectively), it's time to breed. Just click on your Pig Pen and then "Look Inside." Then, just like with Sheep Breeding, click on one male and one female pig. Right then and there, you'll be given the option to introduce Love Potions into the mix. These items come about once every four hours, but you can also ask your friends for more. Adding more Love Potions decreases the time spent breeding and increases the success rate that a Piglet is actually born.
0 Love Potions: 50% chance; 24 hours
1 Love Potion: 60%; 12 hours
2 Love Potions: 70%; 6 hours
3 Love Potions: 80%; 3 hours
4 Love Potions: 90%; 1 hours
5 Love Potions: 100%; instant
As you can see, Love Potions are extremely valuable. Thankfully, Zynga is working on making them a crafting item. The sex of your piglet is randomly determined upon birth, though some of the factors that affect Sheep Breeding likely come into play here as well. Once two pigs are done making a baby, a "Ready!" button will appear above the stall the two pigs--click it and the you should have your brand new piglet.
Piglets
Now, you again have the option to either keep the piglet or give it to a friend. If you decide to keep it, you must feed it 10 Baby Bottles before it will grow into an adult Boar or Sow. Place the piglet anywhere on your farm and click on it to reveal a number of options. One is "Ask for Baby Bottles," which will post a News Feed that you're looking for the item. You can also send Baby Bottles to your friends through the Free Gifts page.
However, the color and patterns of the pig will be unknown until you raise it to maturity. Zynga states that there are several factors that contribute to the coloration and patterns of your pig, most of which are random. That said, trying to game the system to get that perfectly colored pig is a fool's errand. Finally, you can only have 100 piglets on your farm at a time. Now, you're finally ready to create the Truffle Hunting army of your dreams.

FrontierVille Cheats - Earn Every Big Barn Badge in Minutes
Along with the release of the Big Barn upgrade in FrontierVille came the ability to unlock one of four new badges in the game. These badges reward you with large amounts of XP, coins, and even food items or decorations for completing them, and luckily, you can finish all four badges in a matter of minutes (I'd wager under 10 minutes for the average pioneer, depending on your current stockpile of adult animals).
First and foremost, simply store every adult Ox, Cow, Horse and Mule in your Big Barn by using the Store cursor in the menu (where you'd choose to change your cursor to sell or move). While storing just a single Ox, Cow, Horse and Mule will unlock the first of these four badges, if you haven't stored 50 adult animals by this point, you'll really be able to take advantage of this strategy.
Simply enter into your Big Barn's menu, and click to remove the animal that you have the most of at the time. For example, say you have 25 Oxen in your Big Barn. Remove all 25 (luckily, you can rapidly click on your land to place each without having to reload the menu), and then re-store them into the Big Barn. The game doesn't make the distinction that you're storing the exact same animals all over again, so your badge progress moves on.
Repeat the process until you've unlocked all four badges and voila! You'll walk away with almost 2,000 XP, three Dinners, a 7 Course Feast, an Aluminum Water Trough decoration, 100 Food and over 6,000 coins! Not a bad haul for a few minutes work, wouldn't you agree?
If you've yet to earn these four badges through our method or otherwise, I'd actually take the time to knock them out sooner, rather than later. It's possible that Zynga will remove this exploit by forcing you to have 200 animals inside the Big Barn simultaneously, so you'll want to make sure to earn these badges before that happens.
