;Cheese Ranking for Town of Gnawnia

* City of Digby
This is a rough guideline on which cheese is best suited for a particular category. It is further affected by your trap availability and choices, but holds true in most cases. 1 represents the best choice.

This table can probably be further improved, for example adding a writeup on the reasoning for the "best" cheese in each category, and changes will be needed depending on location and the number of cheese in use, but I think this will help get things moving on the '''Cheese Ranking Chart'''.
 
  
===What is the best setup for the Harbor===
+
= Commonly Asked Questions =
The best combination of a [[weapon]] and [[base]] at a given [[location]] depends on a number of factors. These factors include:
+
Members of the MouseHunt community ask the same questions over and over as people go through the different stages of the game. While the developers are updating the game with new traps and locations that impact game play and balance, the purpose of this page is to share the collective wisdom of what has been learned.  
* How [[Power|powerful]] is the trap combination
 
* What is the [[effectiveness]] of the trap which is determined by the [[Power Type|type]] of mice available the location
 
* How [[Luck|lucky]] is the trap combination
 
* In combination with the type of bait that the hunter is using how well does the setup [[Attraction Bonus|attract]] mice
 
* What is the impact of the setup on the [[Stale Cheese]] effect
 
* What is your current goal
 
** If you are interested in profit you may be willing to attract fewer mice and catch fewer mice so long as you are earning [[gold]] the fastest. This depends on the cost of your cheese.
 
** If you are interested in [[points]] you want to be catch the most mice and not care which particular mice are involved
 
** If you are looking for a particular loot drop or completing your mouse collection you want the best setup for catching rare mice.
 
  
Excluding mice that are rarely encountered [[Harbor]] mice include 8 physical mice and 3 tatical mice. Some hunters will be looking for the [[Granite]] mouse because it will drop [[Whisker Woods Clearing Map Piece]]. This is a rough guideline on which setup is best suited for a particular goal. The best choice for a particular goal is given a ranking of 1.

== As a [[Hunter's Title | Novice]] I wonder ==
 +
* How do I get started?
 +
** Read the Wiki article on [[Starting out]]
 +
** Help is also available in the user forums
 +
* What do all of those abbreviations I am seeing in Forum mean?
 +
** See a [[List of forum abbreviations and acronyms]]
 +
* Which trap is better the [[Tacky Glue Trap]] or the [[High Tension Spring]]?
 +
** MouseHunt is a game that gives you choices and the answer depends on what your goals are and what location you are doing your hunting. See the [[Trap Setup Options for the Town of Gnawnia]] and [[Trap Setup Options for the Meadow]].
 +
* What is the best setup for upgrading my trap from the wooden base to the wooden base with target?
 +
** The [[Wooden Base with Target]] will cost you 1225 gold and requires 650 points. You want the combination of bait and location that will allow you to achieve these goals in the fewest number of hunts.
 +
** Save 25 gold for travel - buy as much Cheddar cheese as you can afford and hunt in the [[Meadow]]
 +
* Should I hunt in the [[Meadow]] or in the [[Town of Gnawnia]]?
 +
* Should I skip the [[500 Pound Spiked Crusher]]?
 +
* Should I skip the [[Stone Base]]?
  
Shown in the table below are the statistics when combined with the respective [[Base]]s and bait. Click on the sorting box beside a particular attribute to do a quick comparison.
