CityVille Tips


A cool new game from Zynga, in general if you know SimCity you will get the idea quickly. What I liked with this game is the game dynamics. First the economics is based on getting supplies (From farming & etc) and selling goods that will earn you money. In the
process you will use some energy. So lets start our tips:



Tip 1: To make the game move faster (get more profit) maximize your population by doing whatever is necessary.

Tip 2: Make sure to build farm plots to cover your needs (best is Corn in my case, im in level 20).

Tip 3: When you build your business don’t forget the energy consummation. So do the following:

  • Increase your Tea, Toys & Berger shops in the beginning
  • don’t build Bakery, Flowers & Video Game shops these will drain your energy

Then when you have enough money and other shops are open to you do the following:

  • Go with the Shoe shop, it’s the best in my current level

Tip 4:
Surround your shops with Barricades as much as possible(they cost 200, increase surroundings 4% & don’t use a lot of space)






Tip 5: Get 200% more from each business

If you need a lot of money quickly as for the cinema task, a good idea is to make a hot bonus zone, a location to move your business to before you collect the profit.
My best design is as follow and its build from items that you already was forest to have, and some others that you can buy, it will cost but it will cover it cost very quickly.

This is the implementation for it. this will give you 203% bonus





The math behind the tips
For Farming:


supply
15
70
110
30
45
80
90
cost
20
46
62
28
36
49
52
So select the 110/62 and that’s the Corn , its the best and about its long time to be ready, farm several times depending on your timing so you get continues supplies and you don’t get your storage full or get out of supply  

For the shops:

I started with the above table that made me make the worst decision, and that’s to go with video games. And after a day , my energy was out and everything stops because the shops are waiting for you to recharge with supplies. So I updated the table to see energy usage and got the following:
Shops
bakery
flowers
tea
toys
Berger
video game
dinner
cosmetic
pool
bicycle
se clothing
coca
sea food
shoe
earning

So you can see from the above. To use 100 supply you will need 10 energy and yes you will get 500 money, but if you don’t have the needed energy everything will stop and you will be stock to recharge energy and before you know it you are stuck again.
So go with the tea, or Berger in the beginning and then jump to the shoes, with less than one energy you will get about 440 energy and that is great for now.
