CityVille Bullet Train Goal - Only available until the end of the month.

If you're level 25 or higher in CityVille, you now have access to a new, limited-time-only quest dealing with your town's train system. The quest is called Bullet Train (Zynga refers to it as Choo Choo Charlie, but in game it is labeled as Bullet Train), and it will only be around until the end of the month - May 31 - to complete.

As this is a very limited time period on this if you feel like sharing this with your friends feel free or even Retweet to get the message out before this is unavailable.

If you're level 25 or higher in CityVille, you now have access to a new, limited-time-only quest dealing with your town's train system. The quest is called Bullet Train (Zynga refers to it as Choo Choo Charlie, but in game it is labeled as Bullet Train), and it will only be around until the end of the month - May 31 - to complete.

In this quest, you'll need to complete a series of three tasks, which are actually a bit time consuming.

Harvest 75 Watermelon
Send 8 Trains
Ask friends for 20 Palettes

The Palettes are earned through a general news post to your wall, so that 20 requirement might be a bit harder to reach than you initially thought. Meanwhile, Watermelon take four hours to grow. As for the requirement to send trains, remember to send the shortest, five minute train, if you want it to pass by quickly. The reward for finishing this quest is the Cargo Shed, a building that is otherwise available to purchase in the store for 20 City Cash. What's so special about this building? Simple - it adds 1,000 Goods to your maximum capacity! That's actually a great prize!

Remember, this quest is only available to complete for the next few days, so work fast to earn this great reward.

Upgrading the CityVille Emergency Clinic

In case you hadn't noticed, the name of game lately in Cityville is "upgrade." It all started with the Police Station upgrades, and now the Emergency Clinic has its own tiers of effectiveness and style. Thanks to Frank the Architect, you can now boost your Emergency Clinics' (Yes, you can have more than one.) Population cap, Energy output and even their chances to drop Ribbons. And don't worry, with us, enhancing your Clinic will be easy peasy.

Before we dive right into making some pimpin' Clinics, let's get a few things out of the way. While you're allowed more than one Emergency Clinic, you must upgrade each one individually, and deleting a Clinic will reset the process. If you have a completed Emergency Clinic, you should see the option to upgrade it when you reach 750 Population. Mouse over the Clinic, click on it and you will see this screen below:

Emergency Clinic Level 2

In order to upgrade to the second level, you must add six of your friends as staff members, much like any other Community Building. To do this, just click on the "Hire Friends" button and you'll be taken to a screen where you can send recruitment requests. This next level supports 100 more Population for a total of 300, and increases your chance to receive more Energy and Ribbons when collecting from it.

Once you reach 2,300 total Population, you can access the third and final level of the Emergency Clinic. Click on it to cause the screen below to appear:

Emergency Clinic Level 3

Thankfully, you only need to add three more staff members for a total of 15 to complete this upgrade. Just use the same "Hire Friends" button to snag those final three staffers. Your reward for completing the Emergency Clinic is 250 more Population for a total of 550, and an even higher chance to receive extra Energy and Ribbons when collecting from it. Not to mention it'll look even more like that fancy hospital downtown.

Cityville Video Testimonials - These did make me laugh!

Now you might be thinking what the eck!!  Well this morning before I went to work I turned on my computer and received an email from a friend with a link to some video testimonials.  These testimonials were for a new guide called Cityville CodeBreaker.  I have never heard of this before so I had to have a look to see what people were talking about in the videos about the guide.  

I then looked again and saw loads more pop up with people from all around the world, but they are not just normal testimonials there are some real corkers here.

Take a look for yourself:  Look out for the Spanish Woman and the Gentlemen in glasses - Hehehe, I love it.

Hope you enjoyed them?

CityVille Bakery Upgrades: Everything you need to know and more!

A system of business upgrades has now been launched in Cityville with the first business capable of upgrading being the Bakery. Similar to upgrades to your Community Buildings like the Bank or Post Office your Bakery can be upgraded two times, with each upgrade making the Bakery larger and grander in appearance, and also triggering it to produce more profit, but at a higher cost of Goods.

To be clear, the starting Bakery earns just 40 coins for 10 Goods supplied. To complete the Upgrade process, you'll work through a simple goal called "Upgrade a Bakery!" which requires you to simply have a Bakery in your town, supply it with Goods, and finally upgrade it. To upgrade the Bakery, simply click on the building and you'll see the menu like the one above. You can either upgrade simply by repeatedly collecting profits from and supplying your Bakery with Goods, but you can also speed up the process by asking your friends to help you upgrade.

Your overall goal is to reach 200 points to upgrade your Bakery, with each friend that helps adding ten points to your progress. Once you upgrade to a 2-star, Level 2 Bakery, your building will require 40 Goods rather than 10, but will offer you 170 coins in profits, over the original 40 coins. Repeat this process all over again, and you'll eventually hit the 3-star, Level 3 Bakery, which requires you to spend 120 Goods, and rewards you with 540 coins each time you collect from the building.

As you might expect, this upgrade process must be completed separately for each individual Bakery you currently have in your town. That is, you'll need to upgrade each Bakery individually, either paying City Cash to unlock points, or simply asking your friends to help you out. Furthermore, while this is currently the only business that allows for upgrades in your city, Zynga has stating that this is just the first of many business upgrades that will eventually launch in the game. We can only expect further upgrades to work in the same way, so keep this method in mind (and lots of helpful friends on hand) for the future.

CityVille Upgrade your Bank: Everything you need to know and more

It seems that every single community building might be heading for an upgrade in Cityville, at the rate this is going. First we had the Post Office and Police Station and now we can add the Bank to the list of upgradeable buildings in the game. To upgrade the Bank, you'll need to click on the building (after collecting its profits, where applicable), and then make sure you have enough friends (or Samantha bonuses) to fill the eight total positions needed to upgrade the building. After all, for a bigger business, you need more staff to run it.

Once that's done, your Bank will go from a population allowance of 250 citizens to allowing 350 citizens to live in your town. You'll also earn the chance to receive Gold Plating and bonus energy every time you collect the profits from your Bank from there on in. Once reaching this level, you can upgrade yet again by having 10 positions filled. This gives you a chance to earn two Gold Plating and even more bonus energy when collecting. Currently, level 3 is as high as you can take your Bank in terms of upgrades.

We'll make sure to let you know whether or not more upgrades come to other buildings in the game. 

You definetly need a plan in the game and this is one of them that really helps you.  To check out more plans and ideas visit Cityville The Masterplan

CityVille Bay Point Duplex and Carousel - Latest News

Throughout the week, Zynga informed us about the changes made to some of the buildings in CityVille, the reason for this was to enhance the gameplay experience for everyone. There are now two existing buildings that have been given an extended time period. These are the Bay Point Duplex and the Carousel which have now been marked as expiring over the next day. 

There may be some of you who have not purchased either of these yet but you can pick up the Bay Point Duplex from the main store for 30,000 coins and the Carousel for 25,000. The population of the Duplex can be anything between 230 and 470 which obviously depends on your own upgrades.  The Carousel on its own holds at least 700 citizens for your town. When these have expired unfortunately these will be unavailable to buy.

For all those people that already have them. don't worry they are not going to be removed and they sure will not be taken from you town.

Zynga did announce though that sometimes changes have to be made to encourage players to use new strategies with the items that they already have in their town.  It may be a bit unfair especially when you may be doing so well in the game, but the game will keep growing and advancing to keep things interesting.  It was also mentioned that it gives the developer an opportunity to add more of an increased range of choices in the future. 

We are not quite sure of the backbone to these statements or is it a ploy for more Cityville fans to spend all their hard earned coins on items that they need to collect before the time limit runs out.

Anyways, as soon as more information is disclosed about any other changes which may change your game play we will let you know and also any news of new items when they become available.

Strategy in Cityville's Guide to Franchises

Something unique to Zynga's brand new Cityville is its Franchises. This new feature allows you to initially choose one business of your own to expand into your friends' cities. Starting a franchise is simple enough. Just visit a friend's city and find the empty plot of land in their town. Players can also add additional plots of land and invite their friends to do business with them.

Find out how to create the foundations of a CityVille empire after the break. Before we dive into this, the most important thing to remember is that Goods--the lifeblood of all business in CityVille--come only from farming and other select missions. This secondary resource to Energy fuels all of your businesses including your franchised ones. As a rule of thumb, your farmland should always be planted (though, they do wither) and you might want to build silos. Lots of them.

If this is the first time your expanding, then you'll see a list of all the businesses you run in your hometown. Choose one and plop it down on that land just waiting to make some money and you're good to go. Though, it'll cost some coins to build the new branch--but fortunately it won't cost any Energy and it completes instantly. Your friend will later have to accept and soon enough you'll be making some extra cash.

Franchised businesses work much like normal ones, though they're backed by what's called an HQ. It's from this massive building that you can supply your branches in all of your friends' cities with Goods as well as collect daily bonuses. Here is also where you'll discover that you can have more than one franchise with your second opening up at level 10. You'll be taken through the whole process via a series of goals--which can be found on the left side of the screen--lead by a balding businessman named Edgar.

After building your franchise into a bustling business with a headquarters, you'll be asked to employ some friendly competition. This goal will ask you to send 10 spy-packed tour buses to your friends' businesses to get a leg up on your opponents. Completing goals similar to these will help grow your franchises and increase your profits.

Think of franchises as what you're really leveling up rather than your city. While in the real world we wouldn't suggest a mayor do that, it seems that Franchises are going to be what advances us further in CityVille than just having a pretty little town. As a recap, there are three essentials to maintaining a Franchise in CityVille: Goods, Energy (which will come from...) and visits to friends. Now, go forth and and capitalize that city... and a few more while you're at it.

Everyday there are new things being updated and added to Cityville.  To keep up with the best players and to have a game plan that works why not visit Cityville Masterplan

Strategy in Cityville Guide to Collecting Rent and Getting More Coins

Coins

 

Coins are currency used to purchase almost everything in Cityville. Almost all buildings, seeds and decorations and expansions are purchased using coins. Without coins there is no way to advance any further in the game. Coins can be acquired in a variety of ways all providing you with different amounts of coins at different costs and energy to you. These are things you can do to get more coins.

 

Collecting Rent:

 

One of the first ways that you will learn to make money is by collecting rent from the housing that you have created. Housing that you build will cost you different amounts to create, will provide you with different amounts of rent but, will also take different amounts of time to collect the rent. It can be complicated to figure out what housing development to build in order for you to gain the most profits. What it really comes down to is how much you are planning on playing Cityville. If you don't play everyday you will not want to build a series of cozy cottages because wont be collecting from them every hour, instead you would want to build something like loft apartments because you can collect more for the same energy every 2.1 days.

 

 

 

Lady Gaga joining Zynga in Cityville and Farmville - News just in and its HUGE!

It has just been announced that Lady Gaga has played and donated to charity by harvesting Via Cityville‘s Lettuce Crops supplying a generous amount of donations to the Japanese earthquake victims through Zynga.

GagaVille - The Future

There is going to be a Lady Gaga-inspired farm that players will be able to visit, all complete with Sheep on motorized vehicles with also many other items to match Lady Gaga’s fashion style with exclusive access to her catalogue of songs and also from her next album, “Born This Way,” set to release May 23 which is something to look forward to. The aim and the reason for this collaboration was to allow all fans that enjoy Farmville and Lady Gaga to listen to her music whilst playing the game and is something that has not been done before.  This is HUGE!

It has been announced that Zynga will release a number of $25 Lady Gaga Zynga Game Cards on May 15 all the way through to June 11 of this year, whereby redeeming the cards will unlock a totally exclusive in-game Lady Gaga unicorn for players.

Also the seven lucky FarmVille players who collect these cards will each win a day with Lady Gaga whilst she is performing on set, and this does not matter at all where they are at the time around the world.

There will be a mini game for players which is the Lady Gaga mysterious Word of the Day where the correct entries to the game will be placed into a random draw enabling them to win tickets to one show on Gaga’s next tour with also a signed copy of “Born This Way.”

Finally the RewardVille will feature 10 Lady Gaga-themed gifts across all of the top Facebook games for players that have collected enough zCoins.

Maximising Your Cityville Farming Production

In order to keep your businesses and franchises running constantly you are going to need a steady supply of goods. This requires you to have an efficient and large scale farm running at all times full of crops.

The best way to maximize your production of goods from farming is by staggering your crops. 

This is a simple yet very effective method for farming like a pro.

– Designate a large portion of land to farming and keep it all together. Do not have “mini farms” spread out all over your city.

– During the morning plant a row of watermelon (4hour crops), about 5 per row (but can be   as many as you want)

– Plant a row of carrots (8 hour crop), the same number you planted for the watermelon

– Plant a row of pumpkins (18 hour crop), the same number you planted for both

– Continue with planting crops with longer growing periods until you reach peas which take 3.1 days.

– When the watermelon are ready, harvest them and repeat the same number of potatoes in the same space

– Do this for all your other crops when they are ready. Just harvest and replant in the same place.

You do not have to start with watermelons or end with peas. This is just an example. If you only have strawberries, carrots and corn unlocked you can still use the staggering method. As you unlock new more profitable crops just add them in. This can be done by simply adding more farm plots as you will be needing to increase your farm size as the game progresses anyways.

This is just a sample of a plan to be used in Cityville.  You need to have a Cityville Masterplan to be able to build your city fast, unlock and grow more crops and increase yout farm size.  For more hints and tips on maximising your efforts in Cityville visit: Cityville Masterplan

 

Cityville Goals and Organisation: The Ultimate Strategy - Check out the Video

Goals will be a constant part of gameplay as you progress through Cityville but you should not look at them as a chore to complete.

Goals not only give you bonuses but by doing what a goal asks to do it will help out your city. Goals (especially at the beginning of the game) are usually just the next logical step for you to take when going about your business they let you know when to start up franchises and as you complete goals many new and useful things will be unlocked. Try to work around completing goals while still sticking to your strategies that you learn here.

Organization

Organization is probably the most important aspect of becoming a pro in Cityville. If you look at almost all high ranking players they almost all have one thing in common, there city's are organized! Not only will you be able to find things easier but if you keep like with like you can collect rent and re-supply businesses much more quickly than you could if they were all spread out. Organization can help you keep things tightly packed together which lets you cram as many things as possible into your limited space given.

Cityville Fundamental Tips and Playing on a Daily Basis - These are important to help you

Fundamental Tips

From the beginning there are some very important fundamental tips you should follow in order to be a pro at Cityville. These will help you out and make you an above average player regardless of having any more advanced strategies. If you can follow these you will be well on your way to dominating Cityville.

Playing on a Daily Basis

This may seem obvious and many of you may be saying that you don't have enough time to play everyday. While this may be true for many of you try to find time to play even for just 5 minutes once a day. Whether it is late at night or early in the morning try to make a habit of logging on and doing the bare minimum to keep your city profiting and creating goods. 70 minutes a week spread out over 7 days will be much better for your city then spending 5 hours over a single weekend. When playing over the week, try to play at consistent times. That way you will be able to plant the right crops for the time in between play. This strategy alone can put you ahead of most of your friends. One more obvious reason to play everyday is that Cityville gives a bonus to players that log on everyday. As of right now if you log in for 5 days in a row you are given a chance of winning a huge prize.

CityVille Hardware Store upgraded to actually become useful

When the Hardware store was released in Cityville last month, many players quickly went from excitement to annoyance at the fact that A) You had to use 35 building materials to build it and B) It never really released enough bonus building materials when collected from it, even though we were assured building it would be worth while.

That all has changed with this week's update, however, with Zynga offering two changes. The first will help those that simply stopped before they ever really got started, by removing the requirement to collect any additional building materials to finish your Hardware Store's construction. That's right, even if you had never asked for one of these items from friends, the next time you log into the game, you'll be given the ability to name your automatically completed building. 

What's more - we have now been guaranteed to receive some kind of building material (no specific types or order in which they will be found was released) each and every time we collect from the Hardware Store. The Hardware Store takes 160 Goods to operate, so you can collect from the building as often or as little as you'd like, depending on your Goods supply or how many other businesses you have "open" at once. At last - a basically free and easy way to earn building materials without having to bug friends!

Well thats the plan!  Have you a plan for your city? Have you seen Cityville Masterplan? 

Good luck in the game folks and as more information hits the internet I will get it posted to you straight away.

CityVille: Collect from Houses, get random population boosts

Sick of adding variety or flavor to your cities with new houses to increase population? (Who needs 'em!)Zynga has introduced an interesting update to Cityville that, when players collect from Homes, will randomly drop population increases. Remember that strange little phrase many of you found next to building information in the Market? You're looking at it. 

Whenever you collect from a Residence, there is now a small chance that, in addition to coins and XP, a small moving van icon will appear. Click on it and you'll receive a small overall Population boost in proportion to the Residence you collected from. However, each House you own has a cap for how much it increase your population by, again in proportion to the home's original. So, this is a temporary fix to a growing problem: space.

Check out more helpful hints on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/HelpinCityville

Rumor: CityVille Housing population upgrade incoming

Players have been both excited and worried to find that Zynga might be adding the option to increase the population cap or normal Homes in Cityville. CityVille player and forum contributor mdavidson provided the above image of his game, detailing that all Housing in the game will include potential population upgrades in their tooltips. More specifically, when hovering over a House in the Build menu, a new message will appear that reads, "Up to 350," in the case of this screenshot. 

We imagine that the number will be based on the cost and size of each House, though the method for improving this population cap has yet to be seen. This change could provide a solution to the growing problem of space in CityVille, allowing players to increase population without having to place more buildings. Regardless of whether a CityVille forum moderator named forgotnconfirmed the change as "part of a feature that is being rolled out gradually," we're going to throw this one into the "Rumor" pile until we get official word from Zynga.

CityVille Bug Fixes and Improvements: No more cloned Holiday Trees, fast selling of decorations added

Two rather interesting changes have been made to CityVille over the past couple of days, with one being a bug fix, and the other being a design change in the way you remove items from your city. The bug fix removes the issue with Holiday Trees that would cause duplicate, cloned trees to appear in your Inventory at random when trying to store your Holiday Tree in the Warehouse. This issue has now been fixed, and you can store your Holiday Tree until next Christmas without the worry of receiving another right in its place.

The other issue is the more important of the two, as it changes the way you’ll be able to remove low-value items from your town. From now on, removing any item that costs less than 20 coins will no longer cause you to go through the confirmation pop-up when you choose to sell it. That is, if you try to remove a piece of Asphalt Road, a Sidewalk or a Parking Lot, you’ll be able to do so with less clicks, saving you time if you choose to completely reorganize your town to save space, or just for the heck of it.

While it may not be a complete redo of the energy system in the game (which I think most of us could agree the game desperately needs), these new changes do show that Zynga’s at least trying to make some aspects of the game better. We’ll let you know if anything more substantial is changed in the future, so keep checking back.

Complete Guide For The CityVille City Hall Upgrade

Basically, all you need to do in order to upgrade your City Hall (to level 1, then level 2) is to ask friends to join in as staff members. So, here are the requirements for the first level upgrade of the City Hall (6 positions required):

Now in order to get your City Hall to level 2, you will need 10 more positions to be filled by your friends:

Increasing the City Hall level increases the population cap as well, with the level 2 City Hall allowing 500 population and also dropping better rewards when collecting:

- 30% chance to drop 1 Energy
- 15% chance to drop 2 Energy
- 5% chance to drop 4 Energy
- 20% chance to drop 1 Zoning Permit
- 10% chance to drop 2 Zoning Permit

Complete Guide To The CityVille Zoo and Apologies for a link posted on the page

Hiya after some the dodgy links people have been sending across I thought I would share this with you - A detailed guide of the CityVille Zoo, so that you get the most of out this brand new and really cool feature!

(The link of which belonged to a cheat blog is now non existant thanks to the Facebook crew and fan members.)

Everything will start with you being given a basic Habitat from a new in-game character, Karen. The Habitat will become your Zoo, but you must work a little bit to make it happen. After placing and building the Habitat (requires 6 whacks, 1 energy per action), you can click your new Zoo to be taken to a new menu, as seen below:

There, you will be given a random animal to place in the Zoo, with other animals available for purchase, as you can see for yourself, for 20 City Cash each.

Alternately, if you don’t feel like paying real money for some zoo animals in CityVille, you can start posting news feeds to collect animals from your friends (but be waned, you will receive Zoo Baskets, that can also hold decorations or gift baskets, so you are not guarateed to receive an animal each time a friend responds!. After collecting the required amounts ofanimals, you will unlock other Habitats in the Zoo and the “fun” (or spamming, call it as you please) will once again begin!

You can also collect coins from the Zoo, and the more animals you have inside, the bigger the payout will be.

What do you think about the new Zoo feature in CityVille? Were you expecting more?

Donuts are needed to wake up your officers immediately otherwise they will continue to sleep for 72 Hours. Donuts can either be purchased for 5 Cash or you can ask your Friends to Send you Donuts! Donuts are only needed when your officer is asleep so make sure to ask when your officers are catching up on their Zzzzzs..

 Note: You can only ask and receive donuts when your officers are sleeping. You will receive more cops when you reach the next level.
For Example, when you reach Level 4 you will have 4 Cops. The cops displayed will be randomly selected staff members of your community buildings, neighbors or Sam. You will NOT be able to choose which friends you would like as cops.

**HINT** When your businesses are being patrolled by cops there is a better chance of catching bandits! So keep your cops awake as much as possible!

 

Also, make sure to keep your eyes out for Donut Feeds to help out your friends! Not only will you be helping your friends but you will receive one in return if your cops are asleep !
