SimCity Build It.

[Xilikon]

Dang, I missed so much then! I am so enjoying this game. Maybe we can start and Area 51 thread for trading. Just wish we could alert others when giving great deals to each other.

I second a new thread in area 51 This game is so enjoyable that I have been neglecting AC lol

OK - I'm giving this a try, too. I'm only on level 5, but it's coming along slowly.

Yay! This has even gotten nail biting for me, I have to get 3 more grass made under 2 hours. For a tip, I would tell you to put your buildings in the center (close to beach) so you can add services around it. Don't be afraid to buy from the Trade Center, if I knew what you needed, I could put stuff there, my storage is bursting!

Isn't it crazy? Looking at some of those cities is wild!! I'll start the thread in Area 51 in min.
I hate the fact that I gotta go gift my fuel accounts, it's turned into a chore.

I've got a ways to go before I get the trade center. It needs population 8000, and I'm only at 5471.

Ah well, it's slow starting but what's the rush?

Yes but it will increase quickly. After the 4th day, i'm already level 23 and over 110,000 population.

It wont take long. Think falcon said you had to get to lvl 18 to join the club. We have 21 places left. Need to find out if we can ever increase the capacity or whether its set at 25

I just wish the nails would show up faster! I need 2 hardware stores!

Yeah - I'd better go see if I have any planes landing.

@Mia i have 5 spades now if you still need them

 

[crescent moon (RIP)]

Cr@p, forgot to collect from my mint and adventure buildings. And need to send out a whole bunch of planes.

 

[Mia]

Ooooh, need 3, be right there. Area 51 started.

Cant see the Area 51 thread ??

 

[Mia]

Sorry, spelled your name wrong a few times.

@crescent moon and anyone else starting out, yes, it's slow, just like AC wasn't built in a day.

Best thing to do is start as many residences as you can. That way, you have more options of building and materials needed.

@Blue Jay, @TheDarkside, @Xilikon let's see if we can get some tips together for those starting out. I reserved the first 2 posts in Are 51 for this reason. I started this game at least a month ago, so not sure of start-up tips.

What I will tell everyone is that some of the cities there are unbelievable, I'll try to get more screen shots so you can see the possibilities! When the city lights up, OMG, fountains and Vegas style lights are very cool indeed!

 

[Mia]

K. here's a couple I came across. Mind, you don't see the flashing or swirling lights. Also neglected to mention the drones, airships and planes with shadows going on. This is a game on steroids.

Question: can you play SlimCity offline? I'm not finding anything in the app's description if you need a connecton all the time.

 

[Jega001]

If you make an Area 51, I would like to follow it. I haven't started in this game yet (fearing another addiction) but I've been watching this closely. I may cave

 

[Mia]

Let me try it out & I'll report back.

 

[Mia]

Looks like we can. And do watch out, it is addicting, but luckily you don't miss anything unless you're joining the tasks.

Well, for some reason, it won't let me upload. A statement comes on saying: "You're playing offline but your progress will update when reconnected"

Nothing is on the Area 51 thread yet. We're visiting in a brand new world.

 

[Mia]

OK, a word or 2 about the strategy required...
-Watching free videos is the best (only?) way to get greens, use them wisely however, some buildings are purchased with gold or blue keys
-Moving buildings around isn't easy when they are so tall you can't see around them.
-Some items take up to 3 hours to make (I do those overnight or buy them from Trade Center)
-You need a good memory to save the items needed for cargo ship or planes b/c same items may be required for building
-Worst pet peeve: when you check to make sure building is safe from fire, you must X out of fire, etc.
-it's easy to get carried away doing tasks, just ask Miss #2 on the leaderboard
-Absolute worst thing? Clicking on everything in AC and sending gifts will seem like a big chore.

I hope others will correct my mistakes here When corrected I'll add to the Area 51 thread
