SimCity Build It.

[mwraymer]

Hello, I've been playing SimCity Build it on and off for about 3 years. Like others, I've gotten bored with it and came back and got hooked again several times. I am at level 52 and my city name is Bentwood. I am not part of any clubs yet, so if you need another trade partner, let me know and I will join your club.

Thank you

I will add you to our Area 51 thread so we can get Blue Jays attention. If you haven't been in a club yet, you're in for some fun

I found 15 area 51's in SimCity...

I saw a few too! The name of our group is Zac Migrants (that's AC with a Z). The group stays closed until our President @Blue Jay opens it to accept members, meaning we have to wait for him. He's alway flying off here and there to please be patient.

Allrighty then, it's been a while since I updated here. SCBI now has Purple Rain i.e. War that you can watch realtime, as we all attack our enemies with funny things like the Comic Hand, Rock Monster and my favorite, the Fishaster. Yes, a bolt of purple rain, (a shaft of purple rays) hits the enemy (cities from another club) complete with a big loud Kaboom. All these funny attacks can be viewed by instant replay. We can now collect war chests with even more prizes. We are thankful for our General Mighty @Mouse leading us into undefeated history.

Are people here still playing this game? It sounded interesting so I've gotten a small city started so far. Is there still an Area 51 thread with tips?

Hello and yes there are several of us playing. I'm not the owner of the area 51 thread so I'm not sure how to get you into that but we would be glad to have you join the club. What level are you at? You have to get to level 18 to join the club.

 

[teraph]

Yes, I saw that I'll have to reach level 18 to join a mayors club. An earlier post mentioned tips in the area 51 thread and I thought those might help before 18. My city is partway through level 14 now.

Yes, there is an area 51 thread with some tips but unfortunately the person who had control of that thread no longer plays the game so I dont know how to get you added to that thread. If you are level 14 you are really close to getting to the club and you will find a group of very friendly and helpful people waiting for you.

The best tip I can give you to help speed up your process to get to the club is to build buildings and then knock them down and do it over again. This will let you climb up the levels faster without having to upgrade utilities.

Interesting idea, thanks. I'll look for the rest of you after level 18.

What is the name of your city?

 

[teraph]

Actually, my city had sort of plateaued just under level 15 until I tried your suggestion and destroyed a building. I didn't want to place more residential zones because my infrastructure was close to or at max in most of the categories. The education and transportation facilities still need some improvement. So the leveling has slowed, at least temporarily. Once there's a bit of margin added to the infrastructure I'll add more residential but for now dropping a building helped. Maybe I shouldn't be holding back as much to keep the happiness at 100%? Anyway, the city is called Farkleton.

 

[FlyingFalcon]

Yeah, keeping the infrastructure versus population balance can be tricky at times. That is why we picked up on the tip of knocking down buildings just to level up. The game will be much more fun once you are part of a club because then you will have other team members to help you along. Plus you can get in on the club wars.

Think I've forgotten how to play SCBI! Got soooooooooo bored, as they wanted me to pay.
Is it worth re-picking up again?

They have definitely made a lot of changes to the game. Not sure how long ago you played but now there is a mayor's club with a weekly contest of mayors where you compete for prizes. Then there are contest of mayors that come in seasons with free buildings and other prizes. The latest feature is the war where clubs go against one another for a 48 hour duel. If you never played as part of a mayors club then it will be a completely different experience than before.
I find it to be very enjoyable and we have a top notch group of players to play with. You are welcome to come give us a try and see if you enjoy it. We do have a few open spots in the club.

Oh god it's got complicated! Seems to take forever to build anything / upgrade / expand too. Think I need to remember what I'm doing with it first!!!

What level are you at? This game is much more fun if you can play it with others. That's where the mayors club comes in to play. We have an in game chat so we can talk to one another and help each other out. When you arent part of a club your only place to find the items you need is on the global market which can be frustrating sometimes. With the club you can ask on the forum for the items you need and if other team members are on and have them they will put them up for you. It also helps with land expansion because once the team knows what you are looking for now you have 20 people searching the market rather than you alone.

Hopefully you can get to level 18 and give the club a try.

Level 40! ( I did say I'd played before )
How do I join?

Oh cool! Go to the mayors club island and search for the club named AC Migrants and hit apply. We will be looking for you. What is the name of your city?

 

[FlyingFalcon]

@Arggers, as soon as I know your city name I will open the club from private to public. We leave it at private or else our chat is constantly bombarded with request to join. Once you are in the club you will be able to go visit any of the club members cities and buy things in their depots. Just be careful about buying war items. Some people store their extra war items in their depots and have them round traded out between wars. If you come to my depot everything is always for sale so help yourself. You will find that we use some symbols in the chat to make things easier. I'm sure you will pick it up pretty fast. I will keep monitoring this forum to hear back from you. Looking forward to seeing you in the club.
