CityVille Pedal of Honor Timed Goal

Share

Apparently, the Race Invaders Timed Goal in CityVille went over fairly well, as Zynga has followed that up today with a new timed goal called Pedal of Honor. Also referred to as “Leader of the Pack,” this goal is only available to players level 50 or above, and has three tasks that must be completed within three days for the ultimate prize (but we’ll get to the prizes later).

Ask 20 friends to join your Bike Crew
Send 100 Tour Buses
Collect from Water Bottling Plant 2 times

The Water Bottling Plant is a community building that costs 125,000 coins to add to your town, and requires you to staff it with 12 friends to open. From there, you’ll be able to collect from it once every 24 hours. While you’re waiting for the Water Bottling Plant to “recharge,” you can add friends to your Bike Crew by posting a general wall post, asking all of your neighbors to help at once.

If you’ve got really receptive friends, you’ll be able to finish this goal within three days, rewarding you with the Gold Trophy. Along with this shiny trophy, you’ll unlock a Cyclist Statue, 28,000 coins and a Boulevard Apartment. Don’t worry, even if it takes you longer than three days, you still have a chance at the shiny Cyclist Statue, as the Silver Trophy also earns one, along with the 28,000 coins. Unfortunately, if you earn just a Bronze Trophy, you’ll only receive the 28,000 coins, and none of the other goodies.

If, for whatever reason, you don’t like to be rushed, it’s presumable that this goal will remain available indefinitely, offering you the Bronze Trophy prize, as is the case with the Race Invaders goal which is still available. Should a time limit come into play with this one eventually expiring entirely, we’ll make sure to let you know.

CityVille: Super Grain Elevator offers a major storage boost at a high price

Share

Hey CityVille players – are you looking for a way to increase your maximum Goods storage capacity, without building tons of space-wasting Barns and Silos? How does the idea of increasing your storage capacity by 1200 Goods with a single item sound? If you like the sound of that, then be sure and check out the Super Grain Elevator in the game’s store. Available only for a limited time, this Super Grain Elevator allows you to increase your maximum storage by 1200 Goods, all in a tiny 2×2 space on your land.

Of course, such a convenience doesn’t come cheap, as the Super Grain Elevator costs a whopping 55 City Cash. Still, this lovely purple building (what? purple is my favorite color) comes with a great storage capacity, and could even allow you to remove other storage buildings entirely to increase the amount of space you have available for more crop plots or even businesses and homes. There’s a lot of give and take with this one; you give Zynga a lot of money, but you take a lot of storage (and potentially land space) back in return.

Does that make it worth it? Ultimately, you won’t have forever to decide, as this one has been marked as being available for a “limited time” in the store. Of course, it would be helpful if we were told exactly when it will expire, but for now that information hasn’t been made available. Your safest bet would be to purchase one sooner, rather than later, if you plan on eventually doing so, just to make sure it doesn’t leave the store before you have a chance.

Earn Free City Cash

Share

Just a heads up – there are several ways to earn FREE City Cash right now in CityVille. Always keep a lookout right below the game and on the “Earn City Cash” tab as well.

After completing the free surveys, polls, Bill My Parents, and Free City Cash offers below the game, I earned about 200 free City Cash.

Should help with all those complaints about items costing City Cash. Remember, it costs Zynga money to develop and maintain CityVille. They are a business after all.

Automation Cars and Trucks will reduce the number of clicks you will need to use when collecting and supplying. Cars and Trucks will cover a range of properties and allow you to collect or supply them all at once. The first of these automation tools will be the Rent Collector!

Requirements:
Have reached level 35.
Have gas and energy available for use.

FAQ:
Q: How to I obtain gas for my Rent Collector?
A: You may request gas from friends by posting a gas request on your newsfeed once every 8 hours, collect gas by helping your friends that have requested gas, or purchase gas with city cash. Your gas can will also regenerate over time. You will also be rewarded some gas for completing your rent collector quest!

Q: Can I store my Rent Collector in my warehouse?
A: No.

Q: What happens if I accidentally delete my car?
A: Vehicles that are deleted will go back into your inventory. Once deleted, you will no longer have access to this tool.

Q: Is there a limit on how much gas I can have in my inventory?
A: Current inventory limit is set to 50. (Exception: Cash purchases will allow you to go over 50 limit)

Getting Started:
Locate your new automation tool on your tool menu.

Place and build your Rental Collecter.

Requires:
5 energy to build
Hiring 2 staff members to activate.
You may send requests to friends for help or purchase staff using city cash

Using Auto Collectors:
Be sure your car or car/truck is placed adjoining a sidewalk or a road to activate usage.
Once car/truck is placed properly, you will have access to new automation tool on your tools menu.

Click on your rent collector in city to access your Automation Tools Menu
You will see your available Gas, have opportunity to purchase more gas or ask friends for gas using this panel.

Collect Rent:
Select automation tool and hover over an area of residences where you would like to collect rent. Your automation coverage area will be highlighted in yellow. Click once to collect rent on all highlighted properties!

Note: Automation will require 1 energy and 1 gas for each house collection. Example: For a coverage area of 5 properties, you will need 5 energy and 5 gas.

(Optional) Once automated collection begins, you may elect to use the stop collection icon on your panel to end automation process before all rent is collected.

Don’t worry about the locks! More Automation tools will be coming soon!

Guide For The CityVille City Works Upgrade

Share

It appears that Zynga has finally listened to those who were stating that the upgrade process in CityVille is very boring and the company decided to add a twist for the upgrade process of the latest upgradable building in the game, the City Works. If you want to find out everything about the new mechanics, check out my CityVille City Works upgrade guide!

First of all, it’s worth noting that you can only start the upgrade of the City Works when you reach level 9 and you have a total of 1150 population. Once you get there, simply click the building and you will see the upgrade menu. You will need upgrade parts to complete it, as seen in the image below:

You can collect the required items by asking friends or paying with city cash. Once you get your City Works to level 2, the new building will support 650 population and will have an improved look.

Things are similar if you want to upgrade the City Works to level 3: you will need a new set of upgrade materials and the level 3 City Works will support 1,050 population.
