Users Of Facebook - The Cityville Guide

With the ever popular growth of the social networking site of Facebook, so changes our computer gaming habits. One of these changes is to play games which use our network of friends to grow the online gaming experience. This article was written to provide information on one such online game, this is a Cityville guide..

To access Cityville, users first must sign up to Facebook (FB) and use the search function to find the game which is created by Zynga, unless you have friends who already have their own cities, inevitably you will be invited to join their game play experience with an invite to become a neighbor or to add your business to their municipality.

Once all administration for joining the game has been completed, it is time to start growing your very own city. This is made easy through the use of an automatic tutorial which you won't need to search for as it instantly becomes functional upon first access to the game.

Goals are found within the game that help guide you through each level. If you have friends on FB who are willing to help you out by contributing to your city, progressing through the levels will be easier. Understanding some of the key game concepts will make your journey through the online game easier.

Each time you create anything you are rewarded with resources, which bounce into the game screen waiting to be clicked and accepted. The first resource is known as cash and coins which you use to build structures such as houses for you people, community centers and businesses, which earn you more coins and cash through providing a service to the town.

Energy is a scarce resource, it is easily used, though not easily generated. It does refill itself by one unit every five minutes, though the easier way to generate energy it to visit the city's of friends or get them to send you gifts of energy. Use energy slowly and wisely at the start of your game, because before you know it all your energy units have been used and you need to wait five minutes to generate more.

Farms will generate crops depending on the type you choose to plant. The products of the crops are known as goods and displayed in the resources section as well, these are used to supply your businesses and down the track can be used to trade with your neighbors.

XP, or Experience Points are the key resources to step you up through the levels, the more tasks you complete, the more points you will earn. Each new level unlocks more tools to use and businesses to build, crops to sew or functions to add to your city.

Cityville is a highly addictive game, when you first join, be sure you have a few hours to spare, as you are drawn in to the world of little people and the excitement that comes from being nominated as Mayor of your city once you have completed your City Hall.
