Getting Started

Getting Started

The first thing to do, after agreeing to the various terms and conditions and allowing the game to interact with your Facebook account, is to name your city. This is how it will be identified and introduced to all of your friends, so give it something unique and characterful.

Tutorial

There is a built-in tutorial provided by Zynga to get people into the game who maybe haven't played a city building game before. This tutorial is provided by Samantha, a level 20 AI player (one that is controlled by the computer). You can visit her city whenever you like as she is automatically provided as your first neighbor. To do so, just click on her and select 'Visit'. This is also how you would visit any of your real friends in CityVille.

Starting Screen

You begin the game with 7000 Coins and 5 City Cash. By visiting Samantha (the AI tutorial player) you are rewarded with 100 Coins, 3 Energy, and 1 XP. You can collect this every 24 hours for a single visit.
