An introduction to the game...

The first thing a potential player has to know about CityVille is that the most important asset he/she has is energy. Energy is not unlimited and is gained in 3 ways (during time/collections/gifts) which we will analyse later. When we play, the first thing we have to have in our mind is that all the actions we are doing are limited to the amount of energy we have, so we have to do things that help us grow without spending a lot of energy for. It is important knowing that all the actions that require spending energy can also be done from our neighbors instead of us. It's also very important to know when exactly we will play again. This is because there is a virtual energy cycle in the game (we speak in details in a later post..) so actions have to be seen in that time horizon.
