I figured out a special achievement....first class builder is having one of every (not special buildings you buy with dollars though) entertainment building in your city.

Well done on working that out supermagnolia.

Well done on working that out supermagnolia.

By extension, I assume that Elite Builder will require having every building purchased with cash.

I take that back - I have every entertainment building that can be purchased by cash.

Ok first thing is I am under 61k pop now. Because of the advance notice of what was coming I produced all my granite. So when I needed the beams, I would go days without a single one. I struggled to get one here and there. Then one day I was fast fingering in the zone, and accidentally sold all my granite by accident. Then it seamed the dam broke and I was getting 3beams a day. And this last quest with the tower, 30 books and 1500 energy, I held off collecting energy for the valentine project. I have 8 book stores and was not getting any books, maybe 1 every other day, now that the valentine thing is over I started gathering the 1500 energy. Low and behold I'm getting books in fact I finished up in two days.

I would agree with this. I always do mine together and they always flow quickly. I got three silver beams on my first day of collection. Pop down to 63k.

The Top Player is placing in the top three of the contest.

Does anyone actually achieve any of these? Whenever I actually try, I am always way behind everyone else. You either need to use coins, or else buy a lot of factories.

I've never won it, or finished in the top three, but have been in top hundred a few times (without using or buying coins) - you need to chose contest that you have a lot of buildings for.

Among the best is placing in the top 100 in the daily production contest. The other is placing first in one of those.

Oh man, those both sound tough to get! Thanks for the info!

You're lucky! I do my tasks concurrently and have had no such luck. I now have 6 books, but it's been days to get them. I still need over 1000 energy too.

Cool. Thanks. Does it include the ones that require rubies?

Also, thanks to this forum, I'm down to 7000 pop.

Nope, just the ones that take coins. Hot dog stand, donut cafe, baseball court (lol at court not field), etc.

The elite builder eludes me though. In the picture it has a tv station (space needle looking thing), night cafe and sun cafe but I built those and did not earn the achievement. Stumped on that one.

Ah, I didn't see your post on this until after I wrote my last comment. Smarty pants I think you're right!!!

Lol whoops again. This forum is different on a iPhone, can't see all posts at once do you have the ruby buildings too?
