I am with you on this one Jekstrom.
My strategy is now to maintain my 152.000 happiness, freeing up some of my scarce 13.000 electricity. I am forced to look into happiness / electricity factor. There, the eiffeltower is a killer: 11.000 happiness for 1.100 electricity. That is a mere 100 happiness per electricity. From the waterpark, I get 7.600 for 160 - that is 475 happiness per elctricity.
So, I will now spend some of my hardearned city credit on more building storage, getting the full range (maybe except the electronics factory at first) and having them fully upgraded. Will focus on filling the ship, hopefully with VIP from time to time. Taking the competition from time to time, earning silver medals - those special buildings are great for happiness/electricity factor.
I will also slowly start the attack on the hydro plant - will take me some time though (assume a couple of weeks).
Will start upgrading a tennis court later today - but will need a lot of tools in the coming period from you guys - especially hammers.
Have luckily kept some of the "roadbuilder" achievement, so making an achievement at the Hydroplant should be easy.
For the under 11 level, I will hijack one of the kids, and install the game "for them".
By filling ships, I should get some good credit to justify the investment. Also approaching the 80% achievement, which will give me 25 credits, so the power plant might also be within range - and with that electricity I will become a monster.
But for now: get the high end factories up and running - getting my warehouses loaded with some of their goods, then pickingnthe production lines, which is needed for the vessel - and cherrypicking contest for silvermedals at hand for special buildings, when it fits my vessel strategy.
Placed in the last 3 competitions, and should place today with a little over 200 sugars. Then I have 8 silver medals, and 2 days to place for the last 2 I need for the Arc.
When I get the Arc, I get 1.800 happiness for 50 electricity. That will allow me to destroy 4 donut cafes at 370 happiness - still giving me a plus of 320 happiness. It will also save me 4* 35 electricity = 140, so I free up 90 electricity by this.
