Nope you are not the only one. Silver hasn't changed, still 6 to one, but turtles are 4 to 1 now.Not the end of the world, but I planned 15 turtles, which at 3 to 1 gave me 5 per day. At 4 to 1 its 3 3/4 per day. I guess my biggest irk is that there was no announcement made, it just happened. I guess I could do another turtle and make it 4 per day but why waste a challenge?

Also of note, you are the only one who has responded so does this mean its only happened to the two of us?

It looks like it's the same for all of us.

I planned making 15 bronze ones but I'll just do at least 20.

And after I finnished my 32 bronze building (I build them for additional  population boost) now I need 5 tokens for 1 boost. Again without any notification whatsoever... 

Yup every time you turn around this game screws you.

I signed up for free and I ain't gonna pay to play!!!!!!

If you look at the dates of these replies it didn't start all of a sudden it started at different times and points in the game.

Soooooo they plan to screw you from the start!

I need 13 pieces to make a cheetah token now.  It's been steadily increasing from the original nine ... is there a cap in sight?

Does anybody know what causes it to increase?  Is it due to how many tokens you've created and/or how many epic buildings you've created?

Ever since the upgrade or the release of the Contest of Mayors, it has been taking 5 turtles to make one bronze speedup. Silver has increased to 8 and cheetah has stayed at 10.  The problem with turtles is having to make more of them to compensate for the increase. It takes only a few minutes to reach the first tier and then you are stuck for another 23 hours and 55 minutes or so until it ends and then another 12 hours to start another epic challenge. Plus it seems like I am using less bronze as they are soooo slow compare to the silver and gold. 

And yes I would complain if they hung me with a new rope...

I am convinced that it is in direct relation to how many epic buildings you have.

I just finished my 7th cheetah building a few days ago. 

Prior to my 7th cheetah building I had.....

2 turtle

6 llama

6 cheetah

Under this configuration it took me 3 turtle pieces, 6 llama pieces and 10 cheetah pieces to get 1 token.  This was the same before and after the Mayor's Contest update.

Upon completing my 7th cheetah building, Llama went from needing 6 pieces to 7 pieces.  I need to pay closer attention to the other two to see how many pieces it takes.  Llama just stuck out like a sore thumb because I was at getting one token per day and I missed it by 1 piece.  I thought the pieces required was changing as I was adding new ones, but couldn't confirm it until now.  I believe I started with Llama only needing 5.

I have read another thread where someone said they wrote EA about it and got a response back that said something to the affect of yes, the more you have, the more is required, but it will top out at some point and not go any higher.  Although they did not tell him when it would top out and quit requiring more and more pieces.  So for that, I have no answer either.

I have basically stopped playing the epic building game it takes away from building my city, you constantly keep throwing your useable inventory at one building for  a day then you get back into the game and here goes another one same with the mayors challenge.

I'm not on face bleck or twit and don't really care.

I still have the first version of  sim-city and saved an old computer just to play it every now and again, Still love it.

sooooooo I just keep playing my way and get pissed when they change the game to gather in more money.

they ain't gettin any of mine. don't tell me it's free to play then make it so I have to Pay!
