Keep in mind that when you place Specialization Buildings in your city there is a note in the information pertaining to that building called, "Epic Points". It typically reads as follows:
- Name of Building
- Area
- Boost
- Spic Points
- Price
The "Epic Points" will be either 1, 2, or 3. These buildings will always and ONLY award their respective point value during Epic Project events. So, a Grade School, being an "Epic Points" build of 1 Star will only award 1 Star point, no matter what the type & quantity of the item requested is. An Expo Center will only award 2 "Epic Points". The Empire State Building will always and only reward 3 "Epic Points" per Task.
Placing higher quality Specialization Buildings in your city will make achieving higher tier Epic Buildings much easier. Of course, having a stronger production and greater City Storage for pre-Epic Project preparations goes a long way too. Also, plan on starting an Epic Project with around 125k-100k Simoleons.
