Re: Epic challenges can be too challenging !!!

I actually enjoy the challenge. And no it's not impossible as plenty of people have already made it to cheetah level on the project. With a decent amount of planning, you can make it.

I see time and time again that people start the epic project with practically nothing stockpiled, and then they wonder why they can't make it. My strategy is this: stockpile everything that is rare on the market, or takes forever to make (refrigerators, frozen yogurt, cream etc) and ditch everything that you can manufacture relatively quickly (nails, wood, plastic) as well as things that are super common on the market that you can just buy. Max out the storage to 350, have 150k in simoleons on hand and you should have a fighting chance to make it to 160. 80 would be no problem if you follow this strategy.

Try it out. See if it works. I hope to get my first cheetah token tomorrow once my storage is full (I've been stockpiling for a week now).

    I personally agree with the OP. The lvls, especially when you first start on those Epic challenges are extremely difficult to get.  Unless you waste a ton of real life money to get the items needed.  

    I suggest making them not so challenging the first time or 2. Then raise the difficulty.

    It's been a few months since I first complained about the epic challenges.

    And thanks to the helpful suggestion of "stock up before you start," I've managed plenty of cheetah buildings along the way (and also discovered that the number of pieces to make a token has increased steadily since - now I need 13 pieces to make a cheetah token)..

    Having spent all my time on epic buildings has left me with a slight problem:  I'm running out of regular buildings to upgrade.  Epic challenges don't seem to apply to any buildings other than the original building type (Tokyo, London, and Paris buildings have yet to be flagged for epic upgrades)..

    So you stockpile both items and simoleons which you say has taken you a week just to get 1/9th of a cheetah token. So it will take you 2 months to get the 9 pieces to get 1 token and ultimately 18 months to have enough buildings that will give 5 tokens (which is the maximum) in a 24-hour period. I'm assuming a person would need to dedicate a lot of time to do this. Games should be played in a person's

    spare time, not take over the person'so life.
