对于广大CityVille玩家而言，能量是他们每天追逐的游戏指标之一。在社交游戏CityVille中，玩家从事任何活动都需要消耗一定的能量，不论是建房子，收地租亦或是收获庄稼。以下，游戏邦向广大玩家简单介绍在CityVille中收集能量的4种不同途径，分别是购买，请求，访问和等待。

购买

在CityVille中玩家可以购买能量，这是最商业化的一种能量获得方式。当玩家能量不足时，CityVille系统会自动弹出提醒，首先会建议玩家向好友请求能量，而第二个弹出窗口则会建议玩家使用CityVille Cash购买能量。由于Cash在游戏中十分难得，因此大部分的玩家都不会选择这一方式。然而，如果玩家有闲余的CityVille Cash，那么选择购买能量也未尝不是明智之举。

请求

向好友请求能量是大部分CityVille玩家最常用的一种能量获取方式。因此，在各种社交网站游戏中，玩家必须与好友保持良好的互动，因为游戏中的各种任务都需要好友的支持才能迅速完成。

在此，游戏邦建议玩家向当前在线的好友请求能量。如诺向不在线的好友发送请求，玩家则需一阵好等，您是否有耐心等到好友上线呢？

访问

另外，帮助打理好友的城市同样可以获得能量。在CityVille中，玩家访问邻居好友的城市，帮助其照顾作物，收地租等将可以得到金币和能量等奖励，这可谓是赚取能量的最快捷方式，但当然好友的任务也有做完的时候。

访问好友城市在赚取能量的同时，还可以提升好友对玩家的好评，下次好友访问玩家的城市时相信同样也会伸出援助之手。

等待

最后，充分利用了上述三种方式的的玩家只能选择等待。每隔几分钟，CityVille系统会缓慢恢复一定的能量。玩家可以静待几分钟后继续自己的城市发展之路。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

If you ask any CityVillian (yes that’s a term I made up) what they need the most on any given day, they will most likely tell you  that they need ENERGY. To accomplish anything in CityVille, a CityVillian needs to have an available amount of energy. Want to build a home? You’re going to need energy. Looking to collect rent? Better have available energy. Think harvesting your crop won’t require energy? You obviously are not a frequent CityVille user, maybe you’re not ready for this article.

In this article, I’m going to discuss four different ways to collect more energy in CityVille: purchasing, begging, visiting and waiting. I recommend trying the the below options in the order they are presented.

Purchasing

As any CityVillian knows, purchasing more energy is the most marketed way to acquire more energy. When a CityVillian is low on energy, CityVille immediately prompts a pop-up to let you know that you’re low on energy (not like you haven’t noticed that already). The first pop-up suggests to request energy from friends (which we will get to later) and the second pop-up suggests you purchase more energy with CityVille cash. Since CityVille cash is hard to acquire, most CityVillians do not chose this method. However, if you have some extra CityVille cash laying around, it may not be a bad idea.

Begging

Begging is probably the preferred method of acquiring energy by most CityVille gamers. As with any social networking game, keeping good relationships with your friends is a must because you must rely on others to complete tasks: your post office will need employees.

My quick tip for begging is to look for CityVillians who are currently online at the time you need energy. Sending a request to friends who are not online means that you will have to wait to acquire energy from them, if they even decide to send you any. Waiting to receive energy may not be the best option for true CityVille addicts.

Visiting

Don’t forget to help your friends out! By visiting your neighbors, you can receive coins and energy! Visiting your neighbors is probably one of the fastest ways to acquire energy, but you will eventually run out of tasks to do for your neighbor. Reviving crops, collecting rent and sending visitors to other cities, are all jobs that need to be completed by for your neighbors. Not only is visiting other cities good for you personally, but it’s also good for your reputation. The next time one of your friends visit your city, they are more inclined to help you out when you are in a time of need.

Waiting

Waiting is the last thing any social gamer wants to deal with, however, it is an option. Every few minutes or so, CityVille will credit CityVillians with energy to their account. When the above three options have been exhausted, waiting will be your only option left. Sometimes it’s just best to suck it up for a few minutes and watch the medicine drop from the IV.（Source：Socialtimes）
