@Mrs_Lindie Looks like you got the right idea going. 
Do not dwell on those City Rankings! 
Just stick to your Building Plan to keep your HMP High and your TB Strong. 
I mainly notice “Drops” in City Rankings after the X2 Gem Buying Days! We just had one of those, so that may be part of the Answer?

That very well could be…I don’t think it’s because I stopped building/evolving for a day or two, because as I said previously, I have consistently stayed at City Legend Tier 3-4 for some while now, my TB’s constantly producing amazing yield…Also, and I apologize for repeating myself, but the “stop building/evolving four days prior to the end of the month” recommendation is legitimately included in one of the more popular “tips for beginners, or advance building discussions” found on the front page. I don’t think I read the part about “stopping building until you gain the TB Time Boost” incorrectly. My drop from Legend Tier 3-4 to Legend Tier 6-9 is a big, big drop especially in percentage terms! 
Regardless, as always, thank you for the help!

I read the tips and tricks posting as an “I did it & it worked for me” piece. I’ve also had advice from other players who are doing well in the game and I have seen the benefits available. I stop buying expensive buildings with 4 days to go to the end of the month. On day 3 before the end of the month I buy as much as I can to make it possible to build/evolve monuments in the early days of the new month (so essentially tier 6 buildings) to help keep the value of my green boxes up. My city isn’t very valuable in the terms of how valuable it’s possible for a city to be but it’s serving me well. If my relative position to other players gained me coins towards completing milestones I might care more about it. I’d rather beat the dealer or the odds than my friends

Hi All,
I have collected 9 Tier 7 Rare Monuments.
When I Monument Evolve the 9 Rare Monuments into a Tier 10 Monument, will it 100% evolve into a Rare one?

I believe that’s how it works How Monuments Work

hallo Mrs Lindie 
just to be sure you just use one of the rare T7 to build a rare T10 monument you use the ordinary T7 ones to evolve the rare one If you want to see in what form the different moments evolve just take a look at Jimee her city

I also only evolve my T7 and T10 buildings with only the same kind. For me, I use 2 T8, and 1 T9 to evolve my T7. That way I keep the same kind going. You can see my city to get an idea. I use 2 T6 to create a new T7

I see what yall @papa_meester and @Eddi_Bets are saying. BUT Players should know, when you STOP Building/Evolving your HMP WILL END! Also your City Ranking will Drop Drastically! 
And maybe y’all missed a word in that TIP? Facts are Facts! No opinions here! Your City will become “Static”.
Personally, I have a Constant Building Program that NEVER Ends! 
There is NO WAY or Reason in my mind I should let this happen? Thats just me. I have my “Recipe”! 
We ALL get to have FUN!!! making ours.
On City Rankings… These show the “Production” of YOUR City. If your Production Drops, Your Rank WILL Follow.
Personally I use the City Rankings as a “Tool” to Measure MY City Building “Recipe” against the Recipes of my Fellow Players. Is my Thesis (8L3s Pay > 1L4) correct or not? That is an entire new topic.
It is just more of MY FUN!!! here.
Also @Eddi_Bets I am sure you know but Players do not have to participate, they can turn it Off. Just so they know.
And @papa_meester your interpetation of Tiers is confusing me? From what I see on my screen.
Legend Tiers…
Citys are Ranked by #
Tier 1 = #1 to #64
Tier 2 = #65 to #128
Tier 3 = #129 to #192
Tier 4 = #193 to #256
Looks like about 64 slots per Tier?
Getting up there is quite an acomplishment I appluad you! But as you are seeing, Staying is a little more difficult, Right?

The other thing you should watch for is the number of players listed for the tier was (or is) not always 64. I have seen it as high as 72 players in the tier in the past. And I have seen 68, 71, etc. So I am not sure why they change that once in a while, but wanted you to know that can also alter that ranking.

Yes, I see that also some times. I’m thinking maybe some Collection “Ties”! LOL. 
But 64 is close.
Hi Steve,
Yes I know I could switch it off but I don’t as I am nosey. I drop in the leagues a bit but not drastically, I expect to and it doesn’t worry me. At any point in time someone may overtake me by virtue of their good fortune not because of something I’m doing. If I have one, completing milestones to gain lifetime VIP is my aim
I guess I’m just not naturally competitive

Thank you, Steve! Went back to edit my post so to minimize any confusion…I was speaking specifically of typically being in the Legend Tier 3-4 range, but then dropping to Legend Tier 6-9. Of course, I’ve resumed building/evolving and sticking to the suggested strategies, will be interesting to see how things change in the days to come…Thanks again!

TY PB, The Tier System information you gave me is new to me and helpful to learn. I will look forward to learning more about that as I navigate City Building. Today I am noticing that my LT and ranking # is starting to move down!

Well, to each thier own ways! Just so Players are Aware it is not necessary to do that. 
Especially if it causes you to keep them after the HMP Runs OUT (2Days) if you do not have to. You will get another 2Days HMP for your TB and Bigger Coins/Prizes on your City Collect on Evolving!
I also use the (1)T9/(2)T8 method also to Evolve my L1s(T7) to L2s BUT I Evolve (9) “Commons” First before the “Rare” L2(T10). Then I use those (9) “Common” L2s to Evolve my “Rare” L2 into a “Rare” L3(T15) that I keep to get the Possible Wine/GoldCard Daily. 
I consider these Blues/Greens to be “Common” and try not to keep them much longer than 2 Days. I get a LOT of them.
I keep my “Rares” in Groups of (8) because that is part of my City Building Process. Also they are much more Difficult for me to get.
When I am finished with this “Group” of (8) in “F” I will start on another “Group”! This is my Last “Group” of these.
I do use my “Rares” occasionally in Emergencies. Be Aware if you put ALL of the SAME Monuments/Buildings from your Map in Storage, they will be Pulled out in the Order of OLDEST FIRST back to your Map! 
That is just My Way. Hope it Helps Y’all find yours!

I do that same thing. I evolve with 2 L8 and 1L9 to upgrage my T1 to a T2 by using only the same monuments. Once I get 10 of the same T2, i evolve them into the same monument (when i first started i was evolving any random one)
Only being here since October, my city is doing very well, and for the last couple months I havent needed to by any gems or building bucks. (I only use gems to build with, and Party passes from my city to host parties once I have the extra charm level)

I am confused! 
Why wait to get (10) of the same? 
I am Happy your City is providing well for you!
