Difference between a tier and leveling up?

I guess I never really noticed it before, but I did today - there are two numbers where the star is and right now mine says "Your Mayor Level: You need 104501 experience points to reach the next tier and 1224501 experience points to level up.Your Mayor Level: You need 104501 experience points to reach the next tier and 1224501 experience points to level up."

So, what does that mean, exactly? I guess I know what leveling up mean - it means to go to the next level. Currently I am on Level 36, so I'll go to Level 37 next. But what does the next tier mean?

 

Fairly simple thare are five tiers for every level. As a city reaches a new tier it receives rewards, when a new level is reached the city receives even greater rewards.

 

OK, I am a little embarrassed to say that I had this question before - not that I posted about it, but I wondered about it before and figured out the answer - the little lines dividing the bar are the tiers, right? I forgot what they were and instead of waiting until I figured it out I came here and asked - probably because A. I've been coming to the forum more and B. I've had more time lately to play RisingCities. Yay!

I said all that to say I'm sorry - I didn't mean to take up your time. But thank you very much for the answer!

 

Nothing to be sorry for, we are here to answer questions. You are welcome for the answer. I like when people ask questions in the forum, even the simple ones because you are probably not alone.

 

Well, my problem is that I already knew the answer at some point! And I think I should try to figure it out myself, but I'm glad to oblige for other users.

 

That is fine. I have been there and done that myself

 

I expect you already worked this out Tru, but just in case: whenever you reach one of those tiers, or sublevels, you get a shooting star medal, which you can use in the booster pack shop. They often give very good rewards (-:

Thank you MillerWrox, for an excellent point

Thanks for the link - it actually leads me to another question. I get mixed up so easily. I'm sure I knew the answer to this question at some time, but I don't right now. So that link you gave me ends with you getting Comet Packs, but I don't remember how they are used.

 

You can go into the designer depot and click on the booster packs. There you can redeem your comets for rewards.

 

Got it, thank you!
