The building that will be aided is selected according to the 'aid priority list': Aid Īid is an action that can be performed from the Social Bar instead of going into the player's city and manually selecting 'Motivate' or 'Polish'. The Visitor will receive a coin reward (amount depends on the visitor’s age) and has the chance to receive a blueprint for a Great Building from the polished building's age. When chosen, the game will show which buildings can be polished by displaying a star over those particular buildings. Polish is an action that increases happiness to twice the normal amount on players' happiness buildings (cultural buildings and decorations). The Visitor will receive a coin reward (amount depends on the visitor’s age) and has the chance to receive a blueprint for a Great Building from the motivated building's age. When chosen, the game will show which buildings can be motivated by displaying a star over those particular buildings. Special production buildings however may only be motivated when all their production options are supplies.

Most special residential buildings can also be motivated - usually doubling the coins output and adding special productions. It doubles the coins production of regular residential buildings and doubles the supply production of regular production buildings/workshops. Motivate is an action that improves the production of a building for the current production cycle. An example of the visitation action of a friend where there is no polish possible.
