About dCity

dCity is a mathematical and trading game based on non-fungible tokens available on Hive-Engine. Players build their own cities with tokens representing buildings, citizens, and technologies, and earn income in the form of HIVE (based on ranking) and SIM tokens (based on city income). There are also cards that players can get only from playing the game, such as technologies, backgrounds, and prevention cards.

Updates

Social support multiplier

Social support multiplier increases social support by (income tax/100)*3.

Social support is currently a grey area and a forgotten mechanic, reduced from base income, which is almost fully taxed. Additionally, social support numbers are currently very low. These changes will increase the importance of social support in the game and bind it to the SIM price. This may also encourage players to diversify their assets, as relying solely on high social support cost citizens might become more challenging.

Loading

There is still loading stuff to clean up. We need to return all loaded citizens to their owners; some of citizens are already dead. Temporarily, we have hidden the option to combine Bones because people see their loaded citizens as available for combining on the interface.

Incoming Changes

In the near future, we are considering new developments to the game, and SIM BOX collection drop.

  • Young Citizen claim for Communal Housing, Luxury Street, Migration Center
  • Education, mining technologies rework
  • SIM BOX NFTs collection drop for SIM Club members, including:
    1. 1300 Chaos Legion packs
    2. $2000-$4000 in Splinterlands cards
    3. Small dCity collection

Looking forward to the changes and drops for club members, really cool that the game is still around and maintained.

These are welcome changes to the Dcity. I especially like the new citizen tax collector and the stats it offers. Cheers

Keeping things interesting

The tax collector sounds very cool except for being majorly unpopular! They would be eaten alive in my city.
