Let me introduce you this game. I will recite from the official dcity manual post that you can check for more information about this game in their post https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@dcitygame/dcity-manual

dCITY is a city simulator game based on Hive-Engine Non Fungible Tokens. The NFTs represent assets in the game. Each individual card a building, citizen, etc., and the total collection of your cards is your city. dCITY allow players to optimize their cities in terms of buildings, population, and income. The aim of the game is to buy new buildings, but also use diplomacy and tact with fellow players to achieve the materials you need to grow and prosper. Obviously, there are several ways you can approach this, but we’ll let you learn them on your own and test them out.

This is a numbers game, but with the added randomness of society. There will be events which can have either a positive or negative impact on your city, depending on how your city is built. Choose wisely when helping or refusing to help another player. They might need your help today, but you never know when you might need their help in the future.

Young Citizen is Such a Heavy Weight

My Idea about getting more young citizen are backfired because I don't calculate the social support.

What is Social Support ?

So it's an additional cost for the citizen that we have, and as you can see, those young citizen cost 1 SIM each, and there is multiplier that cause it even more.

Thats the multiplier my city got, so those young citizen not only reduce my income but also gave me another weight on social support 😅

Economist is Solution

When learning about this, my friend suggest to have more economist in order to gain more income without burden with the social support.

I tried to simulate it and got my income spike high , probably because the workers are now enough to activate another building, but the income result more minus 😅

Since tax refund are not shown, I just tried to buy it anyway,

My current income reduce, but max income is getting higher, and so my potential for tax refund is getting higher as well. So in my case, I think this economist is help pretty well. I also realize this economist is having realy nice stats, because could give population addition, income, and tax refund, plus the popularity. Such a great all positive stats citizen.

What I've Learned So Far

Before I close this blog, I wan't to share one last important things for the new people that want to play this game and for myself as reminder. I would like to put some point that I've learned about this game :
1.Citizen have it's own life, once they meet their limit of NFT minted, the old one will dead. So it's better bought the newest id of citizen;
2.Building have no expired, so they will long last;
3.Put NFT on market and you will lose it's effect on your city. This can help you to offload the dead citizen or other cards with negative effect;
4.Top 400 from SIM Income will get you free mint for the young citizen NFT from Dcity discord channel using --claim at the bot-commands section.
5.Always look at ID of citizen when you want to bought them, because the system won't remove them even they are dead already on selling process, you might get dead people instead.
6.You can check your city value by using !city_value on Dcity discord - cityhelper channel.
7.You can do a simulation before getting a card to see it's effect with simulation tools at the city-simulation tab on Dcity site.
8.There is auction function where we could get cards with lower price than the market.
9.Beware of social support for each citizen, because it will reduce your income!

Next Step

Now I think about getting more economist, and reduce my young citizen as well. I will try to look for more tax refund cards because I still got some spare. I will makes sure to check the social support before getting new citizen 😂

Final Words
