Introduction
Welcome to dCITY. This a game about creating your own city on the Hive blockchain. dCITY allows players to optimize their cities in terms of buildings, population and income. The game is based on Hive-Engine NFT tokens which are represented assets in the game.
Requirements
To play this game you need Hive account and Hive Keychain
Starting
Head over to the dCITY website and login using your Hive account name in the upper right corner. This will prompt you to use Hive keychain to log into your city.
Once logged in you will be able to see your city.
On the left side is your SIM token income, employment numbers, chance of new residents, and crime rate.
SIM Token income: the value of tokens your city earns each day. This number is based off the assets (cards) you hold.
Employment number: certain cards require workers. If you have too many people and not enough jobs the number impacts the amount of SIM you earn per day.
Chance of new resident: this is a calculation on the probability that a your population will increase without the purchase of a card.
Crime Rate: this negativity impacts your city. Immigrants and homeless cards increase this statistic. If you have a high crime rate you may get robbed which reduces the amount of SIM you get that day. You can decrease your crime rate by buying certain cards.
Ranking Tab
The rankings tab is important. The goal of the game is to increase your ranking by increasing your population. The higher the rank the more rewards you get per day. The top 200 players receive daily rewards on top of their daily SIM tokens.
Buying Cards
There are three ways to acquire cards the first is with the buy tab. Here you pay 4 hive for a random card. You will use Hive keychain to compete the transaction. The second is via the market tab.
Market Tab
Here players can list their cards for sale per their preferred Hive-Engine token. This tab can be used to get specific cards. You can even get cards for less than 4 hive if you don’t want to take the chance on the buy tab.
Auction
The third way to acquire cards is by winning the auction which is held in the main city screen.
Events
There are also events were you can spend Hive tokens to increase you stats. This is just another level that’s been added to aid in your city development strategy.
Strategy
The aim of the game is grow your city. This is accomplished by buying random cards for 4 Hive or going to the internal market or action. At first my recommendation is to increase population by buying basic homes and then buying businesses to grow into your population. Sell you daily rewards to buy more cards to maintain and increase your rank.
