Hi There
Today, 23 October 2024, is a special day for my dCity gaming journey because it is the first time I start playing this game. I know this game from long time ago in 2021 but I was busy with #Splinterlands and #Risingstar Game that time.
dCity is a city simulator game based on NFT you have, so the game starts anytime actually but today is the first day I decide to get some.
The driving force why I play this game is because I see some of my friends on Hive here playing it. I see the token is quite stable for one of the oldest game on HIVE, so I think I should give it a try. So here I am, playing this this game!!
Ugly Start
Because this is a city simulator game, what I had in my mind was very simple. Go get a house, get a citizen, and get a place for them to work. It's a no brainer move anyway...
I bought an Apartment for people to live in, getting some scientist so I had citizen in my city, then finally a shopping mall where they could work. It's a funny combination which I asked those scientist to work at shopping mall, selling stuff to themselves...
however this did not work like that.
You see, the truth this game is not about exactly what a city simulator is. This is a numbers game, which we play with number from reading it then optimize what we can do to get them better. It's my fault not to read their manual before buying NFT(s), which you can found it here:
https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@dcitygame/dcity-manual
Basically the numbers is about how much earning we can get, which is $SIM their ingame currency and their government token too in a single token.
The income, or how much you are earning everyday is calculated based on the number of population (POPULATION) you have and how many of them who are working (WORKER) in a building to make that building productive generating Income.
That's the basic, of course it will not be that simple, but bottom line dCity is a numbers game, what your card saying doesn't matter, the numbers that matters!!!
So to prevent my city losing more $SIM, I have to get another card to make my city numbers better. So here I get a GYM there
So here how my City become after I get those 4 NFTs
So here are my homework to fix the number on my city:
- I have literally 0 Sim Power. This city seems like a land of Pleb
- My city generates 0 SIM. It is pathetic, isn't it?
- It needs 3 more citizen to make my Gym running.
- I need some creativity to make the last reddish 0 to turn into Green light
What's Next?
So here is my next plan. When I have some money HIVE, I will buy some people cards which have creativity point. It will directly kill two red light on my city, then everything will become green and I will be happy right?
Well that's too simple. I found out something else that I should set as my longer term goal
I just noticed that if I could get into top 400 by Income, I could claim a young citizen everyday. That's awesome!!
People on Top 400 by income are people whose Cities are having 12 $SIM income, and they will get 12 SIM bonus with a young citizen NFT every day. This is something that I should aim and I understand that I will need 13 $SIM income, one point higher, to secure my place on that top 400.
So my todo list are these:
- Get 3 population with at least one creativity point. I think I know which cards I should get with minimum $SIM needed, I will share it next week
- Try to build 13 SIM income. This is the hardest one, I know that number won't be easy to achieve. Will I manage to achieve that next week? I don't think so, but I am eager to see how far I could reach or how near I could get to that goal.
Thank you for coming by and reading my post here. dCity is a city simulation game on Hive Blockchain. It works based on the second layer Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) on Hive-Engine. Those NFTS represents in-game assets, can be a building, a citizen, a park, a background and many more.
