I'll recite from the official's 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.

Yap, this is a strategy game with complex calculation to get the profit. You need to play it to really know about it 😂

Comparing the Young Citizen and Student

I was excited to get new building before realize that you can only get one free NFT either the student or young citizen. At that time, student got higher value on the market, which is okay cause the addition mean giving higher value reward potential. But lately I realize that young citizen is having more stable and higher value than the student !

Here is the screenshot captured of each NFT.

Young citizen is having highest bid at 601 SIM, and lowest ask of 808 SIM.

Meanwhile, the Student is having highest bid just 531 SIM with lowest ask at 601 SIM.

There is a huge gap between them now. I don't really know the reason why, but on my opinion, the minus income from student is pulling the city back while waiting for them to transformed into the other NFT.

Should I Sell Some Building

This fact is trigger me to rethink about having the building collection, because of few reason :
1.My reward potential is dropped by getting student instead of young citizen;
2.My efficiency is dropped by having the building with low efficiency rate on the worker/income ratio;
3.I could use the SIM from those building to get more usefull cards such as improving my income and tax refund

My Progress on the Leaderboard

Well, there is not much improvement on my city.
I just added 1 eco activist cause I think there is a bargain on the market.

I bought one for 1600 SIM, which give me 2 tax refund. I also claim 1 student todays so my tax refund increased by 1 point as well.

I ended up on 247 position on income leaderboard with 85 SIM income. I saw my friend @arveno is on 251 position with 81 SIM income, while @dewabrata on 266 position with 60 SIM income.

Still follow the race, but I think they will make their move soon, so I better keep upgrade my city 😉

My Next Target

Beside my main target to get into the top 200 on the income leaderboard, I also planned to sell some building with low efficiency ratio for the reason I've explained. I don't know if my income will reduce, because I still got a lot of cards not active due to lack of workers, but I hope it won't affect too much.

Final Words
