Hi Everyone, I have started playing the DCity game for a few days now and thought of sharing about my city.
First of all below is an image of my city
Looks great, or not, you all let me know.
My Start
So, When I started I was unknown of the mechanics of this game and just bought some random cards for 800 SIM each. I bought in small numbers and kept buying at intervals. But I still didn't know of the game.
I initially started to collect sim by exchanging HIVE for SIM and adding to pools. The pool earnings were low, as I kept only 4 hive worth of amount. Then I got to know about holding SIM tokens also works. But I didn't know, that holdings for 30 days are calculated on average.
So, I kept buying and spending up to 10K and sometimes more to keep the earnings.
So, back to DCity logic, I read some posts from users on the Hive blog as well @ecoinstant who wrote really nice posts to explain the logic. You can check out the post from below link

My strategy
After I started understanding the logic of income and taxes. I started working on it and bought some cards on market instead of buying random cards.
Some important cards I bought (some dropped from random buys)
- Law firm - 10 tax refund
- Lawyer - 10 tax refund
- Professor - tax refund
- Student - tax refund
- Soldier - tax refund
- Policemand - tax refund
- Economist - tax refund
- Eco activist - 2 tax refund
- Church - 1 tax refund
- Sick citizen - 1 tax refund
So, if you have income only, you will not get anything. But if you have one of those cards, you get a tax refund which is actual income. The maths really matches real-world economics. One needs to have a strategy to earn profits here or he will be just wasting his money with negative income.
For now, I am trying to focus more on increasing the population so all my cards can be used. As you can see of only 207 cards, I have only 193 actives. This is because I still don't have enough people to work in the buildings.
One way to increase the population was to buy cards like
- Basic home
- Luxury home
- Apartment
- Clown (Popularity bonus) (This card is hard to get as prices are very high)
- Nature zone
and some more.
Popularity bonus gives you extra population
Another way is to have technologies unlocked which only gives discovery a chance for unlocking technologies,
or buying directly from the market spending extra without waiting.
There are a lot of things to discuss Dcity, but I would write in another post later.
Also, I have unlocked the Asia background for my city, which looks really nice.
This makes the city really cool. I have bought these from the market but you can get them free by increasing the creativity to a minimum level and increasing the chance of a drop.
This was all for now. I hope you all must have learned something. I would keep sharing stats and strategies about my city.
Thanks, everyone.
