Upcoming Balance Changes in Super Citycon: Introducing New Bonuses for Residence Growth in Version 2.0

Dear Super Citycon players,

We’re excited to share some significant changes coming to the game with the release of version 2.0. These updates will deepen the strategic gameplay and add more layers of challenge to your city-building experience. Previously, the game featured a hidden scaling mechanic that could boost your residence amount by up to x10. However, we’re replacing this old system with an innovative set of six new bonuses that together can scale up to x15, offering even more opportunities for strategic planning and city development.

These bonuses are designed to encourage creative building strategies and provide you with more control over how you grow your city. Let’s break down these new bonuses and how they work:

1. Culture, Entertainment, and Recreation Bonuses

These three bonuses share a similar mechanism. Certain buildings, both existing and new, provide culture, entertainment, or recreation points. Each point satisfies the need of 1,000 residents, meaning that to fully meet your residents’ needs, you’ll need to have one point per 1,000 residents in each category. Meeting these needs fully results in receiving the maximum bonus of 250% for each category.

Buildings that provide these points are categorized as:

• Single-Count Bonus Buildings: These buildings contribute their bonus only once per map, even if you build multiple copies of them. They are indicated by the culture icon with an orange checkmark symbol.

• Multi-Count Bonus Buildings: These buildings provide points each time they are constructed, meaning you can build multiple copies and receive the bonus each time. They are indicated by the culture icon with a blue plus symbol.

2. Wealth Bonus

The wealth bonus introduces a new way to evaluate your city’s prosperity. Many buildings, both existing and new, now have a wealth property, shown with one, two, or three dollar signs representing three levels of wealth. Only buildings with a wealth value contribute to the city’s wealth. The average wealth level of all such buildings on the map determines the overall wealth level of your current map. A wealth level of 3 equates to the maximum 250% bonus.

3. Diversity Bonus

The diversity bonus rewards you for having a varied city. Each unique building on your map provides one diversity point, which translates to a 1% bonus. This bonus can reach up to 250% if you maximize your building diversity. However, be mindful: if you build more than eight of any single skyscraper-type building, you’ll face a penalty that will reduce your overall diversity bonus.

4. Loyalty Bonus

The Loyalty Bonus encourages consistent play. Every day you log into the game, you’ll earn one Loyalty Point. If you miss two consecutive days, Loyalty Points will be deducted. You can collect up to 250 Loyalty Points, which will translate to a 250% bonus (one Loyalty Point equals 1% bonus). This system keeps players engaged and rewards dedication. In the future, we may introduce additional methods to gain Loyalty Points more quickly, so stay tuned!

Important Note: Per Map Calculation

It’s important to note that all these bonuses are calculated independently for each map. Your progress and bonus levels are specific to each map and won’t impact other maps. This means you can experiment with different strategies and layouts across various maps to find the most effective combination for maximizing your residence amount.

Why We Made This Change

Our goal with this overhaul is to create a deeper, more engaging economic system that challenges you to think strategically and plan for long-term growth. By replacing the old x10 scaling with these new, more transparent bonuses that can reach up to x15, we’re offering you new ways to optimize your city and maximize your residence amount.

We’re excited to see how you adapt to these changes and look forward to hearing your feedback. Start planning your city layouts and get ready to make the most out of these bonuses when they go live!

Stay tuned for more updates and happy building!
