RE: Buying Casinos and Music Stores On DCity

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Music stores and casino don't give new citizens, but they increase your popularity. And total population depends on your popularity. When you need to reduce unemployment, you must choose cards with low popularity. It's actually quite easy to compute with an excel spreadsheet.
Be aware that casino increase crime rate too.

I see... so if population increases, does that mean that there's no need to buy individual worker cards?
Ah, that explains the increased crime rate. I was wondering what happened to increase that.

In fact you don't really need workers, citizens are enough to fill a job position. You can use either homes, luxury homes and apartments to increase your population.
( I don't say worker cards are not useful but the other cards give SIM returns in addition to the population increase)

By the way, you can compute the effect of the popularity effect as well.
The dcity website tells that the popularity increases population like this :
bonus = ( popularity ^ 0.68 ) * 100 (in %)
So the total population would be : base_pop * ( 1 + ( popularity ^ 0.68 ) )

The exponant value was recently reduced : it used to be ( popularity ^ 0.7 ).
The change is not much but it had a big impact on my population, and left me with many empty job positions.
