Capital City and Olympic Games

hello, all.

i would love to see the following updates below enlisted, to be implemented into Rising Cities game , but also these updates shouldnt ruin the single player, solo managemnet of each player's city by himself.
these updates should be an alternative , for those of us that want sometimes to play in groups with other players.
also same updates i present here , if they will be implemented, i dont wish them to be the only gameplay style ingame.


number 1 : Capital City = county or shire of cities.
this will include ability for 1 mayor to create (with cost of some CC and/or other materials) a Capital City, then he can send invites for other 19 mayors ,to form a total of 20 mayors that will access via a special mission the Capital City map. this map will have land with plots and the members of this county will contribute with food, building materials, cc , pp and other items so that they can build a new city from zero and expand this capital city.
after the Capital City has a minimum of required buildings , then emergency system can be started and mayors of this Capital City can send their specialists to resolve emergencies and thus to win medals.

-stage one will consist of constructing some type of buildings that unlock winning of bronze medals from copper events. (Copper Era , aka capital city level 1)

-stage two will consist of constructing next better type of buildings that unlock winning of bronze medals from bronze events. (Bronze Era , aka capital city level 2)

-stage three will consist of constructing next better type of buildings that unlock winning of bronze medals from silver events. (Silver Era , aka capital city level 3)

-stage four will consist of constructing next better type of buildings that unlock winning of bronze medals from gold events. (Gold Era , aka capital city level 4)

-stage five will consist of constructing next better type of buildings that unlock winning of bronze medals from platinum events. (Platinum Era , aka capital city level 5)

then rewards can be something like Hybrid Commercial Buildings.
i've been thinking at this from long ago, i would love to have such thing , guess all mayors would love such thing. a Hybrid Commercial Building would be something like a mall or hypermarket.
for example : vegetable stand + hollywood dinner + bread basket could form 1 such Hybrid Commercial Building.
other rewards, i cant think of them right now, but maybe other mayors or devs , can complete this idea.

the Capital City that consists of the maximum 20 mayors , must have a real time text chat window.

also, Capital City must have :

- a bank , where we can see the cc and pp gathered from donations made by mayors of this county/shire.

- a warehouse, where we can see the food and building materials gathered from donations made by mayors of this county/shire.

- a market, where server can let members of this county/shire to exchange goods (for their own cities) at specific minim and maximum prices.
why to buy 1 brick from global actual market for price of 900 cc, for example, where low limit is put by server at,let's say, 780 cc per piece ,
when i can buy at capital city market from a high level mate that sells it to me at minimum price said by server , the very same 780 cc per piece ?

all these 3 buildings (bank,warehouse, market) will be constructed from zero with donations made by Capital City members.
these 3 buildings will support group events such as: robbery at bank , fire at warehouse , etc.

the creator of the Capital City, shall be ranked in member list as a governer.
the governer with the use of MM can expand member list from 20 to 40 or 60 members.


specialists that mayors send them into emergency , can use boosters like :

- hamburger for policeman (for cost of MM ) , that boosts one's specialist ability with 10% (costs CC) , 20% (costs MM) or 30% (costs MM) .
example : hamburger (10% boost) , hamburger+RC-Juice,a Rising Cities own trademark , (20% boost) and double hamburger+ketchup+Rc-juice (30% boost).

- for firemen , we can have : water (10% boost) , lemon water (20% boost) and menthol flavour chewing gum (30% boost).

- for doctors , we can have : croissant (10% boost) , chocolate (20% boost) and coffee (30% boost).

and all these boosters to be produced also , in capital by the members of the capital city, via production units, or for those with too much MM in their pockets, these boosters can be at shop , also available.


number two: Olympic Games for all Capital Cities.
this will consist of introduction of sports and sportsmen , like the specialists , where sports are like emergency events , thus mayors been able to play as groups vs groups in order to win medals that give beter and better rewards (maybe more epic residential improvements , cause thats what id love to get as rewards more often).
sport events would take place in Olympic Arena , where also, groups must bring their classic specialists too; policemen, firemen and doctors, cause same as in real life too , here in Rising Cities also we need policemen on stadiums , along with firemen and doctors.


p.s. : thanks all for reading this. i wait constructive criticism only and hope that BP will make these update idea alive, if more mayors agree and apreciate these ideas. i love RC as i played it until now, but i say we need more multiplayer too.

 

I think that's the longest post I've ever read here.

 

interesting idea.
Q1: What stopping the top 20 players to make a cap and max everything in a day or two? Wouldn't want to do an Olympic against them.
Q2: What happen if someone quit playing, do he get kicked or do the cap get gradual deserted? If kicked what if he start playing again (or get back from vacation) and the cap is full, do he lose his place and investment in the cap?

 

it is an interesting idea and definately has some merit

 

Reminds me of a game I used to play called gnomenations( left it and found RC ) you built you own city that people could help you build and protect from monsters you could trade goods for coins(what CC is in RC) or rubies(what MM is in RC) the key was to make a few friends and work together

 

thanks , norton.
well, i wanted to explain in details as much as i can.
i really want this idea to be on devs' desk and make it alive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for q1 :
server will have to balance teams that are playing one vs another , taking in consideration each team's stuff (abilities, specialists, level of buildings, etc)

for q2:
if cap is capital city, then i must say , Tellus, that teams are like any guild/clan in any other game, aka is always a risk who you team with , but is always a hope that team resists in time with full number of members and with same members that founded the capital city only IF those members socialize , help each other ingame and understand well amongst themselves on team private chat, or any form of communication.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thanks, skippy. cheers.
i still wait more replies on this discussion, so we boost the chance that devs hear this idea i posted, as well ,and to make it a number 1 update in the future.
what else to say? fingers crossed.

come on, all mayors : please, we need more ''like''-s for this

 

Some sort of ladder then. Yes that can work.

Aha guild/clan thingy that make sense.

 

I think it could be a really good thing and I like the idea of a clan. Would really,
really like this to happen and think that it could help other people on RC see what they could eventually bring to their city if they work at it.

Same here and totally agree that all the detail is worth it!!!

 

While I agree that team work is fun, all long term team games I remember from my past required a lot more of you in terms of time and devotion. And I usually left such games very quickly. What I like here is just the oposit. If I leave it for a week, nothing happens. When I come back just pick up where I was and go on. That's the type of game for me. So I would personaly vote "no". Not because this is not a good idea, but because I determinedly resist being devoted to a game. I have much weightier RL issues to be devoted to.

 

Turel97 's idea just adds to the game. It gives you more options to play without taking anything away that is in RC already. Its like building the bridge to the coast you don't have to do that just like you don't have to do capital city(if they decide to make it)

 

Well, maybe. Usually not taking part in these team activities brings some major disadvantages. So I'll stay with my "no" personal oppinion.

 

possibly if the dev team goes with this idea they could give a option to those that dont want to participate in this the right of purchasing a mountain area for further expansion

 

It would actually knock my point off if Capital City was one of two equally valuable options for further expansion. Although it's not likely to happen. I think if they go on and invest all that labour into writing the code they'll make it available for everybody, probably just level unlocked. Don't get me wrong, that Capital City is a smart idea, especially if implemented skilfully. It's just my personal life preferences that make me take a rather sceptical view of it. Still, it could be done in such a way that even I would happily go for it.

 

at least devs should think that game is called Rising Cities.
to rise is to grow vertically.
so we need hybrid commercials with level cap of 7 or 8, not 3 as they are now. or hypermarkets as we call them in real life.
this would save plots , thus no more extending horizontally more than needed and no more a crowded city we would have.

horizontal upgrades is the opposite of vertical upgrades.
horizontal is like melting.
we got more and more Hollywood Dinners in events, ok cool that we get it, but why to have more of these of level 3 , when we could expect that commercials to be available for vertical upgrades til level 7, or 8.
one commercial of level 7 would save plots , instead of 2 commercials level 3.

so, yes , hypermarket stores are needed, with level cap more than 3 as they are now, so that we can feel we are a part of a rising city, not a melting city , upgrading horrizontaly.

and a hypermarket store would also have more than one item to sell.
at level 3 could sell 2 items , level 4 selling 4 items , level 6 selling 6 items or something like this.

 

I like the idea of a capital city idea. Group play could be a challenge.

I also like the idea of having the commercial buildings upgrades beyond level 3.

Another alternative: How about the creation of the big box retailers combining multiple buildings a combine Fruit stand, Hollywood Deli, Bread Basket, Beer Garden, etc. This could be a 3 X 2 or 3 X 3 structure a smaller foot print than the four individual structure but having the same effect as the four smaller on residences as the smaller structures.

 

i agree that game has potential, but what you have posted there Turel is not an upgrade, but a completely different and new game. maybe you should work for Bigpoint.

i for one still have alot to do before maxing out my city potential. guess you are really bored with this game if you want that many "improvements"....

 

no thanks, i like my job where i am now.

and also am not bored with game, i just posted some ideas that would make all of us mayors benefit from, not only me.

 

I like these ideas,great post
