My weekly update about the strategic choices I made for my two dcities
I’ve been writing about several aspects of dcity so far, but I would like to add to that a weekly update about changes that I have made. Tutorials are great for understanding a certain aspect of the game, but along side these it is great to also be able to get insights on day-to-day strategic choices from players that are a bit further ahead in the game. That is what I will try to provide you with in these weekly updates.
Currently I have two dcities. One on my main account @elbrava, which you can find here. My aim for this city is to simply grow as fast as possible and enter the top200 of dcities. This will likely require me to invest more money to make that happen.
My other dcity is for my @invest4free account, which you can find here. This second account I set up specifically to show that through being active on Hive, you can become an investor for free. You will actually be able to build an investment portfolio that will generate passive income for you through being active on hive.
This weeks developments are:
@elbrava
For this dcity I have started to not only buy Farms, but since the Education cards are getting cheaper I have started to mix buying Farms with buying Universities and Research Centers. Schools are relatively a bit too expensive I think, but Universities and Research Centers are now often cheaper than 800 SIM.
The added benefit is that my population count grows faster if I mix these Education cards with the Farms. This is because they boost my Popularity rating, while needing more Workers than Farms do.
I have noticed that I am going down the rankings list again, so it is very clear that people are investing with big money in dcity again. Also the daily Hive rewards have gone up, which is another indicator that more cards are being bought.
For invest4free I have focussed more on buying Farms to grow my income and Luxury homes whenever I need to add a bit of Population.
If you have any questions about your dcity about how to improve it, how to grow it more quickly or any other question. Please do ask in the comments. I try to always give a response.
Thanks for reading, do follow me for more dcity and investment content and see you next time!

If you would like to start investing in dcity, because it is fun and very profitable. Or you want to get more hive to increase your investment. Then why not start a Risingstar account?
Risingstar is completely free and once you start leveling up it starts to take less time with bigger rewards. As soon as you hit level 20 you can start to withdraw your Starbits and convert them to SIM that you could invest in dcity. The combination of these two games is a really solid way to generate funds that you can use to invest in other things.
It is a very fun game, with a lively market for the NFT cards that you get while playing. So along with earning Starbits, you will also get cards that you can sell for any Hive-engine token you like.
Check the game out here, I am sure that you won’t regret it.
I have more Population and Popularity than you. But my income is half of yours xD
I am doing something wrong :P
Well, I have been focusing on sim income for the last few month’s.
I’ve sold almost all my citizens, because most of them don’t produce income.
And when I need population for workers, then I only buy luxury homes. Those have by far the best income ratio for the population they provide.
But my secret weapon is the gmo farming technology and buying farms on the market. That combination is more profitable than anything else you can do in dcity if you simply look at raw sim income.
You don’t have gmo farming I see, but any hotel you see on the market for less than 1050 sim is more profitable than anything else for you. Even better than buying 1st edition cards when you look at the average expected outcome of random cards.
And I did sell all my zoo’s and replaced them with farms.
I just bought a University. It looked good with the amount of Workers :D
Its been a while since I have just bought random cards, I mostly just reinvest the Sim :D
So Hotels.
Nice
Oh wait you were referring to @invest4free obviously. There I have even more focus on sim income. My banks provide a lot of income. Here I also buy farms, hotels and luxury homes.
Ye I did hehe.
But any advice is good :D
That it is
You are correct on that, but I want to try and get a central bank combined building after the new edition comes out with my other account @elbrava and that requires 5 banks. Or else I might be able to sell them for more sim then.
And to be honest I like to have them even though they aren’t the most profitable.
