[Guide] Cities in DC12

[Darkstar1592]

Cities

• If any of you were around for DC5 or earlier, this may seem familiar
  
• Cities can be built and gain prestige and glory through a tier system
  
• A staff member must approve your city before it can be ranked up
  

How to Rank Up

• To rank up to the next city tier, you must meet all the requirements of that tier and have a staff member judge your town.
  
• If the staff member determines that your town is eligible for rank up, they will grant you the bonuses of that tier
  
• You must then update your city tier in your forum post to complete the rank up

Were you the one to come up with the cities plan for DC4/5?

I'm fairly certain I did, I remember needing to sleep on the idea because it was stressing me.
