dCity's New Broken Mechanics are Ruining the Game.
My popularity was at 550 and my new citizen chance was at 30%. I asked one of my friends that just started out what his chance was and his was also 2%. He only has 55 Popularity... What's going on? I go and check the current whats new at @dcitygame

Aparently they thought it was a good idea to make the population drop rate increase by 50% for each point in war the president chooses 1-10. Why would a whale elected president ever choose anything besides 10 for war? Every whale in the top 10 has hundreds of war credits because they have hundreds of army bases and military complexes. 10 would be max profit to them!
This still doesn't explain why I have a 2% chance to get a free citizen at 550 Popularity and my buddy has 2% at 55? The calculation is off or I"m going crazy.
So this means overnight the difficulty for getting a free citizen has increased by 450 popularity per 1% chance! thats a 1000% increase!!!! I was working for weeks on getting my popularity high enough to get to the 30% cap for population increase, and the easiest way seemed to be forests. cheap easy 4 popularity each card. Now you would need 125 forest cards to get a 1% increase in free citizen chance!!! A couple weeks ago I slowly bought 30 forests and nearly tipped the scale to 30%... I would need 3750 forests to get to 30% on the new 30% cap? I don't think that many forests even exist. This game is broken as hell mow. The difficulty has gone insane.
The only way to fix this is either drop the 50 to 1% increase of difficulty to something really low, or remove war as an actionable event and make it a random event. How long have we been at war since it was created? I'm pretty sure it never stopped or only for a few days?
Whatever I make from this post and any future post about dCity.io will be cut in half and I will exchange it for "SIM" the currency in dCity.io. At the end of the week I will buy random NFTs from the market and give them out at random to people that upvoted, reblogged and commented. You have to do all three of those things. You have to comment atleast a full sentence in English.

Your friend should try Ctrl+F5 while waiting for you to get the facts straight
I was really interested in dcity when i first read about it. Looking for a simcity-ish like game to play. But all these convoluted changes favouring only mega whales are throwing me off -_-
It is a variable game like life itself, you have to play several parallel strategies and hope for the best.
I have to say I'm struggling with it. I'm new to the game and just cant make any headway. There is no fun in it at all.
