Step 9 — Settle in a city
Cities are player-built places with a market, a treasury and an elected Mayor. We recommend starting in Manhattan.
A city is founded by three players together and lives around a City Hall. Its land is shown in grey for everyone. Inside it you will find the Trade Hub — the market where players sell to each other — and, usually, other people.
Getting there
Menu ▸ Travel ▸ Cities lists the busiest cities with a recommended one pinned first. Manhattan is where most new players start, so it is the easiest place to find company. The usual fare applies.
Becoming a resident
Build a City House on any city's land and you are a resident. That gives you a vote in the monthly Mayor election, and your house is a home away from home. Demolish it to leave. Cities can never refuse a resident.
Taxes
The Mayor sets a hunting tax on kills made on city land, and the Trade Hub takes a fixed cut of every sale. Both go into the city treasury.
