Your City
Citizens & Income
Your citizens earn gold every second. More citizens, more gold.
Population
The Citizens counter on the HUD shows living citizens / your population limit. You start at 12 / 12.
- Buildings with housing raise your limit, up to 720. See the Population column on Buildings.
- New citizens move in over time while your city is at peace, until you reach the limit.
- Citizens also build your buildings, so a bigger population helps construction too.
Passive income
Every living citizen adds gold to your Resources automatically, every second.
- Each citizen earns about 3.3 gold per minute.
- That's the same for every citizen, so doubling your population doubles your income.
| Citizens | Gold per minute |
|---|---|
| 12 | 40 |
| 30 | 100 |
| 60 | 200 |
| 120 | 400 |
| 240 | 800 |
| 480 | 1,600 |
| 720 | 2,400 |
Raids
While your city is under attack, income drops to 75% and no new citizens move in until peace returns. A red CITY UNDER ATTACK badge appears at the top of the HUD; click it to jump to your city.
Shelter your citizensPress H in City View to send citizens into shelters during an attack. Sheltered citizens still count toward your population. Press X to send them back to work.
Barns
A Big Barn produces 10 gold every 5 seconds (120 per minute) on top of your citizens' income, and keeps producing during raids.
