Politician Archive

City Hall.

Bajeezus,

I haven't seen this anywhere so maybe it needs to go in the FAQ.

I was recently levelling my second char up through politician, had a few votes on that char. The city cycle came through and as designed the encumbant won the election and my other char was removed from the race. I went back and re-enrolled for the next election, and I noticed that all my votes from last week wereinstantly transferred to me (same number as last week), and taken from the mayor.

It seems that the game remembers who voted foryou last week and reapplies them to you if you choose to re-run again. This makes it much easier for people that are running a multi-week campaign for mayor, to try and get votes. They just need to keep re-running and adding new people to their supporters, and they don't need to continually bug people that have already voted for them.

Looking to do some reorganization around my city. Have yet to be able to find a good reference for footprint sizes though. I know at one point someone had an excel page that listed most stuff, but it seems inactive. The big one I'm trying to figure out right now is the footprint for a Rebel Detach HQ. Any help would be appreciated, and should maybe be included in FAQ since we really end up just being urban planners.

What is the weekly maintenance cost of the Garage?

Thanks.

What does a hospital and theather cost each week??

You may run against the incumbent mayor. Citizens must actively vote for you to get xp. You may lose the election and you will still gain xp. The incumbent mayor gets voted for automatically, so you will have to register each week and have some citizens vote for you. For example, your city has 100 citizens - 51 vote for the incumbent, 49 vote for you. The incumbent gets 5100xp for the week, and you get 4900xp for the week. You can do this every week in order to gain politician skills to replace the old mayor. This is unnecessary however as long as your city has what it needs in order to get by until you get the necessary skills. The best way in our guild was to let me win politician since everything was in place and we had an awol mayor. This way I get all the xp each week, making my climb much faster than sharing the votes. A novice politician is always better than an awol one ...

Hi all

I have made a small excel file for citys so you can calculate the taxes so it fits your city.

Please feel free to post te corrections.

Hmmmmmm Darn Geocities, they removed the file....... will be back with a new loc.

What happens if the current mayor surrenders the novice politian skill? Does the city hall dissapear?

To continue the XP question.. how do you even get politician XP so you can become a novice politician? It looks like the only profession you have to get experience for before you can pay for the novice level. There must be ways to acquire the XP before you even start the city.

The xp needed for novice politician is the same as is needed for all master titles. You have to be active in other professions in order to become a politician, basically you have to teach others your skills and earn apprentice points, 500 of them in order to qualify for novice politician
