Greetings Founder,
The Council has been impressed lately by how well you’ve maintained your city and remained productive, even in the face of new—often fiery—obstacles. But it seems the struggle for dominance is never over. I've managed to procure some valuable intel on some upcoming changes you might encounter. I have many investments riding on your success after all.
COMING SOON
Rival Corporations
As I’m sure you are aware, you are not the only enterprising Founder that we have here on Titan; you may soon find yourself encountering Rival Corporations during your ventures. Each of them will have their own unique goals and will be growing their cities right alongside yours in order to achieve them. To accommodate all of this growth, the amount of accessible land has increased by 26% to 72x72 plots.
However, this means that they also face the same challenges that building a business on Titan necessitates, such as fire, pollution, and those pesky rebels–though any rebels who are attacking your rival will at least not be hostile towards you, and vice versa. While the Council doesn't currently sanction violence between rival Founders, I'm sure you'll find a way to gain the economic upper hand until the time comes when you are able to resort to such measures.
Advisor Chat
Word is that you should be expecting to hear from some more of your advisors to “shoot the breeze”, as it were. It simply would not do to allow yourself to become distracted from your goals, however, so if ever you find yourself too busy to listen to them, you can always dismiss their call and chat with them later or listen to any missed messages via your Codex.
Though I should hope you are never too busy to accept my calls, Founder.
Fighting Fire
If you’ve fallen victim to rebel attacks as of late, you may have noticed that structures on Titan are highly-flammable. But never fear, The Council has reason to believe that the spread of fires will be much more manageable going forward:
- Fire will now spread at a linear rate as opposed to exponentially, so fire will never spread faster than 3 buildings at once
- Extinguishing a building’s fire now reduces the strength of any adjacent flames
- It will now take twice as long for a building to be able to reignite after being extinguished
In addition, extinguishing fires will no longer cost credits, and Dr. Braxton Daw has discovered new tech for you to make your roads immune to the flames.
Until next time, Founder.
- Demi, Council Representative
