Well, I recently I found out that I have another city (Dimmendelve) in another world (Khelonaar) that I had forgotten about. It's been a few years since I played that one, and, honestly, I figured it had been turned into a "gold mine" by now. But ever since the discussion in another thread about manual vs. auto fighting (where browser players get to actually see the battle) led me to think about trying the browser, this seemed like the perfect opportunity: I could check if this city was still working and, if so, use it to learn the browser operations and try out manual fighting. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was still humming along, right where I left it in Chap 6, with taxes and supplies piled up waiting for collection, and goods falling out of the factories.
Figuring out some of the basic interface processes took some time, but eventually I felt comfortable enough to take a tour.
As I strolled around looking at the layout, I noticed a few odd things:
1. I rediscovered a Set of buildings that must have been in one of the last events this city participated in - the Harvest Temple Set. I only had 2 of the pieces, the Temple Entrance and the Cornucopia Sanctuary, though. I wonder if this set will ever return to gameplay.
2. That event was some kind of harvest one, as I also found a Mushrooms Forest (cul/pop) a Stone of the Stars (cul), and a Harvest Travelers (cul).
3. And then, as I walked near the outskirts of the city, I came across a most interesting sight - a huge music festival was underway, with humans and orcs and elves and halflings and fairies and races unknown all singing and dancing to the wild music. At the Entrance Area (cul), I asked one of the faire goers what was going on, and was told this was the Woodelvenstock (cul/pop) festival, complete with a VIP Lounge (cul/pop) and a Mosh Pit (cul/pop). Apparently this is another Set that I only have 2 pieces of. Too bad this set will likely never return.
4. Just behind the music festival I saw a large Ferris Wheel (cul/pop) turning slowly in the morning sun. But, unlike the ones I had seen recently in my other city, this one was positioned differently (3x2, rather than 2x3) and did not seem to have any production capacity.
Additionally, I somehow got made Archmage of the Fellowship I belonged to back then; it wasn't a very good FS, and I wasn't interested in making it better, not for a secondary city. So I disbanded it, hoping any still-active members would be able to find themselves another FS soon.
I'm not sure how long I'll keep working this "old" city, but it might be fun just to use it to do some manual fighting and learn a bit more about the unit differences.
