MEGACITY

The world ended. You are the Commander of a megacity housing nearly one million people in hundreds of districts of crumbling concrete, humming reactors, and questionable plumbing. You didn't build this city, you inherited it. Half the infrastructure predates the collapse, two factions want you dead, one wants to worship you, and someone in Sector 7 has declared their hab-block an independent nation. You are part mayor, part warlord, part bureaucrat. The only thing standing between civilisation and total urban meltdown. You are not paid enough for this. This is not a city builder. The city already exists. Your job is to stop it from killing itself. WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO MEGACITY is a dystopian idle/strategy management simulation with the depth of a spreadsheet and the soul of a 2000AD comic. You govern through edicts, policies, espionage, diplomacy, military force, and the occasional act of bureaucratic desperation. Resources, crime, factions, weather, morale, trade, corruption — all simulated. Plus the persistent rumour that the rats have organised. Deeply systemic, darkly funny, and will ruin your evening in the best possible way. THE CITY: 300 + districts — administrative sectors, industrial zones, slums, reactors, water treatment, and hab-blocks described as "affordable, functional, and only slightly depressing" ~1, 000, 000+ citizens — workers, elites, criminals, mutants, clones, and a statistical minority who are genuinely happy. Resources — Credits, Food, Water, Power, Steel, Goods, Fuel, Medical Supplies, Ammunition. If any hit zero, something terrible happens. If several hit zero simultaneously, something cinematic happens. FACTIONS: 10 rival factions (plus 2 hidden), each with leaders, intelligence dossiers, and opinions about how you're doing (badly, mostly): The Authority — order through overwhelming force and reduced sentencing MegaCorp Syndicate — corporate oligarchs who view your budget as a suggestion The Eternal Flame — nuclear-worshippers who consider safety protocols blasphemy Mutant Collective — the irradiated underclass demanding equal rights. Plus underground geneticists, wasteland warlords, tech-zealots, and more And 13 external megacities and nations — from the gleaming fortress of Nova Pacifica to the Iron Khanate's nomad empire to Mega-Habana's neon-soaked Caribbean coast. Trade. Spy, destabilise. CRIME & ENFORCEMENT: 200 crime types across 16 categories — violent, financial, narcotics, cybernetic, genetic, biosphere, and crimes so new the legal system hasn't named them yet. 60 named gangs with full intelligence dossiers — history, ideology, territory, rumours. The Neon Reapers are bruisers. The Church of the Machine believes flesh is sin. The Memory Merchants will sell you someone else's childhood. Deploy soldiers, enforcers, and riot mechs. Or don't and see what happens. RESEARCH & INDUSTRY: 550+ technologies across 31 categories and 5 tiers — from power grid maintenance to orbital weapons platforms, plus a dedicated Statecraft & Shadow Ops tree 840+ tradeable commodities on a dynamic supply-and-demand market with regional scarcity 257+ contracts across 32 categories with 165+ supply chain recipes 100 licensed corporations across 10 sectors — MegaBuild Corp: "Fastest builds in the sector. Don't ask how. The cracks are cosmetic. Mostly." 303 weapons & ordnance — sidearms to nuclear warheads, with deterrence vs. maintenance trade-offs. YOU'RE THE COMMANDER. You aren't just a cursor. You're a character with stats, skills, and a growing list of regrets. 5 attributes — Authority, Intelligence, Charisma, Combat, Endurance 12 skills — Leadership, Tactics, Diplomacy, Black Ops, and more Perks every 5 levels across Command, Warfare, Economics, Administration, Espionage Dynamic titles — City Commander → District Warden → War Sovereign → Apex Commander → Eternal Marshal 112 cybernetic implants across 6 body regions, up to the experimental Transcendence Core Reputation tracked across 5 axes — Mercy, Fear, Transparency, Populism, Stability.

Injuries happen. Loyalty shifts. The occasional spectacular failure is educational. Inner Circle — 8 advisory roles with unique perk trees and a whisper feed that alerts you to threa
