Avast, ye landlubbers! So ye have a hankerin' to be a city mayor in these waters, do ye? Forget yer fancy sim-city notions—this ain't about buildin' walls. This is about influence, coin, and power over a bustling port. Mark this well: only "allied" cities hold elections, and the path to the mayor's chair is paved with gold.
How to Seize the Title
Every month, a city holds an auction for its honorary mayor. Ye find the date with the city official. For the first election, the one who invests the most ducats wins the title for a month. After that, if a new top dog outbids ye, they take it. If not, the next mayor is chosen by chance from the next four highest bidders.
- 2nd highest: 40% chance
- 3rd highest: 30% chance
- 4th highest: 20% chance
- 5th highest: 10% chance
The Bounty of Being Mayor
Why fight for it? The perks are worth their weight in pieces of eight!
- Trade Goods & Local Specialties: Buy more, sell for better profit. A fine trick for movin' exotic goods.
- Bank & Check Handling: Up to 20% less in bleedin' fees when ye handle yer loot.
- Tow Permits: Purchase more permits than a common sailor (15 vs. 14).
- Ship Rebuilding: All in port get a 10% better chance. But you, Captain Mayor, get a mighty 25% increase!
- Weekly Stipend: Collect coin from the city official each week (up to 6.5 million). Titles like "Great Honorary Mayor" can double that haul!
Keeping What's Yours
Ye can't just win the title and sail off! To keep it, ye must stay active. Log in daily and, mark me words, keep gainin' fame, even if ye be maxed. Slack off, and they'll strike yer name from the board 'til ye invest anew.
Unlocking the City's Full Bounty
The city's full favors aren't given all at once. Ye must prove yer worth by raisin' the city's activity or yer own contribution. Do this by loggin' in daily, gainin' a heap o' fame (20-30k), or investin' a king's ransom (500-600 million) in the port. The perks unlock in this order:
- Trade goods amount
- Local specialties combo
- Bank fee discount
- Tow permit increase
- Ship rebuild for all
- Yer secret, superior ship rebuild chance
So there ye have it—the short chart to mayoral power. It's a game of gold, glory, and keepin' yer name feared and respected in the taverns.
If ye hunger for the full chart—every detail on elections, investment, and how to rule yer port like a true king of the coast—then set yer course for the complete log.
