The Dossier
1 min read
Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
Travel and cities
What it is
Every city has its own streets and its own jobs. You start in Rotterdam. Amsterdam opens at rank Enforcer, The Hague at rank Lieutenant. There are 3 cities. Jobs and new businesses look at the city you're standing in.
Where to find it
The city sheet in the HUD, at the station.
How it works
Every ride costs 1 energy plus a ticket.
Rotterdam – The Hague: $300, 4 minutes.
The Hague – Amsterdam: $600, 8 minutes.
Rotterdam – Amsterdam: $900, 12 minutes.
When the train arrives, you see your new city right away. You only pay for a trip once, even if you click twice.
Costs, returns and limits
While you're on the train, everything tied to a city is frozen, just like in jail. You can't withdraw cash or collect business income either. You can open Cars and Marketplace to look, but mutations stay frozen. You can still upgrade properties and change the limits of your own casino table.
