Council Room
Only City Council members or Mayors have access to the main room of the Town Hall, the Council Room. In the Council Room, important decisions are made which have impact on the fate of the city.
1. City Information
Here, the City Council members and the Mayor can access the information that is also available in the lobby.
2. Choosing the City Expansion
The Mayor and the City Council decide which building to expand. Unless a vote is currently in progress, the Mayor may initiate one at any time. After completion of the current expansion at the latest, a vote is started automatically.
During voting, the current building project is continued. If it is finished before voting has concluded, the building with the currently lowest expansion level is the next one to be expanded. If various buildings are on the same expansion level, the building with the most donations so far will be continued. Should various buildings tie for the most donations, expansion will follow a default order.
The order is:
Town Hall, Arsenal, Bank, Church, Bathhouse, Assembly Hall, Market Square, City Wall, Library, Park.
After voting has concluded, expansion of the chosen building project continues. If the Mayor initiates a vote, votes must be cast within one week. The voting is cut short if all votes are cast before the week has passed. If no votes are cast, voting concludes after one week, and the building project continues normally. The voting also ends after one week (at 12:00 noon CET on the 7th day) if not all eligible voters have cast their votes; in this case, only the votes cast are counted.
3. Distribution of the City's Gold
This function is only available to the Mayor. Using a list of inhabitants, he/she can selectively distribute the city's gold among certain citizens of the city. He/she can also add one comment per transfer (20 characters maximum). This comment is shown in the Gold Distribution chart (e.g. "tournament victory").
What the gold is used for is up to the Mayor. For example, it can be used to support citizens in need, or for city tournaments.
The amount of gold received each week by the Mayor depends on the expansion level of the Town Hall.
| Level | Production | Culture Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 gold per week for distribution by the Mayor | - |
| 2 | 24 gold per week for distribution by the Mayor | + 12.5 |
| 3 | 36 gold per week for distribution by the Mayor | + 12.5 |
Important: To avoid nepotism, the gold distribution is made public via announcement in the lobby of the Town Hall. Therefore, the Mayor should deliberate well how to invest the city’s gold.
4. Sending Announcements
The Mayor can send important information to the citizens of the city (for example, an alert regarding the barbarians or the announcement of a city tournament) by using the normal Message-Tool in the upper Button-Bar. For the Mayor this tool has extended options.
The Mayor can decide which user groups he/she wants to send a message to:
- All Premium users
- All citizens of the city
- The City Council members
In addition, the Mayor can flag the message to indicate if it should also be posted on the bulletin board (default: yes) and if it should be sent to users with a certain language option (de, en, both). All messages may have a length of 1,000 characters maximum.
