Player City Politics
Mayors Do Not Own Cities. Citizens Do.
Cities are a core part of the SWG Apex identity. They should be public, political, contested, and alive.
Open City Philosophy
Apex cities are not meant to become private locked kingdoms. City zoning is permanently open/off, which means mayors cannot simply close the city and block everyone else out.
- City zoning permanently disabled/open
- Citizens matter more than closed permissions
- Mayor politics should require leadership
- City growth is tuned to be easier and faster
- Future patches will loosen city hall and structure placement
Easy Growth
City rank requirements and update timing have been tuned so cities can become useful faster.
More City Utility
Radius, decoration capacity, trainers, and mission terminal settings have been increased for stronger city gameplay.
Political Gameplay
The long-term direction is campaigning, rivalry, citizen support, faction identity, and real city competition.
