Seriously tho, I feel like this is dcity 2.0 in the 3rd dimension.

Maybe. I didn't really think about similarities to dcity until the design was most fleshed out already. We could lean a little more in that direction if it's what players love and crave, but that's not the current roadmap.

But more like 4th dimension, because time is a much bigger factor than it was in dcity. Signup order, birth order, cycling in/out of leaderboards as fertility ebbs & flows. It will take time for players to master, and I'm sure there will be emergent complexity that I don't fully anticipate, just like there was with Hive SBI.
