CITY LAWS!

City Law

City Law adds a living city dimension where crime has consequences. Citizens go about
their day, police patrol the streets, and if you break the law you will be chased,
restrained, escorted to a courthouse, tried, and sentenced.

Getting there

Find a City Pass in any village chest (30% chance), then right-click it. The pass takes
you to the city and brings you home again — it is never consumed.

The city

Streets run unbroken in every direction, with lots laid out between them:

• **Courthouse** — judge's bench, spectator seating, and the defendant's stand
• **Prison** — cells, a solitary block of indestructible alloy, and a few ways out for
  the resourceful
• **Police station** — holding cells, an armoury
• **Hospital, fire station, bank, shops, apartments, houses, parks**

Every district has a courthouse, a prison and a police station within roughly 200 blocks,
so justice is never far away.

The people

• **Citizens** — wander, flee danger, and trade goods for cash
• **Police** — fight monsters, taser suspects, break down doors during a chase
• **Doctors** — throw healing potions at injured citizens
• **Firefighters** — respond to fires and douse them from a distance
• **Assassins** — hunt citizens and players at night, and set fires
• **Judges** — preside over your trial

Crime and punishment

Hurting citizens, killing them, robbing the bank vault or setting fires raises your crime
score. Witnesses matter: if a citizen sees you, they call the police and the response is
immediate.

Crime score	Restraint	Outcome
1–10	Handcuffs	Payable by fine
11–29	Handcuffs	Ordinary cell
30–49	Rope	Ordinary cell
50+	Rope	Solitary confinement

When police catch you, they cuff you, confiscate your armour, and **walk you to the
courthouse** — no instant teleport. At the stand you are held in place while the judge
hears the case, then sentenced.

Serving your sentence

• **Labour** — work the cell cauldron to cut your sentence
• **Escape** — there are ways out of an ordinary cell. Get caught again and it costs you
• **Solitary** — reinforced alloy, no tunnels, restraints stay on. Bring a bomb

Paying your debt

Crime fades slowly on its own, but you can also make it right: put out fires, or donate
cash to citizens.

Items

• **Handcuffs / Rope** — visible restraints that lock your hands, inventory and controls
• **Taser** — drops a fleeing suspect at range
• **Bomb** — the only thing that breaks reinforced alloy
• **Cash** — dropped by citizens, used for trade, fines and donations
• **City Pass** — travel between the overworld and the city

Hideouts

One house in five hides a trapdoor to an underground assassin bunker: beds, supplies,
weapons, and a contract table. Stand near it and the police lose your trail — useful when
you have just climbed out of a cell.
