What role do the most "faithful to the colours" play in Copa City?

Hi everyone!

You’ve surely noticed the announcement of another club joining Copa City – Borussia Dortmund. The fans of this club are known for their incredible displays and spectacular tifos, like this one:

Studying the reality of the club and the culture of football fans led us to the development of “club demographics” – which we mentioned in one of the previous posts. This led us to give a special role to ultras – as one of the key groups of fans in the game, having their own specific roles and functionalities.

This group of fans of a given club does not only have certain economic characteristics, which translate into needs that the player must meet in the game world by building structures. It also has active functions – for example, the player is able to order a so-called “Raid for the opposing club’s flag”, which in the short term may improve the statistics of a given district, but is risky – because in the event of an unsuccessful raid, it may significantly reduce security in a given district, and thus the player may lose control over the organization of the entire event.

This type of mechanism may cause an increase in tension between clubs in the city, which may result in the need to build additional police structures or solve specific decision quests. Making the wrong decision in these tasks may also be the reason for losing control over security, and thus excessive use of this mechanic may lead to failure.

We have introduced the ultras functionality to express how diverse and colorful the fan community is in Copa City. We hope that this type of action will be appreciated by the gaming community, and Copa City will become a more credible game thanks to them, which will provide players with a lot of joy and satisfaction.

To sum up - Ultras – strength, but also risk

Fans in Copa City are not only statistics and economy – now ultras appear in the game, who can dynamically influence the situation in the city. What does it mean?

🔥 “Raid for the flag” – you can order your ultras to take over the rival club’s flag. A successful raid improves the atmosphere and control over the district, but... if something goes wrong, the security level drops drastically. In an extreme case, you may even lose the opportunity to organize the event!

🚔 Tensions and consequences – rivalry between clubs can lead to increased tension in the city. Too frequent actions may force the construction of additional police structures or solving difficult decision quests. Wrong decision? Chaos in the streets, loss of security and the risk of defeat.

🎭 Multidimensional fan community – Copa City is not only stadiums and finances, but also the culture of football fans. We want every football fan to feel that the game world reflects real stadium emotions.

This is just the beginning!

We hope that you will like the new functionality and that together we will build an even more fascinating Copa City. Let us know what you think – will your ultras be loyal support or an uncontrolled element?
