[[City]] abandonment is the primary reason for city [[decay]]. Cities must be visited by an [[avatar]] to prevent abandonment. A [[morale]] penalty begins to grow 7 days after the last visit by an avatar who is online, starting at zero and increasing by one every 7 days. At first, the morale penalty is not significant. In time, the morale penalty outweighs all positive morale factors. This inevitably causes the population to dwindle to nothing.
[[City]] abandonment is what slowly causes an abandoned [[empire]] to [[decay]]. While this can be worrisome at first, it is actually easy to avoid as long as the empire is managed correctly, utilises the new [[Land]] system and the avatar's [[account]] remains active.
 
==Cause and Effect==
[[Cities]] and independent buildings that aren't designated as an avatar's [[Land]] start feeling abandoned if no [[avatar]]s have passed through the system for more than 2 days. See [[#Abandonment_Prevention|Abandonment Prevention]] below.
 
Building abandonment begins three days after:
# an online avatar was last present in its [[Solar_System|solar system]] or
# it stops being protected by the [[land]] designation of avatars.
On the 3rd day this starts as a -1 [[morale]] penalty which will then decrease by -1 every day thereafter.
 
Once a building is abandoned, it is subject to decay. Up to three abandoned buildings in a city will decay at each city report cycle. Decayed buildings are listed on the city report. Probability of decay increases as the negative morale modifier increases.

Some cities have immunity to abandonment:

* Non-capital cities are immune to the abandonment morale penalty while they have a [[Sector_Capital City|sector capital city]].
* Their [[Solar_System|solar system]] is designated [[land]] of an [[avatar]]. They're protected from abandonment while the avatar's [[account]] remains active. Empire of the avatar or the buildings is not a factor.
* Sector capital cities are immune to the abandonment morale penalty while the empire has an [[Empire_Capital_City|empire capital city]].
* Buildings do not have to be part of a city. All buildings in land designated solar systems are protected.
* The empire capital city does not count as a sector capital city, but a city can be both at the same time.


For the purpose of preventing abandonment, city visitation can be satisfied in two ways:

* '''An avatar passing through the containing solar system.''' All cities and buildings in a [[Solar_System|solar system]] are satisfied by the presence of an online avatar, regardless of [[Political_Stance|political stance]].

[[Decay]] is the final consequence of abandonment. This is because abandonment gives [[morale]] penalties, and the negative morale increases the chance for a building to decay. Once all buildings in a city have decayed, it is gone forever.
 
This is because abandonment gives [[morale]] penalties, and a negative morale will make people leave the city. Once a city has no population it is deserted, a deserted city will start to decay.

==Abandonment Math==
It is possible to calculate the number of days a city can be abandoned before it starts to decay.
MoraleMod = Total of all morale modifiers, including possible abandonment penalty.
APenalty = Current morale penalty from abandonment, if not present it is 0.
ADays = Number of days abandoned, if not present it can be between 0 and 6.
AbandonmentInterval = 7
DaysLeft = ((MoraleMod + 1) * AbandonmentInterval) - (ADays % AbandonmentInterval)
DaysMax = ((MoraleMod - APenalty + 1) * AbandonmentInterval)
<small>''As used in [http://hazeron.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=6867 HazeronAdviser].''</small>
Here is a simple table to show the maximum number of days, depending on morale modifiers. Add together the morale modifiers (excluding abandonment penalties) and follow the table.

City abandonment is what slowly causes an abandoned empire to decay. While this can be worrisome at first, it is actually easy to avoid as long as the empire is managed correctly, utilises the new Land system and the avatar's account remains active.

Cause and Effect

Cities and independent buildings that aren't designated as an avatar's Land start feeling abandoned if no avatars have passed through the system for more than 2 days. See Abandonment Prevention below.

Building abandonment begins three days after:

  1. an online avatar was last present in its solar system or
  2. it stops being protected by the land designation of avatars.

On the 3rd day this starts as a -1 morale penalty which will then decrease by -1 every day thereafter.

Once a building is abandoned, it is subject to decay. Up to three abandoned buildings in a city will decay at each city report cycle. Decayed buildings are listed on the city report. Probability of decay increases as the negative morale modifier increases.

Abandonment Prevention

Cities and buildings have immunity to abandonment when:

  • Their solar system is designated land of an avatar. They're protected from abandonment while the avatar's account remains active. Empire of the avatar or the buildings is not a factor.
  • Buildings do not have to be part of a city. All buildings in land designated solar systems are protected.

Alternatively the abandonment timer of cities and buildings can be satisfied by:

  • An avatar passing through the containing solar system. All cities and buildings in a solar system are satisfied by the presence of an online avatar, regardless of political stance.

Decay

Decay is the final consequence of abandonment. This is because abandonment gives morale penalties, and the negative morale increases the chance for a building to decay. Once all buildings in a city have decayed, it is gone forever.

For more information, see the Decay page.
