10.10 Citypowers

Citypowers (councilpowers) is the blanket term used to describe the privileges that one gains by being a member of a city and holding various positions within that city.

You may see the list of powers available to you by using: 

  CITYPOWERS / COUNCILPOWERS

It is important to note that some privileges within a city/council are  represented as a group of powers, instead of specific commands. For example, the set of commands used to interact with city shops is simply referred to as the 'Chancellor' group of powers, rather than setting aside a different power for each valid command in that set.

You may see the entire list of powers available to your city by using:

  CITYPOWERS ALLOWED / COUNCILPOWERS ALLOWED

The powers of a specific position are viewable with:

  CITYPOWERS <position> / COUNCILPOWERS <position>

And the powers available to the aides of a position are viewable with:

  CITYPOWERS <position> AIDES / COUNCILPOWERS <position> AIDES

If you are a city/council leader you can see a few specific citypowers in HELP CITYLEADER/ HELP COUNCILLEADER.
