Decks

One of the key strategies of Ultrapolis is to master the art of deck-building. While there exist several distinct Mayors and limitless combinations of cards that decks are composed of, there are really only two main types of decks that a player may pursue: Megapolian and Nightlife.

Megapolian Decks
Megapolian decks are decks composed of cards derived from the Megapolis region of the Megapolis game. They are generally cheaper but not quite as powerful or demanding on resources as their Las Megan brethren.

The main benefit of the Megapolian deck is that water and power, with the exception of the rarity of the Improved Power Station, are available equally, for nearly the same cost each. So one does not need to invest more money in either resource to make up the difference, as opposed to the Las Megan deck wherein this problem is present.

One key advantage of the Megapolian deck is the overwhelmingly superior number of cards available to someone who wishes to pursue a Megapolian deck, as there are hundreds of more buildings for the Megapolis region than there are for the Las Megas region.

Nightlife Decks
Nightlife decks are decks composed of cards derived from the Las Megas region of Megapolis. Because the game differentiates between the buildings players can build in Megapolis and Las Megas, it only makes sense to have a Las Megan Deck for the buildings only found in Las Megas, and a Megapolian Deck for buildings found in the Megapolis, Tourist Island, and Rocky Mountains areas.

Las Megan buildings are generally more powerful than their Megapolian equivalents, but are usually more demanding on cost and, of course, resources. They are also rarer and even more difficult to upgrade. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage to the Nightlife deck is that there exist only Fortified Water Towers and Modern Water Towers as water supply resource buildings; therefore, less water is able to be utilized unless either more money is invested heavily in water, or Developments are constructed to produce additional amounts of water.

If used properly, the Nightlife deck can be quite favorable over the Megapolian deck (of course, the same can be said about the Megapolian deck, too). However, one must be very selective about the cards one puts into one's deck if one is using a Nightlife-emphasized deck, as the cards available for Las Megas are significantly fewer in number than of Megapolis.

Frontier Decks
Frontier decks are currently mythical decks, as they are tied to the Space Launch Facility region of ''Megapolis. ''Because the Space Launch Facility is currently nonexistent, the Frontier Decks do not exist, either. It is rumored that the Space Launch Facility will include exclusive buildings, thus exclusive cards, much like Las Megas. More information about the Frontier Decks will be provided when the Space Launch Facility makes its debut in Megapolis. There is no current known release date.
