help


Here a few tips that will hopefully help you win the game:

map

in this overview you see a few cities, each starts with a random name, population, food, water, followers and enemies. so each game will be completly different and you need to adjust your strategy to win.
at first focus on the cities that are likely to run out of food or water soon, based on their population and stock.

city details

if you click on a city you see more details about it and have a list of possible tasks you can assign your followers to (read below).

followers

assign your followers to conduct tasks for you in cities. you have your own amount of followers in each city.
they will perform the task until you reassign them - or until they die. they are pretty obedient. or stupid.

enemies

some tasks might produce enemies - they really hate you and tell other people how bad you are! the more enemies you have in a city, the more the happiness will decrease over time.

tasks

each task produces different types of output - not all of them are good. if you recruit more followers you might make more enemies as well, for example.
the speed of production depends on the amount of followers assigned to the task.

win

to win the game you must have followers in at least 5 cities and an average happiness rating of 75. yes, that is not easy. make sure to assign your followers very wisely.

lose

if the happiness of a city turns to 0, lose. also, if everyone dies, you lose as well. there is nothing to live for, if there is no one to share life with, right?
