Hello, thanks for visiting my game.
Decree is a city building game set in ancient Greece where Zeus has decreed a hoard of sheep be slaughtered in his name. However, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon are all competing in this regard as well. Race to beat them, by any means necessary.
City - You start with one of these. Direct all final resources here.
Farm - You'll want plenty of these. They produce sheep which, when delivered to the city, increase your sacrifice bar.
Market - Sell sheep here to turn into coin. Don't forget to route it to your city! You'll want more of these in the beginning to build up a healthy income.
Grain Silo - This small building can connect up to two farms, greatly enhancing their output. Invest here later in the game.
Thieves Den - A dastardly building that steals resources from your opponents. Supply it with money from a market and then connect it to an opponent's farm or market and watch them go. If you also route it to your city, the thieves will return their loot to your coffers.
Buildings don't do anything on their own. They must be routed. Use the routing tool to connect two buildings. If you change your mind, press Escape to exit routing. Routing costs 2 coins.
WASD - Move camera
Escape - Exit building or routing; quit tutorial
While there wasn't too much time to balance this game, Hard should be challenging. The game goes longer, the speed is increased, and your opponents start with a sizable leg up. Don't stop building and routing! Let me know in the comments if you bested Hard - the AI is fairly sporadic!
