A few tips on how to build your village
How the game works
There are the following resources in the game:
– مال (أحمر). Money is earned by selling goods, and is used to build and upgrade buildings, research technologies, إلخ. Money is easy to come by, and if you need more, just go to the bank and take out a loan.
– Tickets (purple). These basically represent political favors, and are earned by missions and selling goods at the dock. Tickets are used primarily to purchase building materials that you can’t produce yourself, such as glass, pipes, rubber, and wires. This is probably the hardest resource to come by, so you’ll want to minimize the amount of materials you need to purchase.
– Fame (أصفر). This is earned by achievements, البعثات, and selling goods at the freight station. Unlike the other resources, fame is not spent, بدلاً من, it accumulates, and the more fame you have, the more types of buildings and upgrades you can unlock.
– Electricity and Water. Produced by water towers and power plants. Note that you’ll start getting buildings going idle, starting with the cement factory and steel mill, when either water or electricity use is around 80-90% capacity.
The missions
– هناك نوعان, the regular missions, these don’t have a time limit, and sort of act as a tutorial, guiding you to build things in a logical sequence.
– The newspaper missions where you have to produce a large amount of a good and give it to the central government for free. These are time limited, typically 1-3 شهور. Not all of them are realistically achievable.
Upgrading buildings
– مستوى 1 buildings produce 1 good per time period.
– مستوى 2 will shorten the period it takes to produce a good.
– مستوى 3 will increase the number of goods produced to 2.
– مستوى 4 will shorten the period it takes to produce a good.
– مستوى 5 will increase the number of goods produced to 3.
وما إلى ذلك وهلم جرا
Upgrading buildings gets expensive fast, requiring lots of building materials you need purple tickets for. I would recommend only upgrading the buildings that you automate.
Housing
– لعبة مبكرة, the traditional style houses are cheap to build and don’t require imported materials.
– Late game, once you have enough fame to unlock, build the mid-rise long “barrel style” buildings. The initial build only requires 1 imported material, زجاج, and it’s a more efficient use of imported purple ticket materials than upgrading the traditional buildings.
– The highrises use a huge amount of imported materials and are not worth it.
Dealing with the feral hogs
– If a feral hog runs across an agricultural production tile, it will interrupt production and cause it to go idle.
– Feral hogs don’t affect warehouses, cement, steel mill, housing, power plants, or water towers. Therefore to efficiently protect your farms, locate them all in the same area.
– There are some map tiles, especially those at the edges, that are never affected by the hogs.
Winning the game
– I don’t think there is a victory condition, though unlocking all the buildings and getting your admin building to Level 6 comes close.
