Basic terminology

In this section we will explain the terminology used in the descriptions.

1. Needs – Abundance or lack of these can increase or lower your people’s Resolve.

3. Reputation points – they are needed to successfully establish a city.
4. Base resolve – the basic amount of happiness, without any needs fulfilled.
5. Break interval – time between citizens’ breaks.
