How to Play

Player

Level

Level of the player represents the "strength" of the player. Levels are gained through experience rewards. There is no maximum level allowing the game to be ever scaling. A level can directly effect the difficulty of the game as various mechanics may rely on it for their difficulty.

Experience can be gained through:

  • Unlocking/Upgrading/Building Town Structures
  • Gathering Resources
  • Completing Missions/Orders

Blood Thirst Meter

The thirst meter represents the player's need to feed on human blood. A full meter is a full vampire while an empty meter is a very thirsty vampire. The consequence of an empty meter is the loss of citizen count equal to the vampire's level (One towny loss per every player level). The player will also experience the loss of 0.10 times the number of levels in currency to pay for the loss of citizens. The amount of blood needed daily also depends on the player's level where 10 units of blood is needed per every level. A level 20 vampire will need 200 units of blood to be sustained and will lose 20 townies upon an empty meter

To learn more about the resource: Blood scroll down to resources.

Fun Fact: The average human is around 10 units of blood (1.2-1.5 gallons) - American Red Cross

Inventory

The location for all of the player's resources excluding Blood and currency. Maximum allowed space depends entirely on the built structures in the player's town. To increase the maximum allowed items in inventory, upgrading and purchasing Storage Facilities is required. The player initially starts at a maximum of 500 items allowed in inventory.

Currency

This is the driving force in upgrading the player's town. Currency allows the player to purchase structures, resources, items, and upgrades. The form of currency evolves alongside the town and it's technology.

  • Medieval Era: Coins
  • Other Eras TBA

Pizza

The player's main focus should be to make pizza to attract tourists to their town. Pizzas can be made through resources gathered by town efforts. Pizza isn't an actual inventory item but instead recipe lists and how many pizzas can be made with each.

Technological Era
