== Introduction == |
|||
[[Image:Foodforce.jpg|thumb|right|Early screenshot of FoodForce 2]] |
|||
FoodForce 2 has been designed to educate and motivate people to solve world hunger. Since the laptop reaches out to the developing and third-world countries, it also educates children and teachers in a village on how to acheive self sustenance in a fun and non-intrusive way. It also provides awareness about the work WFP has been doing for the past many decades to abate the problem of world hunger. |
|||
Since an XO has limited computing power, the game has a relatively smaller footprint as compared to the first version of FoodForce and is aimed at both XOs and Windows. |
|||
==Description== |
|||
The aim of the player is to make a village self-sustenant in terms of nutrition, housing, health, education and training by consistent production and trading of resources with the help of necessary infrastructure. There are three major aspects of the game: construction, upgradation and trading. |
|||
By constructing new facilities such as houses, schools, workshops, farms and wells you can provide your village with more resources and better village indicators. Construction of each new facility takes a certain amount of resources to build and manpower to build while the facility is in the process of construction. Once, a facility has been built, it consumes certain resources and manpower to produce certain resources and help in the economic growth of the village. |
|||
You are provided with various upgrades like brick and mortar, functional upgrades and electricity for each facility. Every upgrade costs resources, but an upgraded facility will be more efficient and effective. |
|||
The final cornerstone of play is trading which is crucial to a village's success. A village cannot effectively grow without a smart trader. For that, every village is provided with a market, which is visited by traders from neighboring villages for trade. The price of the commodities is determined by market forces, but smart and timely trades can give your village a leg-up and help it attain prosperity over time. |
|||
The village growth is defined by three clusters, and your aim is to achieve a certain level of prosperity in any given level. |
|||
