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 village growth is defined by three clusters, and your aim is to achieve a certain level of prosperity in any given level.
