Genesis Era

Learn how to achieve 250 Prosperity in Reus's Genesis Era in under 10 minutes by strategically using the Giants and focusing on specific village developments. Guide included!

Alright, let's get this Genesis Era development sorted! The goal here is to hit 250 global prosperity, and honestly, you can do it super fast, like under ten minutes, if you play it smart. It's all about knowing which Giant to send where and what to focus on.

First up, you'll want to call on the Ocean Giant to make some water. Once that's done, send the Forest Giant to the right of the water and create a Forest. Then, have the Swamp Giant pop down to the left and make a Swamp there. Now, for your first nomad, grab a Forest Giant plant and place it in the Forest, about four tiles away from the water. This should attract your first little villager.

As your Forest Village starts to grow, keep nurturing it. Focus on planting Strawberries next to Blueberries – this is a key combo for maximizing your food output. While that's humming along, get your Swamp Giant busy placing some plants in the Swamp. This will get things ready to attract your second Nomad as soon as they're available.

From this point on, it's really about specializing: Food for the Forest and Tech for the Swamp. If you've unlocked the Agriculture Development, have your Forest Ambassador join the Forest Giant. Then, use Potent Fruit aspects to swap those Blueberries for Pear Trees. These are pretty much all you need to get a really thriving Forest community going.

Over in the Swamp, concentrate on a Marble, Peppermint, Marble setup. This will help you fulfill your project's specializations there.

Now, a word of caution: don't get too eager and develop villages too quickly. If you push them too hard, you might have to reset a village, which is a real bummer. Keep an eye on the village's greed – if you see more than three faces on their meter, it's time to ease up on giving them new resources. You don't want to overwhelm them!
