Golden Era

Master the Golden Era in Reus! Learn how to strategically upgrade your Giants and replace resources to reach 2000 Prosperity with seven thriving villages.

Alright, let's talk about the Golden Era. The goal here is to get 2000 Prosperity, and the way the game frames it is by asking you to create seven villages, each with 300 resources. Sounds like a lot, right? Don't worry, we've got some tricks up our sleeves to make this much easier than it sounds.

Think of this development as building on what we did for the Fantastic Era. We're still aiming for lots of villages and lots of Level 1 developments, and we're not going to get too hung up on building 'great' developments just yet. The big twist for the Golden Era is resource replacement. As your Giants get stronger, they unlock the ability to create 'great' versions of resources instead of the standard ones. This is key because these 'great' resources give you way more bang for your buck, letting you get more resources in a smaller area.

So, here's the game plan: focus on upgrading your Giants' basic abilities. It's just as important as unlocking their special powers. Once they're powered up, you'll start replacing the old, standard resources with these new, 'great' versions. For example, get your Forest Giant the 'ambassador' ability (you'll need one forest and one of any other resource type for this) and then have him go around replacing all his old plants with their great counterparts. Do the same for the Rock Giant and his minerals – unlock his ability and have him swap out the old minerals for the new, improved ones.

Don't forget about your own aspects, too! Using them strategically can really push things along. This whole process of upgrading and replacing resources can take a village that was only producing 300 resources and bump it up to 400. That's a huge jump and brings you that much closer to hitting that 2000 Prosperity target.
