Developing Era: Level Developments

Learn how to quickly achieve 800 total prosperity in Reus by strategically founding and developing four towns, focusing on projects and Giant-Ambassador assignments.

Alright, so you've been clearing out those 1-star developments in Reus, right? Remember how you had to get each biome's tribe up to 150 prosperity? Well, for this next goal, hitting 800 total prosperity is way easier if you aim for four towns, each hitting 200 prosperity. Think of it as four solid villages instead of one giant one.

To make this happen without too much fuss, we're going to start with one swamp, one forest, and one desert village. This way, your Giant can mostly focus on their own home turf, which keeps things simpler.

The fastest way to pump up that prosperity is by completing projects and using their special bonuses, so always keep an eye on what pops up. But here's a crucial tip: don't go overboard developing any single village too early. You really don't want to invite war. A good way to avoid this is to keep the village's actual prosperity as close as possible to its potential prosperity. The more resources a village still needs to gather, the quicker its greed will start to climb, and that's your cue to back off a bit.

Once ambassadors start showing up, here's a good way to assign them:

• Send the Forest Ambassador to the Forest Giant.
• Send the Desert Ambassador to the Ocean Giant.
• Send the Swamp Ambassador to either the Swamp or Rock Giant.

Now, you might be wondering why the Desert Ambassador is going to the Ocean Giant. It's all about setting up for the monsoon! This lets you use superior aspects way more often than if you just relied on the Forest Giant's Fertilize ability alone. It's a strategic move to get more bang for your buck.

While your Rock Giant is busy placing Quartz for your desert village, encourage your Forest Giant to set up a Pear Tree farm in the forest biome. Before you know it, you'll want to start on that fourth town. Focus all your efforts on getting it up to 200 prosperity. Again, just stick to whatever project pops up for it.

If you're finding things a bit tough, remember you can always use your Giants' Aspects on resource spots to generate extra goodies. It's all about making the most of what you have!
