Mountain Town

Learn how to achieve 400 Village Prosperity and 8 Mountain Patches in Reus's Mountain Town level. Master resource placement and Giant abilities for village expansion.

Alright, let's tackle the Mountain Town development in Reus! This one's all about getting a village to hit 400 Prosperity while making sure it's got at least 8 Mountain Patches inside its borders. Sounds tricky, but it's actually pretty manageable if you know how to nudge things along.

Here's the plan:

1. Summon a Mountain: Grab your Rock Giant and plop down your first mountain. This is key because villages only show up when there's something for them to settle near.
2. Set Up for Expansion: Now, count about 7 tiles into your desert from that first mountain and grow a second mountain there. Having two mountains close together creates a nice valley for the village to appear in.
3. Attract the Village: Once those two mountains are in place, immediately place a resource tile on the lowest part of either mountain. This is the final trigger that makes a village decide to settle right there in the valley between your mountains. Because they're surrounded by mountains, their borders will naturally try to expand over them.

Resource Strategy:

• To get that Prosperity rolling, you'll want a good mix of Ginger and Agate resources. Animals can also help by feeding resources into the village borders from their range.
• A solid pattern to start with is Agate, Ginger, Ginger, Agate. This setup makes it easy to upgrade your Ginger to Cinnanomum and your Agate to Onyx later on. You might need a couple of extra ambassadors if you end up with more villages, but finishing a project or two should sort that out easily.

Just keep adding resources to both mountains, and your village should expand and grow its prosperity without too much fuss. Stick with this and you'll have that 400 Prosperity and 8 Mountain Patches in no time!
