Specialized Economy

Learn how to complete the Specialized Economy development in Reus by creating three villages, managing their greed, and fulfilling project specializations with the right giants.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Specialized Economy' development in Reus. The goal here is to finish an Era with three Projects fully upgraded. The trick is to set up three separate villages, each focusing on one of the initial Level 1 projects and getting them completely maxed out.

To get started, you'll want to create a Forest and a Swamp. The Forest is your go-to for Food, while the Swamp should be geared towards Tech. The key is to avoid spreading yourself too thin; by focusing on one resource per village, you make it easier for them to grow and meet Project demands. Just keep a close eye on their greed levels. If you build up their resources too quickly, they might start fighting each other, which is a major setback for this development.

As you progress, these Projects will evolve and ask for more specific resources. This is where your Giants come into play. You'll need to use the right Giant and their powers to fulfill the Project's Specialization. Here’s a quick rundown:

Once you have two villages with their projects completed, it's time to create a third village. Move all your Giants to this new area to speed up its development. Focus this new village on Food, perhaps by building another forest. You should have a decent amount of time, around fifteen minutes or more, to get this done.

Don't forget to keep an eye on the villages' greed! Using things like Pear Trees (by giving the Forest Giant a Forest Ambassador) or growing Strawberries can help generate Awe, which in turn keeps the humans from getting too greedy and starting conflicts.
