Goals

Each new player (and village) are assigned a unique faction. Over the course of time (and through specific actions) the faction of the player (and their peons) are affected. Players must undertake specific actions to maintain/increase the strength of their faction, otherwise, loss of faction and working peons ensue. The person playing the game will have to be aware of outside influences and take care of their worker base. The user will have to spend some of their time and resources in maintaining the happiness and working state of their peons. If the user decides to ignore the factional rating of themselves and their peons, they will suffer by having serious reduction of harvesting and worker happiness. Factional rating is also an important part in spreading the boundaries of your city. As you erect more buildings for your village, the amount of factional happiness in your workers is increased. This has the net effect of growing the size of your village so you can house more workers, thus growing your empire.

Project Details

Each village has a unique faction You begin with your own faction Peons are influenced by outside factions - turning them over time The more the peons work (harvest resources etc), the more unhappy they get with their faction

You have to do different tasks to keep your peons from turning
