In Hard Mode, effective game strategies include choosing the scholar profession, avoiding taxes, prioritizing positive attributes when recruiting residents, generating income by charging toilet fees and utilizing rat resources, and controlling population growth as prosperity approaches full. .
Career options
Choosing Scholars is wise in the long run, as their experience bonus can effectively supplement the warrior's lack of attack power over time. In about 10 days, scholars' agility and movement speed can catch up with warriors, and their growth potential is greater in the later stage. At the same time, choosing an idol is probably a bad decision, as the noble's 3,000 gold coins will have minimal impact on the economic balance.
legislative strategy
Avoid enforcing tax laws in the early to mid-game, especially before the Silver Leaf class appears. Taxation cannot fundamentally solve the financial problem, but will reduce citizens' sense of happiness. Consider setting the toilet fee at 100 gold coins each time, and providing a daily subsidy of 200 gold coins to citizens whose income is less than 200-300. These two policies can stabilize the country's economy before the population reaches 40.
recruitment strategy
In the first 6 populations, you can give priority to recruiting two rats, or choose residents with better attributes. In subsequent recruitments, if a resident has all positive attributes, they should be admitted even if another resident has all negative attributes. Avoid repatriating anyone, as even residents with negative attributes can provide resources to the country.
revenue generation
The nation's wealth consists of the money of the Queen and the Rats. In addition to coinage and trade, there is a little-known way to make money - by deceiving the Rats and depriving them of their property. Financing can be obtained from the Rats by limiting subsidies to new residents and by charging high toilet fees. They are then put to work in the hunting grounds, ignored even if they fall injured, until they are dead and cremated, and eventually even the bones are used. This is the fate of rats with negative attributes. Each rat can contribute at least 200 gold coins to the treasury.
prosperity management
When the prosperity level is close to the full value, it is best to temporarily control it, because the increase in prosperity level will increase the difficulty of the game. Controlling population growth is an effective strategy, I usually control it when prosperity reaches 2 and 4, and then increase the population quickly once it breaks through.
