Monuments - Build 'em up!

Build your village and defend it from fiends in this quickly escalating RTS game!

Take care of a nation of builders whose only goal is to erect 4 magical monuments and ascend. Will you stand up to the challenge?

But how do you even play this?

BASICS

• Click your soldiers and the king to move them around

• Placing your mouse over the castle shows you the amount of coins, excess food, peasants and the king's health

• Click a building to access its upgrade/build menu (try it out on the castle first)

• Orchards (trees) provide 3 units of food per day to your castle

• Each house summons 2 peasants and provides a way of buying more

• Mines can only be built on rocks

• Miners can be employed in the mines

• Soldiers can be recruited in the barracks

• Walls stop enemies from walking through

• Walls can be upgraded to monuments. Building 4 of them wins the game.

• The cave on the bottom periodically spawns enemies

CASH & FOOD (i.e. the confusing part)

• Each peasant and soldier needs 1 piece of food per day to sustain themselves

• Each peasant pays 1 coin every day

• Miners require 1 extra piece of food for a total of 2 per day to sustain themselves, but they pay out with 2 coins

• Each soldier needs to be paid 1 coin per day

• If there's not enough food to sustain your village the first ones to go hostile are the miners. Then the peasants will follow, and lastly the soldiers.

• Excess food from the previous day gets deleted, meaning that waiting will not get you any extra apples.

• The more excess food you have the more often traitors will spawn

TIPS

• DON'T place 2 orchards at the beginning of your game. Just don't do it man.

• Keep an eye out for prices of crucial items. You don't want to be caught with your pants down or overpay for your troops, now do you?

• Quickly place all 4 walls. You may try to block the traitors' cave with them. When you succeed just remember that traitors can't see 2 feet ahead of themselves.

• Look out for your food supply. Too much excess food will lure in the traitors while too little will make your peasants riot.
