The player’s actions largely determine whether the settlement will grow and the settlers will survive. The game contains many resources that must be obtained with the help of peasants. By assigning units to various jobs so they can gather food or various resources, the settlement begins to prosper. Starting small, a modest village soon grows into a big city. With the help of extracted resources, buildings are erected, thereby creating new jobs. It is imperative to build walls around the city. They will help increase the protection of their lands from unexpected attacks by enemies. But it is worth considering that this will require a lot of wood.
As the city grows, the number of citizens increases, and at the same time the cost of provisions increases. In this case, it is necessary to send people to hunt or pasture so that they get more units of meat. In addition to food, animals provide wool and leather. These are irreplaceable resources because they can be used to create clothing that helps residents cope better with the winter. Many other tools will allow you to insulate buildings, because harsh winters are one of the main and serious elements in Bastide.
