SLIME - ISEKAI Memories Guide on Increasing Citizens
2021-11-08
In this article, we will be talking about how to gain more citizens or increase the number of citizens in your game. This is a very important and crucial mechanic to understand because it will help you progress quickly. Basically, instead of having a conventional exp bar, you will have a citizens bar which will determine your in-game level. It also states the progress that you have made in the game.
The more citizens you have, the higher your level will be. There are some optimum ways to increase the number of citizens, and this article will focus on that aspect of the game to boost their gameplay experience.
Building and house upgrades for increasing citizens
Upgrading buildings is a very crucial aspect when it comes to increasing the number of citizens. First of all, you need to level up the central office building which will increase the cap of your citizens. Upgrading the central office building will give a huge power spike.
A higher-level central office building will have a high 'Population Limit' and also a higher 'Collect all' limit. For example, a level 4 central office building will have a population limit of 6100, but upgrading it to level 5 will increase the limit to 9900, which is quite a substantial increase.
You can level up the central office building by clicking on the building and then level up. Once you are into the upgrading console, you can see the 'Unlock conditions' or the things you need to have or do to upgrade the building.
The second thing necessary for increasing citizens is upgrading houses. The 'Facility level' is determined by the number of facilities you have and on what level they are. More houses on a higher level will ensure your facility level is also high. For example, 4 houses on level 3 will give you a total facility level of 12.
So increasing the number of houses and upgrading them also plays a very vital role in increasing the citizen count. If citizen capacity for a house on level 3 is 90, upgrading it to level 4 will increase the count to 120. This boost in citizen count will help in quick progression through the game.
So, upgrading the central office building will increase the population limit to accumulate more citizens. Increasing the number of houses and upgrading them will increase the citizen count.
Significance of story mode for increasing citizens
The story mode plays a very crucial role in increasing the number of citizens. It might not be directly linked to increasing the citizen count, but it is necessary to upgrade your houses. As mentioned earlier in the article, increasing the number of houses will increase the overall citizen count. But only increasing the number of houses won't help because their capacity is very on level 1.
Hence to accumulate more citizens, you need to upgrade these houses to a higher level. Like other games, you have to fulfill some requirements or gather materials to upgrade your houses. This is where the story mode plays a vital role because to fulfill these requirements; you need to play throughout the game's story.
What story mode helps you with is that playing it will unlock new tiers of the houses. Unlocking tiers is also dependent on the level of difficulty you play in. There are three modes of difficulty - Beginners, Normal and Expert. Playing on beginner-level difficulty will only unlock initial tiers.
To get higher ranked tiers, you will have to select a higher difficulty level of your story. For example, after unlocking the initial tier of a house from level 1 to 4, you need to complete the story mode in normal difficulty to unlock and upgrade the tier from level 4 to 6. Similarly, to upgrade from level 6 to 9 you need to beat the story mode in expert level difficulty.
There are various types of houses, such as Ogre's house, Goblin house, Direwolf house, Orc's house, etc. If you want to unlock various houses, you need to play the story mode in beginner's difficulty. For example, if you plate the 'Orc Disaster' story mode in beginner, you can unlock the Orc's house. But there is a limit on how many houses you can build of each type. You can only build 3 houses of each type and not more than that. Upgrading these houses will be your only option to increase the citizen count.
Important points to remember while expanding and building for more citizen count
Here are some important and crucial points that you can keep note of if you want to progress quickly:
1. Central office building needs to be upgraded to a higher level to increase the population cap.
2. Play the story mode in beginners difficulty to unlock new types of houses
3. Unlock a larger area to build houses (upgrade central office building to unlock larger area)
4. Limit of houses is 3 for every type of house; hence try to build at least two of every house.
5. Upgrade these houses to increase the citizen count even further.
6. Play the story mode on normal and expert mode to unlock higher tiers for the houses. This will help in upgrading houses to a higher level.
Conclusion
So that was it for this short guide on how to increase your citizen count quickly in the game. Building houses and upgrading the structures will be necessary for increasing the number of citizens. Focus on unlocking tiers for higher-level upgrades. This will require some time to be invested because playing the story mode on a higher difficulty will be time-consuming. But this will ensure smooth gameplay later on in the game as you will have a good foundation right from the start.
