Difference between revisions of "Keywords"

Latest revision as of 11:04, 23 June 2022

Keywords are utilised to communicate an effect to the player in a way which safes as much space for the UI as possible.

Keywords can only be applied to Buildings once, this means that same keywords don't stack. However, different Keywords with similar effects do stack, so while a Building may not benefit from 2 occurences of Motivated, it can benefit from Motivated and Greatly Motivated because they are 2 different effects.

In the game's current state, keywords only showcase their effect after a successful tick so that the server has a chance of notifying all keywords/effects on each building.
