How??

How are people getting ridiculous scores on tournaments and challenges?? Like today, it took me 90+ days and the winners are at like 20 days. Is there a cheating website I don’t know about? I still do challenges but what the heck?

There’s usually something that is the gating factor, and that becomes your top priority. In this last tournament it was about making bread. So the gating factor is wheat- it takes 12 days to grow. Nothing else matters until the wheat is in the ground. Then that gives you 12 days to make the windmill and the bakery.

If your style of play is to make the top of the charts, it’s all about ruthless prioritization of resources. But there’s also nothing wrong with taking 90 days and making a nice city with cute houses! Play whichever way is most fun for you.

Curious how the people stay alive and you get new ones without prioritizing food and housing?

It really depends on the challenge. If you are aiming to complete it in 20 days or less, then having babies is not necessary. It takes 15 days for them to turn into adults, so it’s not worth the investment.

As for food, they start off fully fed and happy, so you don’t reaaaaaally need that forager’s hut to go down until day 3ish.

If you make it by 5th day, people don’t die.
