Builders! ????
It’s time for our monthly devlog and as promised, this time we’ll introduce you to a social group which is very numerous and important for the prosperity of your city- Slaves! ⛓️
In the ancient Mayan empire the wheel wasn’t used for the creation of some sort of transportation device. Therefore, most of the goods were being moved by people ????often equipped with baskets. And that’s where slaves step in- a numerous work force to relieve the citizens from the physical labor. ???? Use them wisely to propel your economy!
Their function in society wasn’t just physical work. As we’ve previously mentioned, the Mayan Gods ⚡ were demanding, capricious and vengeful ???? beings who didn’t bat an eye while punishing their followers as soon as they felt like they weren't given as many prayers and sacrifices as they deserved.
That’s why ancient Mayan were often having festivals full of music, incense, fire and of course- blood. But where to take that blood from? ???? Why would they slay their own valued citizens when slaves just waited to take their place on the altar?
Offering them in their mystical, bloody rituals will please even the most demanding God. ????
And you, as the rightful ruler, should learn from their traditions and follow their steps to ensure the wellbeing of your city and its inhabitants.
The life of a few sounds like a fair price in exchange for the protection from famine, plagues, elemental cataclysms, as well as a good fortune during wars, gathering crops and hunting! ????
Keep in mind that even slaves have their needs that have to be taken care of. In order to use them up to the very last drop of their blood you have to create a proper environment for the unwilling inhabitants of your city, you should at least grant them a roof over their head ???? and something to eat and drink. ???? ????
Unfortunately that brings us to an end of this devlog but before you go we’d like to remind you that El Dorado: The Golden City Builder DEMO version takes part in the upcoming Seam Next Fest starting June 19, 2023, at 7 PM CEST! ????????
