The Mountain

Knowledge dies with people.

The Mountain is a colony builder about what gets passed down before it's too late. Progress isn't permanent — it lives with your citizens. When your last skilled smith before training an apprentice, the forges go dark and nobody in the colony know how to oprate it.

Carve your colony into the rock. Assign workers. Train apprentices before your elders die. Elevate the worthy to elder status and watch lineages form across generations — children inheriting the skills and names of their parents.

Build The Commons — a monument to every elder whose knowledge made it possible.

Tips

  • Your elder is always aging. Check who holds knowledge no one else does — that's your most important citizen 
  • High-tier buildings make your colony anxious. Use the heart overlay to see how your layout affects reproduction:
    Red zones block new births.
    Green zones boost them.
  • Lineages carry knowledge buffs to their children — mixed lineage children inherit both parents' skills
  • When the colony looses an important citizen, the knowledge isn't gone forever. Train someone to take their place — the mountain remembers
