6 itemsAbout the Game
In Bastion of Valor, you begin your adventure as a common villager with nothing. You must gather resources and craft the tools needed for your initial survival. When you think you've found a suitable spot for your village in the forest, build the town square, and you'll attract the attention of everyone, friends and enemies. As days pass, you'll gain influence, and villagers who looking to join your adventure will come to you.
It's entirely up to your strategy to decide which jobs to assign your villagers, but remember that keeping them happy should be your primary priority as a good leader. Unhappy villagers might abandon you and negatively impact your village's influence.So what makes your villagers happy?
You shouldn't let your villagers starve. No one fights for someone else when their stomach is constantly growling.
You need to assign jobs to your villagers that match their stats. If you ask a weak villager to chop wood or mine, they'll be unhappy.
You must provide your villagers with a place to sleep so they'll join you. However, an empty house won't make anyone wake up happy for a new day. You need to craft and place furnitures in your villagers' homes.
Finally, believing they'll survive an incoming raid will make your villagers happy. For this, you should craft armor and give it to them.
As your village develops, it'll start to become a city. You'll be able to build massive stone walls and place defensive weapons on them. You'll need this because armies, not just bandits, will begin to attack your city.
This game was created by a single developer after long efforts. Your support and feedback are of great importance to me personally. I hope you have fun.
