Monsters and critters and how do they work, oh my!
« on: June 17, 2015, 05:37:01 pm »
Hello - lame newbie here again.  Could some expert please explain the concept with monsters and critters that are all over the map?  How do they work.  I think you have to put a harvest containment on them, then a guildhall maybe?  Then what happens to them?  I haven't had a chance to try this yet.

Also - it was mentioned in another thread that we had monsters of our own.  We do?  Where are they, please, and how do I use them?

Are my monsters used as an attack force?  Something else? 

Thank you all very much in advance!

For resources:

For monsters:

There's a building towards the end of the tech tree called a Monster Pit which may be relevant... ;)

Thanks for the tips.  So, what can we do with the resource points we extract from the resources?  Are they used to build certain higher level buildings?

I will check out the Monster Pit.  So, I found a Vice Viper that needed a harvest containment and guildhall.  So, that's not a monster?  It sure looked like a snake monster type of thing.

As per the mantis, there's

a link between two buildings
which you need to assign.
Spoiler for Hiden:
Both buildings are on the resource tooltip (so Harvester and Guildhall on the viper (I think).
It's quite intuitive once you've seen it once, which is why I filed it as a documentation/tutorial issue ;)

Also
Spoiler for Hiden:
The inventory screen shows you how many buildings worth of a resource you collect, if it hasn't changed.
