Building Quests
I did not pay much attention to these initially. Another reminder to look at the Request Board frequently.
The Exotic Estate is a recipe given when the Winter Village reaches Level 9.
You need to access this Quest before any Exotic Estate you order will count for this Quest and give you the rewards.
Village Levels are more complex than I first realised especially when one wishes to reach the maximum Level 10.
There are many different facets to a Village rating.
You need homes for all your villagers but a house is mot simply visual or defined by how many it can house. Every building has its own attributes. There is one that only has point values for the Winter Village.
These are the homes you can build:
Exotic Estate, houses 6
Max HP + 50, Exotic and Prudent
Exotic Lodge, houses 3
Max HP + 20, Exotic Ruler
Exotic Home, houses 2
Max HP + 20, Exotic Ruler
The house that only has value in Winter is:
Thatched Roof Cottage, houses 3
Max HP + 10
Generally speaking, shops give RP while homes give HP. Almost every devoration has its own special point values.
Duplicates never count except visually.
Whatever you place in your development zones become part of the actual landscape. You will be able to see them in the background when having a social interaction. At night, the lights you placed will become visible.
