Situation

Little Ice Age

little_ice_age

The bone-chilling cold of the Little Ice Age tests our resilience, forcing our leader to adapt or watch their domain descend into frozen hell. Whether through careful governance or sheer survival instinct, history will remember those who make it through this time of great hardship.

The game's hint

The Little Ice Age is upon us! Frost covers the lands. We must do our best to protect crops, animals, and ensure the survival of our people!

Recommended Actions:
Consider expanding Buildings that produce or enhance the production of Food.

Extra Hints:
We may utilize many unique Actions to help bolster and redistribute Food across our Provinces.
