Eastern Era is a really interesting base-building game where you take control of all of the aspects in the lives of your followers. You get to build a new empire and lead your disciples to success. This game offers a lot of depth when it comes to building your camp, and you can find out more on the official Steam page here.
Some gameplay mechanics in Eastern Era can get a bit confusing to understand, but you can read the tips in this article to start your journey the right way!
Disciples Come First
There is nothing more important than your disciples in the world of Eastern Era, and you need them to be happy for your sect to develop further. Focus on your disciples from early on if you want to see progress in a short amount of time. Look at the happiness bar of your disciples, feed them vegetarian food if they prefer, and always look at the messages that they send you.
Take care of the requests of your disciples, and they will follow your orders happily. Such disciples will never run away from their jobs, their training, or when it is time to protect the camp against bandits.
Speed Up Time
There is an option in this game to speed up time that players might overlook. It is actually one of the best features and allows you to skip the waiting times in most cases. Building structures, converting materials, researching, or any task that requires a lot of time can be skimmed through by fast-forwarding the time in Eastern Era.
Resource Management Is Key
You can run out of resources pretty quickly, especially early on when you’re building a lot of structures. It is advised to take some time out of every single day in this game to clear out some trees, mine some stones, and hunt some animals so you never run out of the raw materials for anything, be it building, crafting, or cooking.
Continuously Research Tech
Research is another key component of Eastern Era’s gameplay. We recommend building at least two or three research tables early on and having some of your disciples stick to researching. You’re going to need a lot of research papers to unlock all the different structures and recipes in this game.
If you focus on researching early on, you will never run out of research papers for your sect and continue to develop your empire. You will always be a step ahead if you start investing in tech, and you will never need to wait to research to unlock new structures for your camp.
Scheduling Is Very Important
It is very important to tune the schedules of your disciples in this game. You can make it so that half your disciples sleep at night, while the other half sleep during the day. This really boosts your efficiency, and you will be able to develop your camp for the entirety of the twenty-four-hour cycle.
You can even change which activities your disciples focus on, so you can have some of your disciples focus on cooking and everyday tasks while others train to protect the camp.
Don’t Forget To Explore
Building your empire is important, but it does not mean that you shouldn’t focus on the outside world in this game. Keep exploring the area around your camp to find unknown resources and plants. You can make your disciples observe these things, which will allow you to mine or farm them. Additionally, you can find more people to recruit into your camp at the post station, so visit that place often.
This concludes the Into Indie Games list of the best tips that you should follow in your early game in Eastern Era to start building the strongest sect.
