Description

❖

Scorching sands conceal ancient wealth beneath the dunes. Gems production increases by 35%, stone by 20%, dextronium by 20%, mineral by 15%. The brutal environment devastates organic production: wood drops 50%, food 45%, herbs 40%. Defenders gain +10% Attack from brutal combat experience.

📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼

Deserts are unforgiving wastelands that reward only the resilient. Wind erosion exposes Gem deposits (+35%), Stone formations (+20%), and ancient Dextronium caches (+20%). Mineral extraction reaches +15% from exposed veins. However, the harsh environment is catastrophic for organic resources: Wood (-50%), Food (-45%), Herbs (-40%), Elixir (-25%). Research suffers -10% from difficult living conditions. Desert cities serve as gem mining outposts and forward military bases - defenders gain +10% Attack from harsh combat training. Orcs thrive in deserts with their war-focused bonuses complementing the aggressive terrain. These cities require massive resource imports but generate irreplaceable gem wealth.
