Which guide should you read first?

Pick the page by the problem you just saw

Player situationOpen this firstWhy it helps
Your town grows, then faith disappears before the next threat.Faith Economy RouteIt separates emergency faith from power spending so one panic cast does not empty the run.
You picked a strong god but the run still feels scattered.Beginner Build OrderIt gives the settlement one route before artifacts, prayers, and city pressure start competing.
Heretics or rival beliefs are spreading faster than you can respond.How to Convert HereticsIt turns the problem into timing, reserve, and conversion decisions instead of random punishment.
A patch changed costs, pressure, or god value.UpdatesUse update notes before copying an old build order or ranking.

Faith Reserve Gate

Spend faith only when it changes the route

Pandora's Toybox gets messy when faith becomes a reflex instead of a plan. Before casting, ask what gets worse if you wait. If the answer is not heretic spread, population collapse, food pressure, objective timing, or a clean Faith Crystal cash-out, the stronger play is usually to hold the reserve.

SituationBuild ideaWhy it worksFailure risk
Faith is low but the town is not collapsing.Stop casting and rebuild ordinary stability first.Food, population, and materials create future believers without draining the last answer.A real heretic or disaster problem appears while the reserve is empty.
Faith is high and the objective is close.Spend to finish the scenario or remove the final blocker.A clean finish turns stability into Faith Crystal progress instead of another hour of polishing.Overbuilding a safe map until a new problem starts.
Heretic pressure is local and still manageable.Use conversion or support before destructive answers.Early pressure fixes are cheaper than late punishment routes.Waiting until holy war or disaster becomes the only practical response.

God Role Router

Pick gods by the failure they prevent

Do not treat god choice like a static tier list. A strong council is the one that answers the map you are actually playing: growth if the settlement is slow, recovery if disasters keep resetting progress, combat if rival pressure is active, and support if the route needs smoother faith timing.

Role choice

Choose a council job

Use this when the run feels scattered because every god solves a different problem and no one protects the route.

 Power timing

Upgrade the power you actually use

Use this when faith spending goes into unlocks that look strong but never decide the scenario.

 Reward timing

Take prayers by route value

Use this when artifacts and prayers slow the clear instead of making the next run safer.

 Meta path

Unlock for repeated failure

Use this when Faith Crystals should fix the problem that keeps appearing across multiple attempts.

Heretic Pressure Route

Conversion is cheaper before the map is already split

Heretics are not only a combat problem. They tax faith timing, distract the council from growth, and can turn a stable city into a reaction loop. If the pressure is small, treat it as a conversion and support problem. If it is already threatening the clear, spend decisively and plan the recovery afterward.

  1. Spot early: look for rival belief before it touches every part of the route.
  2. Use the light answer first: conversion and support are usually cleaner than destructive punishment.
  3. Escalate only with a reason: holy war or wrath should protect the clear, not vent frustration.
  4. Repair the economy: after a hard answer, rebuild population, resources, and faith reserve before chasing rewards.

Cash-Out Route

When the scenario is safe, turn the run into future power

The site has separate pages for faith, crystals, artifacts, and updates, but the run decision is simple: once the objective is secure, stop making the same city prettier. Cash out, spend Faith Crystals on the bottleneck that slowed the last few clears, then start the next run with a sharper council plan.

Run stateBest next guideWhen not to use it
The clear is safe, but you keep improving the city.Faith Crystals GuideDo not keep farming the same map if the objective is already solved.
A prayer reward looks tempting, but pressure is rising.Artifacts and Prayers GuideSkip reward gambling when faith reserve or heretic control is unstable.
A patch changed military, faith, or city behavior.Version UpdatesDo not force an old route until the new pressure point is clear.

Reader route

Recommended reading order

Open first: Beginner Build Order. Start with Beginner Guide for the loop, then Beginner Build Order for the first clean run, then Faith Economy when powers start draining the reserve.

Common first mistake: choosing a god because it sounds strong while the town has no faith reserve or heretic plan.

Patch caution: Version changes can move faith and city-state pressure, so check update-impact pages before treating any god route as permanent.
