Mandate Order Natural Disasters and Rituals Guide

Weather and Natural Disasters

Dynamic weather and disasters can interrupt farming, production, movement, and city stability. Treat preparation as part of the economy: reserves, accessible storage, labor capacity, and a recoverable layout matter more than reacting after every event begins.

Rituals and Sacrifices

The ritual system connects spiritual decisions to events and disaster outcomes. Before committing resources, check the immediate cost, the expected effect, and whether the settlement can afford a weaker production cycle afterward.

How to Prepare

• Keep food and basic materials in reserve.
• Avoid placing every critical building in one vulnerable district.
• Leave labor capacity for repairs, hauling, and emergency construction.
• Protect storage routes so recovery goods can move after an event.
• Record which ritual choice preceded an event before changing the whole city plan.

Disaster Recovery

After an event, restore food and access first. Pause optional construction, reconnect storage and production, then rebuild military capacity. Recovery is faster when the city has several short routes instead of one oversized network.

Current Early Access Scope

This is a combined overview rather than a separate page for every disaster. The event roster, balance, and player-facing feedback are still evolving, so specific recommendations should be updated alongside official patches.

FAQ

Can rituals prevent every disaster?

Do not assume that. Treat rituals as part of risk management and verify the current effect in-game.

What should I save before a disaster?

Keep food, core construction materials, storage access, and enough labor to repair or reroute the affected system.
