The Monsquas FAQ / Instructions / Bugfixing Page

Getting Started

How do I get started?

If you want people, you'll need to have enough food to support them, and they will need to have a place to live. Make sure you have enough food and at least a tent or wooden hut to start with.

I made a worker, but they died straight away!

Workers eat food. Do you have enough spare?

Features

How do I get more cats?

It is a mystery.

How do I get more deities?

You'll need to reset your game; you get one deity per playthrough (collect them all!).

But if I reset, don't I lose everything?

You get to keep your achievements (you need to reset to get them all), your old deities and some of their upgrades (the Pantheon Upgrades section lists the permanent ones), your wonders, and your cats.

How do I get gold?

You need to trade for it with the traders who show up randomly.

What are all the achievements? How do I get them?

Finding out is part of the fun! If you really need to know, check the source code.

Can I buy bonuses for old deities?

You can only buy upgrades for your current deity. You'll be able to do more stuff with old deities in the future.

My people hate me! How can I fix this?

For the moment, happiness is boosted by victorious raids, or if you have Aesthetics, by building lots of temples.

I don't seem to be making any progress on my wonder. Am I doing it right?

You need a lot of labourers and a lot of every kind of resource. Really a lot.

Other Questions:

Why do you need so many farmers?

In pre-industrial society, farmers operated at barely above subsistence level, so the numbers aren't actually too far off real life. With lots of upgrades and mills, the efficiency of farmers improves significantly.

What browsers does Monsquas support?

I'm using Supermium, so it gets the most testing. My intent is that Monsquas should work on any version of the major browsers that you could call "recent".

Where did you get those icons?

The icons are modified from originals found on game-icons.net. They are used under the CC-BY license (original author details here).

Bugs

I have a bug.

First, try seeing if a force refresh (Ctrl-F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R) fixes things. This sorts 99% of problems.

Okay, I still have a bug.

Sorry about that! Try sending an e-mail to Dukem. Screenshots are helpful, as is an exported save string.
