===== Potential Quest Chains =====

Quest Chain 1: Clear the river to facilitate transport of foods & stuff and give a clean source of waters, allow irrigation

1. Assess the Experimental farm/museum of agriculture to a certain point to unlock the starting quest. You want to use the river to irrigate crops, but the water is poisoned with bodies

2. Build tools to fish bodies out of the water with (task on river)

3. (optional) Build boats to speed up the task of clearing out the river (task on river)

4. Clear out river (task on river)

Reward: 1 of:

• Use to transport resources: slower resource decay (less time outside of storage)

• Use for recreation: bonus to happiness

  And increase to food income due to irrigation

Quest Chain 2: Re-establish parliament as a center of government (not sure if this really counts as a chain)

1. Discover the parliament building to start quest

2. Complete the ‘establish a government’ task at parliament

3. Complete the ‘consolidate the government’ task at parliament up to 5 times, each time giving temporary unhappiness, while increasing output/speed of other tasks in the city

Reward: Parliament building bonuses carry over to any future city you start

===== Game Feel =====

As an eastern region city it is fairly average in most respects, except:

• It has high population density, which will reflect in higher chance of new meeples
• The population has high standards of living, and is harder to please
• As a southern Canadian city, it will have one of the hardest times with the plague

This means a lot of the game will be trying to deal with overpopulation problems, keeping them from being too unhappy, and trying to control the spread of disease.
