Township is a skill which tasks the player with running a town inside the land of Melvor. Similar to

, it can be trained relatively passively. However, unlike

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Township

has no

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

levels, and uses a unique tick system instead of constantly running. Ticks are a passively generated resource at a rate of 1 Tick per 5 minutes. Ticks can be spent at any time to progress your town, affecting all aspects of your town from population to resources, and with no limit on the amount of Ticks you can store, the town does not need constant attention to run.

It is important to note that you receive unspent ticks with a minimum of 144 ticks back when you reset your town. Starting over can be useful and should not be cause for alarm.

Town

Maps

The following maps are available to start a Town. A Town must be completely reset to change maps.Template:TownshipMaps

Land

Each building requires a piece of land to be built. A map starts with 32 free pieces of land which are randomly assigned to the various biomes. Each subsequent piece of land becomes progressively more expensive. When a Town is reset, land that has already been purchased may be reassigned to different biomes for free.

A total of   is required to purchase all 2,048 tiles of land. For more details, see Land.

Biomes

Each biome can build a restricted number of buildings. In addition, some buildings have production bonuses in certain biomes. Lastly, the Desert biome consumes 60   Clothing per building per tick, and the Snowlands biome consumes 30   Coal per building per tick. Biomes are covered in more detail in the buildings section.

Stats

Population

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Population

is the most important resource in Township - without it, the skill produces nothing and earns no experience. The population cap is gained by building Template:BuildingIcon, and spending ticks will cause population to increase until it reaches the cap. For every citizen in the Town, the player gains 0.3 experience per tick. This amount is further increased by

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

, up to an additional 100% bonus, which is additively added to normal skill boosts. To maximize experience, once a basic Town setup is completed,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

should always be at 100% to provide at least 0.6 experience per citizen per tick.

If less than 40% of the total population is living in the Town, then the population has a 100% chance to grow each tick. At 70% of total population, the growth chance is 70%, and at 100% total population, the growth chance is 40%. The number of citizens will increase by 1.5% every growth phase.

A citizen ages by 1 year every 8.7 ticks, meaning that it takes approximately 3.02 real-life days to age from 0 to 100 years old.

Workers

File:Workers (township).png Available Workers indicates the number of citizens that are available to perform jobs in the Town. All citizens with an age between 8 and 70 are considered File:Workers (township).png Workers. The left number indicates the number of jobless File:Workers (township).png Workers, out of the total amount on the right.

Unemployed citizens generate -5

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

.

Storage

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storage

allows Resources to be stockpiled in the Town. A Town starts with a base

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storage

of 19,000, and is gained by building Template:BuildingIcon. In addition, Template:BuildingIcon contributes a small amount of storage space. No resources can be gained past the storage cap, and hitting the cap will cause buildings that consume resources to continue doing so.

Happiness

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

is a modifier to the amount of experience you earn.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

provides a flat increase to the amount of experience you earn, where 1% Happiness increases experience by 1%. The max amount of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

is twice your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Population

. Each point of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

provides 1

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

, and is often the main source of a Town's

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

. In additiona, a small amount of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

is gained or lost from each building in the Town. Notably, Template:BuildingIcon and Template:BuildingIcon buildings are intended to increase

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

. Lastly,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

is decreased by 5 points for every overflowing corpse and unemployed citizen, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

is decreased by 40% and 50% additively from a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Potions

shortage for elderly citizens and a   Clothing shortage from buildings in the Desert biome.

Education

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

is a modifier to the amount of Resources each building produces.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

provides a flat increase to the amount of production, where 1% Education increases production by 1%. The max amount of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

is three times your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Population

. Every point of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

also provides one point of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Happiness

.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

is produced from Template:BuildingIcon and Template:BuildingIcon buildings.

Health

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Health

is a mechanic that calculates when elderly citizens will die. Each citizen aged 55 or above has a chance of dying every tick. Citizens die automatically at age 100, any other citizen that dies will be added to the File:Dead Storage (township).png Dead Storage.

The base chance for a citizen to die each tick is expressed by:

[math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{DeathChance} = \frac{100 - \textrm{healthPercent}}{38100} \times (2 + \frac{\textrm{healthPercent}}{100}) }[/math]

In the above calculation, [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{healthPercent} }[/math] is the % health as displayed in-game. If we consider [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{sickness} }[/math] to be the decimal representation of "un-health" (i.e. [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{100 - \textrm{healthPercent}}{100}) }[/math], this simplifies to:

[math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{DeathChance} = \frac{\textrm{sickness}}{381} \times (1 + \textrm{sickness}) }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{DeathChance} }[/math] is increased by 0.05 if there is no food after resources for the tick are calculated. Citizens will also die if there are more of them than the housing allows for.

The table below gives some examples.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Health
Chance of death per tick
0% 0.52%
25% 0.34%
50% 0.20%
75% 0.08%
100% 0%

Health is first calculated using the following parameters weighted out of 235:

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Happiness
    with a weight of 100
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Education
    with a weight of 100
  • Nonzero
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Potions
    stockpile and positive growth rate contributes 15 weight
  • Nonzero   Clothing stockpile and positive growth rate contributes 15 weight
  • Nonzero   Herbs stockpile and positive growth rate contributes 5 weight

This is then modified by any "total health" modifiers and expressed as a percentage capped between 0 and 100%.

Worship

Worship is a stat that provides multiple powerful bonuses based on which Deity you choose. It is gained by building Template:BuildingIcon or Template:BuildingIcon and has a set cap of 2000. The benefits of each Deity you choose is outlined below:

Dead Storage

File:Dead Storage (township).png Dead Storage represents the number of citizens that have died from poor

. This storage is created by building Template:BuildingIcon. 1% of the total File:Dead Storage (township).png Dead Storage will be cleared every hour (12 ticks). Corpses overflowing the maximum File:Dead Storage (township).png Dead Storage generate -5

.

Resources

There are a total of 13 resources. The production of all resources can be increased by up to 100% through

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

, stacking additively with any regular modifiers.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
GP

is a special type of resource that is deposited directly into the player's bank, while the other 12 resources are kept in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Storage

. This is the only resource that is exceptionally not affected by

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Education

or other production bonuses. A citizen produces 0.3  per tick per percentage point of tax, or 0.6  per tick per percentage point if over 70 years old. GP production is not affected by any global GP modifiers such as   Aorpheat's Signet Ring.

The other 12 resources may be used within the town, or traded via the Template:BuildingIcon to obtain items for the player (see Template:BuildingIcon). The production of a building is calculated as follows: [math]\displaystyle{ \textrm{Production} = \textrm{BaseProduction}\times(1 + \textrm{BuildingBiomeBonus} + \textrm{WorshipBiomeBonus} + \textrm{WorshipBuildingBonus})\times(1 + \textrm{Education}+\textrm{GenericProductionBonus}) }[/math]

  Food is used to feed citizens. Each citizen will consume 30   Food per tick.
