As the Luminator of Alora, your task is to develop our community to the best of your ability while meeting certain milestones along the way.
These milestones are indicated by lines marked on the development bar. Fill your development bar by building and upgrading pods. Each pod will help increase your rate of development.
Watch out! Alora falls victim to falling comets, shocks as we call them. These comets careen into the water and cause waves that hinder development. You must balance between growing our community and preparing for these potential shocks.
Thankfully, you have abilities that can help. Using your interface device, you are able to access three Luminator powers: Research, Protection, and Insurance.
But remember, each action will cost you precious resources!
The power to look out into space and learn the chance of the comet hitting, the time until impact, and the severity of the comet. By clicking on a comet and keeping it's box focused on screen, you will begin to accumluate research. With each filled in notch, you receive more time to create community connections right before the comet hits, helping boost your protection.
Our long term protection against the waves. Press and hold the slider, located on the bottom right of the screen, into the upright position to raise your island. By matching your level of protection, indicated by the meter to the right of the slider, with the severity of the comet, you will prevent your pods from being damaged! But remember, the more you lift, the more this power costs.
By obtaining insurance, pods damaged from flooding will be quicker and cheaper to rebuild. Insurance also recovers lost development time after you your pods are repaired! Click the insurance button at the bottom left of the screen to open the insurance purchase menu and select a plan.
By using these three powers in concert with development, you will help us create a healthy community and create a Luminator legacy! The only way to succeed is to find the perfect balance. Remember to keep your eyes on the horizon. Good luck!
