Strategic depth comes from long-term planning: think several turns ahead.

Empire Log

Function	Description	Why It Matters
Found City	Create a city on a tile with strong yields (Food / Production / Science). Each city has its own focus.	Your city placement determines the long-term strength and flexibility of your empire.
City Focus	Choose Food / Production / Science / Happiness / Balanced for each city.	Focus dramatically changes yields and happiness. Wrong choices lead to instability and eventual collapse.
Empire Food	Total food generated by all cities each turn. It accumulates over time.	If Empire Food stays too low, you cannot support growth. (Optional hard rule you can enforce in JS: - Empire Food ≤ 0 for 3 consecutive turns → Starvation Collapse → Game Over.)
Empire Production	Total production of all cities.	If production is low or zero for many turns, you cannot build projects or wonders, leading to stagnation and loss.
Empire Science	Total science output from all cities.	If science remains at 0 for many turns, you trigger a “Scientific Collapse” (no progress, eventual Game Over).
Happiness	0–100%. Affected by city focus and difficulty level.	If happiness drops too low, cities enter Unrest, stop producing, and can push the empire into collapse.
Difficulty Levels	Easy / Normal / Hard / Expert.	Higher difficulty reduces base yields and happiness bonuses, making collapse much easier.
Next Turn	Advances the turn and recalculates Food / Production / Science / Happiness.	Every turn amplifies your strategic choices—good planning snowballs, bad planning accelerates collapse.
Advisor Plan	Automatically assigns city focuses (Food / Production / Science / Balanced).	Useful for quick setups, but not optimal. Manual fine-tuning is required for maximum strategic depth.
Virtual Keys	Floating mobile buttons to switch cities, change focus, and advance turns.	Gives precise control on phones and tablets without mis-taps, keeping the game fully playable on mobile.
How You Lose	You can define strict loss rules in JavaScript, for example: - Empire Food ≤ 0 for 3 turns → Starvation Collapse → Game Over - Happiness ≤ 20% for 2 turns → Unrest → Cities stop producing → Collapse → Game Over - Science = 0 for 5 turns → Scientific Collapse → Game Over - Production = 0 for 5 turns → Industrial Collapse → Game Over - All cities in Unrest → Total Empire Breakdown → Game Over	These conditions make Freeciv Lite a high‑thinking, high‑risk strategy game. Surviving means constantly balancing Food, Production, Science, and Happiness across all cities.
