Les batiments servent à créer, entretenir et entrainet vos globs. Vous devrez vous habituer à commencer une partie de Globulation 2 par construire une ville.

Gestion des batiments

Dans l'écran de jeu, les batiments sont affichés avec quatre lignes de points autour :

• À gauche : le stockage, par exemple le blé ou les pierres
• À droite : les globs à l'intérieur, par exemple mangeant, ou s'entrainant
• En haut : les globs assignées au batiment, par exemple, construisant ou stockant
• En bas : les points de vie

Les points remplis (verts, jaune ou blancs) représentent l'état actuel (par exemple le stock courant), les points vides (noirs) représentent la capacité disponible (par exemple le places de stockage libres). Ces quatre lignes de points n'existent pas pour tous les batiments, une école ne stockant rien, la ligne ne gauche est inutile.

Vous pouvez sélectionner un batiment en cliquant dessus. En maintenant le bouton de la souris appuvé après avoir cliqué sur un batiment, un cerle apparait autour de toutes les ouvrières travaillant actuellement pour le batiment.

Quand un batiment est sélectionné, la zone d'actions vous détaille l'état actuel du batiment et vous permet de modifier les actions effectuées dans ce batiment.

Un batiment pour lequel des ouvrières peuvent travailler aura une barre de contrôle horizontale permettant de choisir le nombre d'ouvrières. un message de type Travaillant 1/5 apparait également indiquant que vous avez demandé 5 ouvrières pour ce batiment et qu'actuellement 2 ouvrières travaillent effectivement. En mettant la barre à 0, les ouvrières ignoreront ce batiment. Vous pouvez augmenter ou réduire le nombre d'ouvrières demandées en cliquant sur les deux boutons aux extrémités de la barre ou à l'intérieur de la barre, vous pouvez également modifier ce nombre en utilisant la molette de votre souris ou les touches + et - du clavier.

Certains batiments auront des globs à l'intérieur de temps en temps, par exemple, pour se ravitailler dans l'auberge, ou s'entrainer dans la piscine. Ces batiments ont une barre de progression avec un trait vertical pour chaque glob à l'intérieur. Quand un trait arrive à droite de la batte, le glob sort du batiment.

Working on buildings

All buildings need work at some point - to build them initially, keep them well stocked, repair them when they're damaged, upgrade them as the game moves on, and to destroy them when they're no longer useful. You can assign a number of workers to each building, and your workers will decide amongst themselves which jobs they will do in what order.

Creating buildings

The building menu is the first icon in the sidebar on the right of the game screen. It shows all the buildings you are allowed to create (not all buildings are available in all maps). Hovering the mouse over a building in the sidebar will show you the name of the building and the amount of resources necessary to construct it. To request the building be created, click on the building's icon, then click on the area of the screen where you would like to place the building. There are some places you can't put a building (for example, over a forest or in the sea), but you can request a building be placed in an undiscovered part of the map or on a spot which has units on it. A forbidden area will be set there, and the building will be set down as soon as possible.

When you are choosing a place to put a building, a white border will be drawn around the building. The border turns red if you move your mouse over an area that the building is not allowed to go. Some buildings will grow if you upgrade them later, so a second white border is drawn around the building at the size it will eventually reach.

When a building is first requested, one worker is asked to build it. You might want to increase the number of workers if you need the building in a hurry.

Destroying buildings

Sometimes, you will want to destroy a building you own - for example, because it's obstructing an important route for your globs, because you created it accidentally, or because it's become obsolete. You can do this by clicking on the building to select it, then clicking on the "Destroy" button in the bottom-right corner of the screen (or by hitting 'd'). Be careful, as the building will disappear instantly, and you won't be asked if you're sure before it's destroyed.

Upgrading buildings

Creating a school allows you to train workers in advanced building techniques. Once a worker has gone through school, he will be able to upgrade buildings. Since schools can only teach a few workers at a time, you shouldn't start upgrading your buildings until quite a few workers have been educated. Upgrading a school allows you to teach workers even more advanced techniques, and to upgrade buildings even further.

Upgrading a building takes a lot of resources - usually more than it took to create the building in the first place. Upgraded buildings can accept more globs at a time and teach skills at a higher level. If you cancel an upgrade and start it again later, any resources that were applied during the upgrade will still be there when you start again.

When you have selected a building by clicking on it, you can upgrade it by clicking the "upgrade" button (just above the "destroy" button), or by hitting 'u' on the keyboard. Holding the mouse over the "upgrade" button will show the upgraded statistics of your building next to the current statistics. If the upgrade button isn't there, you can't upgrade that building right now. This is usually because you don't have any workers trained to upgrade it, or because upgrading the building would require it to expand, and there's no space for it to do so.

Repairing buildings

Buildings that have been damaged in an attack should be repaired, which again means shutting them while work is done. Repairing buildings requires resources just like upgrading them does.

The "repair" button appears instead of the "upgrade" button on buildings that have been damaged, or can be activated by hitting 'r' on the keyboard.

Maintaining buildings

Some buildings need constant maintenance - for example, inns need to be continuously resupplied with wheat. Your globs will automatically assign themselves to these jobs, but you will need to set the number of globs you want working on each building.

Description des batiments

Ruche

Produit les globs (ouvrières, exploratrices et guerrières). Chaque glob coute 5 unités de Blé à produire.

En cliquant sur la ruche, trois barres horizontales apparaissent, vous permettent de spécifier la proportion de chaque type de glob à produire.

Si toutes les barres sont à 0, aucune glob ne sera produite ; si une seule barre n'est pas à 0, seules les globs correspondantes seront produites, ...

Auberge

Fournit de la nourriture aux globs. Les globs ont besoin de manger régulièrement, sinon elles mourront de faim, il est important d'avoir assez d'auberges pour nourrir toutes les globs.

Les auberges peuvent contenir des fruits, qui sont des éléments avancés de la stratégie du jeu.

Hôpital

Soigne les globs blessées. Les globs qui perdent des points de vie à cause de la faim ne peuvent être soignées avant d'avoir mangé.

Piste de course

Permet aux ouvrières et aux guerrières de se déplacer plus vite.

Piscine

Permet aux ouvrières et aux guerrières de nager, une glob qui ne s'est pas entraînée dans la piscine est bloquée par l'eau

Camp d'entrainement

Permet aux guerrières d'améliorer leur force et leur vitesse de combat

École

Enseigne aux ouvrières la construction de batiments de niveau supérieur.

Les écoles de niveau 3 améliorent le prestige et permettent d'apprendre aux guerrières à attaquer des objectifs au sol.

Tourelle

Attaque les globs et batiments ennemis à proximité.

Les tourelles doivent être alimentées en pierres, qu'elles transforment en boulets. Quand elles sont pleines de boulets, les tourelles peuvent stocker des pierres correspondant à un remplissage du stock de boulets.

Les tourelles ont besoin de beaucoup de maintenance quand elles sont utilisées.

Mur de pierre

Créée une barrière bloquant le passage et la croissance des ressources.

Marché

Permet d'échanger des fruits avec les autres joueurs. Vous pouvez spécifier si vous voulez importer ou exporter chaque type de fruit.

Pour plus d'information sur les marchés, voyez la section fruits. Les marchés stockent des fruits dans un conteneur global pour le joueur.

Building strategy

• Try to give your buildings enough space for future growth. Remember that nearby forests and fields can grow around your buildings, and are very difficult to clear out later on.
• Try not to create narrow alleyways between your buildings - they can easily fill up with globs that can't get out. If you do find alleyways developing, try blocking them off with forbidden areas.
• In general, the more a route is used, the wider the path between the points on it needs to be. When you start designing your town, try to think about how large it will grow by the end of the game.
• Try building four small buildings back-to-back. This can save space and reduce the amount of walking your globs need to do without making it too hard for globs to get in and out of the buildings.
• Try to build buildings near to the resources they will need during construction and during use, so that your workers can make best use of their time.
• If you have to build buildings far from resources (or if your resources recede due to over-farming), you will need to assign more workers to it because of the extra time they spend travelling.
• Make sure your workers can get to enough resources before upgrading a building - they will happily wander into enemy territory to pick up resources if they have to.
• Be especially careful about upgrading your school and swimming pool at the same time. You need algae to upgrade the school and trained workers to upgrade the pool, so if you only have one of each, development could become deadlocked. If you fall into this trap, you will have to cancel one upgrade and restart it when the other is finished.
• Build several of each type of structure. You'll be able to train more globs at a time, continue training in one while the other is being upgraded, and have a spare in case one is attacked.
• If you manage to convert skilled enemy workers, you might be able to upgrade buildings beyond the level you can train your own workers for. Be careful though, because you will have only one or two workers that can work on these buildings.
• Workers can only upgrade buildings to a level equal to their level of building skill. Don't start too many upgrades until most of your workers can work at that level (you can check skill levels in the statistics? menu).
• Make sure to build enough inns for all your globs. If you have too few inns, globs can start to starve or convert to other teams. Worse still, you could wind up with so many hungry globs that your few well fed workers will spend all their time just keeping up with the demand for wheat.
