Part 1

New to Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars? This guide breaks down the basics of colony development, resource management, and military expansion to get you started on your path to victory.

Alright, so you've booted up Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars and you're staring at your brand new colony. Don't worry if it feels a bit overwhelming at first – that's totally normal! This game is all about building up your empire, expanding your reach, and, yeah, eventually blowing up your enemies. Think of it like Sim City meets Civilization, but with a faster pace and a lot more lasers.

Your main goal here is to develop your colony, grow your population, and research new tech so you can build some serious firepower. You'll start with just a City Centre, a few homes, and some colonists. Your first big task? Food! Seriously, get a farm up and running right away because if your colonists starve, you're in big trouble. Once food is sorted, you need to focus on growing your population. This means claiming new territory, which will inevitably lead to conflict with other factions. War is pretty much unavoidable, so get ready for it!

While you can win by building a certain number of City Centers or capturing special Shrines, most of the time, victory comes down to wiping out your opponents completely. So, let's dive into how you get your colony off the ground and ready for action.
