Player Character Stats & Attributes

Understanding and managing your character's stats and attributes is crucial for survival and prosperity in the harsh world of Medieval Dynasty. These values directly impact your effectiveness in various tasks, your ability to endure the elements, and ultimately, the success of your burgeoning settlement. This section will detail each attribute, how to improve it, and its practical applications.

Core Attributes & Their Impact

Your character possesses several core attributes that govern their physical and mental capabilities. These are not directly leveled but are influenced by your skills and equipment.

  • Health (HP): Your primary survival stat. Reaching 0 HP results in death.
    • Recovery: Health regenerates slowly over time, especially when well-fed and rested. Consuming food items like Roasted Meat (+15 HP), Berries (+2 HP), or crafted meals such as Potage (+20 HP) provides immediate boosts. Sleeping in a bed, particularly a well-built one in your home, significantly accelerates recovery.
    • Enhancement: While there's no direct "Health" skill, higher levels in skills like Survival can indirectly improve your resilience by making it easier to find food and craft healing items. Certain clothing items, like the Wool Tunic, offer minor environmental protection, reducing damage from cold.
  • Stamina: Represents your physical energy for actions like running, chopping trees, mining, and fighting.
    • Recovery: Stamina regenerates quickly when not performing strenuous activities. Resting (standing still for a few seconds) or sitting down on a bench or chair will speed up recovery.
    • Enhancement: The Extraction and Hunting skill trees offer perks that reduce stamina consumption for their respective activities. For example, the "Efficient Chopper" perk in Extraction reduces stamina cost for felling trees. Eating specific foods like Mushroom Soup (+5 Stamina) can provide a temporary boost.
  • Food: Your hunger level. Depleting this causes starvation and health loss.
    • Management: Keep a steady supply of food. Early game, focus on gathering Berries, hunting Rabbits for Raw Meat (which needs cooking at a campfire), and fishing. As your village grows, farming Wheat and Cabbage allows for more sustainable food production and diverse meals like Bread and Cabbage Soup.
    • Storage: Build a Food Storage building early to prevent spoilage and provide a central hub for your villagers' food needs.
  • Water: Your thirst level. Depleting this causes dehydration and health loss.
    • Management: Drink from rivers, lakes, or wells. Crafting Waterskins (requires Leather) allows you to carry water for extended expeditions. Later, building a Well in your village provides a convenient and safe water source.
    • Purification: While not strictly necessary for basic survival, boiling water at a campfire or using a Water Filter (crafted at a Workshop) can prevent potential illnesses from contaminated sources, though this is less prevalent in early game.
  • Weight Capacity: The maximum amount of items you can carry. Exceeding this severely slows you down.
    • Enhancement: The primary way to increase weight capacity is through the Survival skill tree. The "Strong Back" perk, for instance, significantly boosts your carrying limit. Equipping certain clothing items, such as a Leather Backpack (crafted at a Sewing Hut), also provides a substantial increase.
    • Strategy: Prioritize carrying essential tools, food, and water. When gathering resources, make frequent trips back to your Resource Storage or drop excess items to be retrieved later. Consider using a Donkey or Horse for long-distance hauling once you can afford them.

Skill Trees & Progression

Your character gains experience in various skills by performing related actions. Each skill tree has multiple levels, unlocking new crafting recipes, building options, and powerful perks.

  • Extraction: Gained by chopping trees, mining ore, and gathering resources like sticks and stones.
    • Key Perks: "Efficient Chopper" (reduces stamina for woodcutting), "Miner's Luck" (increased chance for rare ores).
    • Actionable Step: Early game, focus on felling trees with a Stone Axe near your starting location. As you progress, craft a Copper Axe or Iron Axe for faster gathering and higher skill gain.
  • Hunting: Gained by hunting animals, skinning carcasses, and setting traps.
    • Key Perks: "Silent Hunter" (reduces animal detection range), "Trapper's Wisdom" (improves trap efficiency).
    • Actionable Step: Start with a Stone Spear or Stone Bow to hunt Rabbits and Boars. Later, upgrade to a Recurve Bow and Iron Arrows for more challenging prey like Bears and Wisents.
  • Farming: Gained by tilling fields, sowing seeds, harvesting crops, and tending to orchards.
    • Key Perks: "Fertile Ground" (increased crop yield), "Master Farmer" (faster field work).
    • Actionable Step: Begin by crafting a Stone Hoe and establishing a small field near your village. Plant easy crops like Cabbage or Carrots. Expand your fields and diversify crops as your workforce grows.
  • Diplomacy: Gained by interacting with NPCs, completing quests, and trading.
    • Key Perks: "Silver Tongue" (better prices with vendors), "Charismatic Leader" (improves villager mood).
    • Actionable Step: Always engage in dialogue with NPCs, even if just for small talk. Complete side quests offered by villagers and travelers. When trading, try to sell items with high value-to-weight ratios, such as crafted Wooden Vases or Linen Thread.
  • Survival: Gained by gathering wild plants, fishing, crafting basic survival items, and enduring harsh weather.
    • Key Perks: "Strong Back" (increased weight capacity), "Forager's Eye" (highlights gatherable resources).
    • Actionable Step: Continuously gather Sticks, Stones, and wild Berries. Craft Stone Knives and Waterskins. Explore the map to discover new resource nodes and points of interest.
  • Production: Gained by crafting items at various workshops (e.g., Workshop, Sewing Hut, Smithy).
    • Key Perks: "Master Crafter" (reduced resource cost for crafting), "Efficient Production" (faster crafting speed).
    • Actionable Step: Start by crafting simple items like Wooden Spears and Stone Axes at your Workshop. As you unlock more advanced buildings, focus on producing goods that are in demand for trade or for your village's needs, such as Linen Fabric or Iron Tools.

Managing Your Character's Well-being

Beyond raw stats, your character's overall well-being is influenced by several factors:

  • Mood: Affects your character's stamina regeneration and overall efficiency. A good mood is maintained by having a comfortable home, sufficient food and water, and completing quests. Sleeping in a well-furnished house (e.g., with a Wooden Bed, Table, and Chair) significantly boosts mood.
  • Temperature: Exposure to extreme heat or cold can lead to health and stamina penalties.
    • Cold: Wear appropriate clothing like a Fur Hood, Wool Tunic, or Leather Boots. Staying near a campfire or indoors provides warmth.
    • Heat: Lighter clothing like a Linen Tunic helps. Staying in shaded areas or near water can mitigate the effects.
  • Intoxication: Consuming alcohol (e.g., Beer, Wine) temporarily boosts mood but can impair movement and vision. Use sparingly.

By actively managing these attributes and skills, you'll ensure your character is always ready to face the challenges of building your medieval dynasty.
