But the more villages that count on you, the harder it is to satisfy them. So far I've got a sphere that moves around and boosts a number on any \"village\" it's near, with constantly declining numbers for each. A central tracker shows the average rating of every village you're responsible for, currently just the middle one. ![20171201shattered_spirit.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/330\/e\/z\/9770.jpg)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kris Schnee","author_uid":"1057395","time":"2017-12-03T01:51:28Z","epoch":1512265888,"modified":1512265888,"text":"![20171202shattered_spirit.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/330\/e\/z\/9c54.jpg)\nBesides decoration, I've got a gravity pull from the villages. Villages start draining Belief when you're away and they have a miracle to request. You fulfill requests by going to a village and hitting Space. Do a good job and more villages start making demands, lowering your average belief level. It's game over if you fall below 20% average! Next up is to have several types of miracles so you have to hit the right key, I think, and maybe some incentive to go chasing after artifacts or something instead of always hanging around town.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kris Schnee","author_uid":"1057395","time":"2017-12-03T07:34:29Z","epoch":1512286469,"modified":1512286469,"text":"![20171202shattered_spirit_2.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/330\/e\/z\/9d61.jpg)\n\nTerrain, sound, spells, and a Dark Spirit for those who win over the fantasy village of Edmunton!
