ACCAMMA CHERIAN - JHANSI RANI OF TRAVANCORE

  ACCAMMA CHERIAN - JHANSI KI RANI OF TRAVANCORE   In the struggle for independence, India was fortunate to have received the assistance from countless minds. They initially were forged due to the chains put on them by the colonial society.   They exhibited daring acts both against the society and the British. They still continue to inspire the future generations to act against injustice and for liberty through their deeds. The freedom fighter whom I knew was Accamma Cherian.                                                Accamma Cherian, well known as ’The Jhansi ki Rani of Travancore’, was born in 14 February 1909 in Kanjirappaly, Travancore, part of the now Kerala.

You will gradually unlock more options in the left side to build different facilities. 

By clicking the bottom most right option, you will get more info on the current number of citizens in  your city,  how many of them are housed, how many of them are working and how happy they are. As your ultimate role is to make a sustainable city with happy citizens you have to look at the happiness rate. You will also get the amount of food, wood, stone, knowledge , machine parts, steel and computer chips  left.

The Boost option is an ad you could watch to get your production doubled and to get bonuses. You can avoid seeing ads by getting the premium version .

 You can make all this go away by clicking the option again for better view. 

The pause button will pause the time and the play button if clicked can make the time go faster and after clicking once again will return it into normal time. 
  
The Question Mark (?) will tell you the current task you will have to do .

Creative Building And Production Growth

After understanding the basics,  you should actually follow the first few tasks until you can create your city in your own way , just like in minecraft, where you should first make wooden tools before you proceed .

You should be careful not to exploit your natural resources before you could sustainably produce wood or stone.  
 
You could select how you could utilize these resources by clicking on them.  You will get 3 options when you click on a forest.

Options for clicking Forest in the Final Earth 2 video game
.The circled number shows how much wood is left in that forest.
.You could either choose anyone option from the three.
1. The first one will make the workers cut down the forest whole and then let it grow back.
2. The second one is used to not cut it down 
3. This option is used to cut it whole and remove the forest totally for more space to build
Note- The green outline is the selected one
Prioritize option is used to make the workers prioritize this particular forest for wood production 
. The top right option of "One/All" is used to make the decision for all of the forests in the world. The bold outline is the one selected 

Likewise you can click on any building or element in the world to get more available options and choose from it. Some require you to upgrade using resources to choose a particular option.

You will be provided with citizens from spaceships until you receive a message 
 that all citizens have arrived . After that , you could only get more people through offsprings.

As citizens come , you will have to give them food and shelter.  Indoor farms should be prioritized first before knowledge production

I personally believe that wooden luxury homes are easy to create as well as can be upgraded to its full quality much easier than others. It also houses 4 residents unlike some others.

If you dont have the option at first ,just go with basic houses until you have the option to create luxury homes.

Make sure you don't create huge skyscrapers at first as you will get elevators later on which will increase working ability.  After that you will get teleportation facilities. 

You always have to do the first few tasks before getting into your creative process. You will soon be able to produce machine parts from machine parts factory , refined steel from refined steel factory and computer chips from it's own factory. 

You can only unlock this by using resources and knowledge. As steel, machine parts and other upgrades are mostly depended on stone , you also have to make a steady stone production

Remember not to exploit all stone mines in your world before getting a rock teleporter for infinity supply. Naturally produced  stone doesn't come back .

Wood production will be easier once you get tree plantations . Therefore you need not worry about wood production too much but still have some wood for upgrading 


All new upgrades require knowledge.  Thus knowledge production should be huge as the demand is only going to get more and more. You could build labs, research facilities,exploration centers for knowledge production.

Remember all buildings except houses needs workers to work . Simply creating buildings won't be of any use.

Management and citizens 

You could manage how people behave by having some facilities like medical research facilities ,city townhall etc. 

By using a city townhall you could name your city as well as use city policies.

You can also not use any of it if you don't want to. 

You could ensure birth control via medical facilities to increase or decrease population growth.

.  
As citizens are like real life people , they will need entertainment centers like pubs, nightclubs, arcades etc. You could easily create them from different options in the bottom left(balloons) . They will function only when there is a worker.

As the entire goal of the game is to create a sustainable city with happy people , you need to look at the happiness percentage.

If you click on the smily face , you will get more information about where people are happy and where people are not.

It is important to keep everyone in a job and all children to be in school. You can always create schools from the left of the entertainment purposes.

Scenarios
 When you have created an observatory,  you will be provided an option to continue upgrading your city or to go to the next city .

There are total of 3 scenarios in this game . You could unlock either by doing the story or by unlocking from the new city option in home tab.
 
You will also be provided with free play where you can get different types of world

You could save it in the given 10 slots or overwrite an existing one.

At this point, you will know what to do .

Additional features 
 You could select a citizen by clicking on a building and select either workers or residents.  You will be provided with names of the residents or workers . If  you select it , you could follow that citizen upclose ,see what it does.

The music is soothing and has the pitch to make us believe that we did something unique and is very good. It is credited to Stijn Cappetjin.

And this is all you need to know about the best simulation game of the 10s.

Where to get it 

It is available on steam and various other websites. Also it is available in Google play store for android and will be made available in app store for ios soon

Caging Skies - Original and JoJo Rabbit adaptation

    Caging Skies by Christine Leunens   * " Emotions lead you to what logic is incapable of finding on its own.”    * " A man who dreams he's being hunted isn't safe and sound in his bed. A man is where his spirit is. If he lived a base life with one woman but had another woman locked up in his heart the whole while, she was the only one he loved. The only one he really shared his life with. The most secret, powerful gift given to a man isn't life, but the capacity to snip at it in his mind, trim it in his heart, cultivate all the branches that should have been and were given life within the nicks in his will, the cuts of his soul. This is where the tree of life is hidden, grafted in each and every man". The above quotes from Caging Skies are just some of the deep ,meaningful lines from the book. The Author,  Christine Leunens , has the depth and style which makes us a part of the character's life. The author creates Johannes, a child of the second Wor...

INSURANCE - ITS FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE

INSURANCE - ITS FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE  INTRODUCTION   Life is full of uncertainties. An event causing loss to an individual or a firm is uncertain and is not in the controls of anyone. The chances are thus uncertain and these risks such as death, injury and accidents to a human being, burglary and fire risk to property and goods, natural calamities etc. can cause a huge loss. This loss may be so huge for the business that it may not be able to bear it and might have to be closed. Thus, insurance plays a key role in removing the hindrance of risk.  Insurance is a device by which the loss likely to be caused by an uncertain event is spread over a number of persons who are exposed to it and who prepare to insure themselves against such an event. it is a contract or agreement under which one party agrees in return for a consideration to pay an agreed amount of money to another party to make a loss, damage or injury to something of value in which the insured has a pecuniary in...
