Allocate Citizens According to Needs Not Wants
4 Things You Need to Know About Ni No Kuni 2
Evan’s new kingdom of Evermore is a metropolis that you’ll build from scratch. As you construct new buildings and recruit more citizens, you’re able to level-up the kingdom and expand its territories. This will, in turn, pave the way for even more advanced structures to be built. Many of these offer cool perks, such as the Spellworks’ magical upgrades, the opportunity to bolster your attack at the weapon workshop, and the ability to “cook” Higgledies at the Higglery. These are sure to pique your interest more than mundane facilities like farms, ranches, and fish markets. Don’t overlook these, though, because allocating citizens to these quarries – even if they aren’t necessarily suitable for the job – will net you dozens of resources that you can collect from your Stores tab.
As you work toward expanding the kingdom by completing side quests and errands, and if you are wanting to craft exciting new weapons and spells, for that matter, you’ll need as many resources as you can get. It is, therefore, prudent to build these resource gathering facilities and assign at least one citizen to their productivity. When the kingdom’s population expands, you can then go back and assign each character to their specialty as you see fit.
