The Promised Land
In this age of over population, it's hard not to daydream about having a nice little town all to yourself. But unless you're a billionaire, chances are the only way to experience the feel of colonization is through the gracious world of casual gaming. The Promised Land from Boolat Games is a pleasant simulation building and strategy game similar to Virtual Villagers that hands you a piece of uncharted land ready to be plundered. As an adventurer, you're off to find the elusive spring of eternal happiness and build yourself a town that could rival even the most advanced of civilizations!
Just after you land in this new, uncharted world, you get to work utilizing your four little helpers to do all of your bidding. Simply click, drag and drop villagers to assign tasks, bumping against the edge of the screen with your cursor to scroll across the map. There are a number of different professions to specialize in, including farmer, worker, builder, artisan, and scientist. A farmer will always be more productive when farming, for example, whereas a scientist will fumble a bit when set to a task like mining. Specializing in one area means your people will get more work done at a faster pace, so naturally it's a good idea to keep workers as focused as you can.
While watching over your minions, keep track of their hunger, happiness, and health, three stats that slowly decrease over time. Villagers are pretty smart and will take care of most major problems as they arise, but you can always click and drag them around to speed things up a little. As your colony expands, you must build houses to make sure each and every person has a place to call home. Homeless villagers will stand around listlessly, which not only gets in the way, but it doesn't help you obtain your goals, either!
Buildings are also a part of The Promised Land, and over the course of the game, you'll work with a number of different types of structures. Most require you study a topic at the laboratory before you can build them, and even when you have the technology, it always costs a certain amount of resources to get something built. Fortunately, earning resources is far from a boring affair. You can either complete the tasks listed at the bottom of the screen, or send out your ships to barter for goods with other colonies. But beware: pirates are all over the place, and they'd love nothing better than to get a hand or two on your stuff! Using your ship's cannons, you can fight them off using an Angry Birds style mini-game, pulling back the fuse to knock pirates from their perches.
Analysis: Much like the Virtual Villagers series or the more overlooked Floating Kingdoms, The Promised Land is a game that will have you looking at the clock and thinking, "Where in the world did my day go?" There's so much going on that there's never really a time when you can sit back and feel like you're adequately stockpiled on supplies. There's always this item or that item that needs to be made or collected, this building or that building that needs to be built or upgraded. But, you know, since you're low on resources, you'll have to do a few trading trips first, and we all know what that means: pirate cannoning time!
As with most casual sims, The Promised Land is all about managing the small details as you work towards a greater whole. The trading aspect is a notable departure from the usual formula, and it really sets this game out from the other offerings in the crowded genre. Combine that with a colorful visual presentation, characters that are filled with personality, and a poppy sort of active soundtrack and you've got one of the most fulfilling and varied sims on the market.
Clearly, any fan of resource management games will be squealing with glee at this new (and highly addictive) addition to the genre. Even if you're new to sims, you can easily pick up the basic ideas and quickly tackle that pesky quarry or garden. Here's to celebrating your summer right and having a little piece of a world to call your own!

The Promised Land Strategy Guide
General Tips
Workers have likes and dislikes for tasks, seen in the worker screen at the top. If you assign them to tasks they dislike, their morale will drop. Improve morale by allowing them to stop for conversations with each other, if needed.
A good way to increase reputation early on is through selling goods during high demand for them. You'll get a popup notification when a good is in demand, and stocking your ship with whatever item is needed will earn extra coins and reputation when you sell the items. Some quests also increase rep.
You get payment for the goods you sell as soon as you send the ship, not once it returns. This means that if you need money or reputation in a hurry, you don't need to wait for the ship to return before you can spend it.
Buy new workers early on in the game, as soon as you have space for them. You don't need to buy the expensive guy; just make sure you have plenty of people collecting wood, mining, etc. Extra workers won't do anything while they don't have housing, but they'll wait around until you have room for them.
Workers in a job they enjoy will give you a big thumbs up or a bow when you assign them. Their morale will stay high, and they're quicker at the job, so try to match workers with jobs they like. The worker screen will also tell you the job they like most, and which they dislike the most.
Need goods in a hurry? Workers walking back to your town hall with items can be dragged to speed things up!
Put as many workers as you can spare in the laboratory when you first research it. Research points are needed for research (of course), which is essential for being able to build new buildings. You can't progress without these, so research away! Early on, its good to have two or three researchers in the lab, and increase it to 5, including a Master of All, when you can.
Once research on every tech is complete, remember to reassign your researchers to other tasks.
If you save your research points and put them into construction first, rather than nature as the game suggests, you'll be able to build more housing—and therefore employ more workers sooner.
After researching construction, you can also build more rooms in your houses, allowing you to have more workers. Do this early on for maximum productivity!
Once you upgrade the forge, you can make tools—which are needed for clearing fields, amongst other things. You can only make one type of item at the forge at a time, though, so build what you need.
Once you've cleared the reeds, workers may get injured as they do tasks. They'll need a hospital to recover, which should be kept stocked with healing herbs. You can grow healing herbs in the lower field, but to start with there's a small rock on the right to harvest them from.
The kitchen is essential for feeding your workers. Putting a Master of All in it might be a good idea to ensure a quick turnover on food. A fully upgraded kitchen can make a lot of food, but make sure it doesn't run out of stock.
Remember that when you hire more workers, you'll be using more food. Increase food production accordingly.
The final two ship upgrades are the least important. Leave them until the end—they unlock more pirate missions, but the money and resources are better spent on other things early on.

Make 10 units of linen cloth for the natives: This is a timed mission and can trigger at the same time as the corn one, making it tricky to assign enough workers to both. Remember this is for linen cloth, not linen itself—so you'll need workers harvesting linen on the field, and in the weavery making it into cloth. Reward: 250 reputation, 25 exotic wood. Time bonus 10 exotic wood.
Sell 35 units of coffee: This is a timed mission—but easy if you have a stockpile of coffee already. Remember you need to sell it using the boat, rather than simply harvesting it it. Reward: 150 reputation, 600 coins, plus a 200 coins time bonus.

Sell 24 units of pepper: This is a timed mission, but if you're well stocked with peppers, its simple. Remember to sell the peppers using the ship. Reward: 180 reputation, 400 coins, 200 coin time bonus.
Produce 30 units of flour: This is a timed mission. Reward: 200 reputation, 8 gold products, 8 silver products. Time bonus 200 reputation.

Make 30 units of wool cloth for the natives: Wool from the Fluffer (llama creatures) is used in the upgrade weavery to make wool cloth. The mission triggers as soon as you upgrade the weavery to max, so stock up on wool first for an easier time with it. Reward: 1 sundial piece, 15 gold products. Time bonus 5 gold products.
Explore the Ancient Temple: Repair the temple and see what's inside. Reward: 1000 reputation and 1000 gold—not that you'll need either this late in the game!
Sell 10 products: Load 10 gold products onto the boat to sell. This is a timed mission, but pretty easy if you don't sell everything as soon as its made. Reward: 200 reputation 700 coins time bonus 300 coins
Sell 5,000 gold products(!): This is a timed mission. Don't worry though, the mission name and description is wrong and you're actually looking for 5,000 REVENUE form gold products, which means you'll need to sell about 77. Reward: 1000 reputation 2000 coins 1000 coin time bonus.
Solve the final puzzle: You will only be assigned this task if you don't immediately complete the temple puzzle. To claim the reward, you'll need to continue your game after the credits roll. Reward: 10,000 coins.
Final Temple Puzzle
Rotate the pieces around until the jewels are all in the quarter matching their color.
There's no quick solution to this—just push gems to the outside edge of the board, and move them round until you can push them into the middle.
You can skip the puzzle anyway.
Missions
Missions are unlocked after buying the fort. Click it to bring up the mission select screen. Upgrading your boat unlocks more missions, for a total of 12. All the missions use the same physics style minigame.
You can replay missions for a small coin bonus, but the main reward is only given once.
New Cannon: Play the Angry-Birds-style mini game against some pirates. One well placed shot should take out the center and everything around it, then use one more ball to clear up any remaining pirates if needed. Reward: 150 coins, 50 reputation.
In hot pursuit: The boat is bigger this time, with more pirates on board. Use the same strategy as before.
Answering an attack: 3 boats this time. Take them out one at a time; they're too far apart form big chain reactions. Reward: 200 coins, 90 reputation, 10 gold.
The Quest Continues: One boat in front of some cliffs. You can bounce a shot off the smaller boat and under the cliffs to knock out the supports of the structure the other pirates are on. Reward: 300 reputation, 100 coins, 10 gold ore.
The Lair of the Beast: The pirates are spread out along 5 small rocks. You can clear the first two with one hit to the first structure, causing a small chain reaction, and the second two the same way. One more shot to the pirates at the end will still award a 5 star rating. Reward: 350 coins, 130 reputation, 10 gold ore.
Rescuing the princess: This is made up of two structures, but across 4 different rocky islands. Aim high and knock the wooden barrel off to the right to destroy everything on the far right island in one go, then take out the closer structure with a more traditional shot to the center. Reward: 400 coins, 150 reputation, 8 silverware.
Lost Tides: Clear the small structure in front of the ship first, then aim high so that the ship collapses and knocks the pirates at the back off as well. Reward: 450 coins, 30 silver ore, 8 silver products.
The Leviathan: There's a horizontal plank in the center of the structure that will take a big part of it out if you hit it with a ball. Aim for that first, then clear up what's left. You have fewer cannonballs this time than in earlier missions, so line up your shots carefully. Reward: 500 coins, 30 gold ore, 8 gold products.
Port Attack: The difficulty here is from how spread out the mission is. The center structure is covered with barrels, which roll and take out most of the level, so aim for that first. Reward: 600 coins, 12 silver products, 10 gold products.
The Swashbuckler: This is a big structure and solidly built. Aim near the back at first, because the barrels in the middle will roll right and do some of the work for you. Reward: 700 coins 300 reputation, 20 silver products.
Back to back: Starting with the middle ship may make this one a bit easier. The ships are all packed with heavy objects, so chain reactions are important. Reward: 800 coins, 400 reputation, 40 gold ore.
Payback time: The central tower is quite difficult to topple directly from cannonball hits. Aim to knock the other pillars into it, or use it to push other pillars out the way if you prefer. Reward: 900 coins, 500 reputation, 15 gold products.

FAQ
What's the best order to do stuff in?
The game suggests a path for you to follow with the quests it gives you. However, you may find you can progress faster by choosing a different build order. Increasing worker numbers early on can help you progress, whereas upgrading the ship can wait until late in the game.
Can my workers die?
No—but they won't work if they're too hungry, if they don't have a room, if morale is too low, or if they're injured. They will automatically look for anything they need, as long as they have a room.
I ran out of food. Is that game over?
Nope. Drag your workers to a direct source of food, such as the orange tree. they'll eat some of the food themselves, and then start carrying the rest back to your town hall.
I need more workers but I can't buy a new house yet.
You can upgrade the number of rooms in existing houses before the quest to do so appears. Remember to line up the doors to ensure access to each room. Solutions for each of the houses are presented earlier in this guide.
How much produce should I sell?
Check the timed missions for an idea of what to keep on hand. Timed missions are much easier to complete if you already have a surplus of stock. Other than that, you can sell anything you aren't using, although it's a good idea to keep hold of your food and try to sell other stock during price increases.
Can you fail timed missions?
No—if you don't complete them in time, you just won't receive the time bonus. There's no other penalty and you can continue the mission after the time limit expires. You can get the gold achievement without completing every tied mission in time.
How do I complete timed missions? Some of these are impossible!
Assign every worker you can to the relevant jobs. Speed them up by dragging them between locations yourself, such as from the mine to the Town Hall. If you have Master of All workers, use those for faster production. Keeping stockpiles of resource can help you as well.
Is there a prize for getting 5 stars in the pirate missions?
Nope. The pirate missions give the same reward when you beat them regardless of your rating. There isn't an achievement for 5-starring them all, either.
Do achievements give me anything?
Just the pride of achieving them.
Can I keep playing after I complete the game?
Yes, but there's nothing else to do. If you want to max out all the achievements or finish missions of upgrades you missed before, you can, but its pointless.
What is a Master of All?
These are special workers that are good at any task. Its a good idea to put one of them in research, and one in the kitchen, and reassign the researcher if you happen to urgently need extra help in other places, such as for a timed mission.
Are resources limited? What is the number that appears when I mouse over them?
Resources deplete as they're harvested, but regenerate over time. The number shows the current total available for collection by workers, who harvest one unit per trip. For this reason, you shouldn't use more than two workers for fishing, or more than one for healing herb collection, as the resource will run out and your workers will have to wait around before they can keep collecting it.
How do I disable auto pause when I click outside the game window?
Sorry, you can't.
The mission list is in the wrong order!
Most of the missions are triggered by upgrades, buildings, or events as you play. If you improve your ship to the maximum level early on for example, you'll see the ship missions earlier in the game.
What happens if I complete a mission before it's set?
You'll get a popup congratulating you on your work, and the mission rewards will be paid out to you as usual.
