Fulfillment is the measure of needs and wants being met for subjects in a settlement. The player must make sure their settlement satisfies as many needs and wants as possible. All of the species have different preferences and the player must cater to all of them.

Fulfillment has a major impact on citizen happiness. When a species' happiness is greater than 80%, immigration can occur and at greater rates as happiness nears 100%. When happiness is low, citizens may choose to leave the settlement. Happiness influences citizen loyalty. When a species' loyalty is below 100%, there is a chance that a riot can occur, with the chance increasing as loyalty declines and becomes further from 100%. When riots occur, other species can join in.

Slaves also have fulfillment stats and these impact how submissive they are. As submission decreases from 100% the chance that a slave uprising can occur increases.

In most cases, focusing on satisfying fulfillment will result in the player not needing to worry about citizen loyalty and happiness or slave submission.

Categories

There are seven categories of fulfillment and most offer not only information about existing needs, but also configurable controls that can impact those needs, such as granting access to more food, denying access to a specific service, or even deciding what religion people may practice. All of this information can be viewed and controls can be set for everyone at once or a specific species. The below will be explained as if viewing only one particular species. For the particular species being viewed, only the fulfillment items with a green/red bar to the right are actually cared about by that species.

Population

Population GUI

The Population GUI shows settlement population, the average age of the population, the population broken down by age ranges, detailed increases/decreases to the population per day, the amount of immigrants that would like to be let in, a slider and button to authorize a specific amount of immigrants their entry, a slider to automatically authorize immigrants up to a certain total population, and, finally, fulfillment information related to the population.

  • Population - The amount of citizens living in your city. This does not include children, as they are not considered citizens yet.
  • Wrongful Deaths - The amount of people who have wrongfull died. This memory lingers in the minds of people after the events, but will slowly be forgotten.
  • Nobles - The amount of nobles of this species.

Access GUI

The Access GUI shows the current access to food, equipment, housing, and furnishings for housing. There are controls to set the quantity of food and drink rations that are available to citizens, as well as what foods they are allowed to eat. Foods inside a white square indicate food that a species prefers. The amount of equipment can be adjusted, as well as the furnishings citizens are allowed to have in their homes.

Food

  • Starvation - If a subject can't find food when hungry, it will eventually start to starve. Starving subjects will refuse to work, instead they will spend all their remaining effort to find something to eat.
  • Food Pref. - Food Preference. Each species has its own preference in food in the form of a list of edible resources. Each time a subject eats, it craves a specific food resource, selected randomly from the list. If the subject is successful in finding it, food preference will go up. If not, it will go down. This mechanic only works when the subject visits a food service room and not when eating from the ground, or in a warehouse.
  • Food Days - How long the food in your stockpiles, eateries and canteens will last.
  • Food Rations - How many pieces of food each subject is allowed when they eat. Rations more than 1 can only be extracted from an eating service. Increases health.
  • Drink Rations - How many drinks subjects are allowed when thirsty. High rations will lead to more drunkenness and decrease health.

Equipment

Having your subjects equip certain items can boost them in different ways. It can also improve happiness amongst them.

Housing

  • Housing - The housing of your citizens.
  • Furniture - If allowed, subjects can use resources to furnish their dwellings. The resources used as furniture are consumed each year.

Environment

The Environment GUI is simply a long list of statuses for various wants/needs broken into several sub-categories.

  • Roads - The quality and access to roads the subject has. Try building roads in the busy parts of the city, and of higher quality, to increase this.

  • Others - The feeling towards your city's composition of species. A species may like or dislike another species.
  • Squareness - How squarely shaped your rooms are.
  • Roundness - How round and/or organically shaped your rooms are.

  • Corpses - Unburied corpses can upset your citizens. They can also spread disease.

Access

  • Noise - Noise travels from noisy rooms out into the open and disturbs your subjects. It's hindered slightly by walls. Placing double walls will eliminate noise entirely.

  • Space - Open space values.
  • Sweet Water - Proximity to sweet water. Some species are naturally drawn to water. The proximity increases output of farms and orchards. Sweet water can be accessed from non-ocean water sources and wells.
  • Salt Water - Proximity to salt water. Some species might be drawn to salt water.
  • Awe - Awe affects most people positively, and enforces their obedience to you. Improved by having statues and/or pillars and having the subject be within their radius of influence, or by certain roads.
  • Dread - Dread increases people's obedience, but can make them unhappy. Improved by certain roads (namely, dire roads).
  • Harmony - Some people like harmony and nature. Certain buildings emit harmony, such as trees. It is also improved by certain roads.
