  Breach of Trust - Tips & Tricks FAQ

  Hello Citizens, To address struggles you have met in our latest expansion, we decided to gather all of your questions across community and give you couple of tips & tricks which should make your playthroughs easier! :) Check them out below: 1. Why am I running out of workforce at the start of the game?Steam Extraction Districts consume a large amount of workforce while producing a resource that is plentiful early on.

I'm struggling with food early in the game. What should I do?Use the Community Actions available to each starting community in New Edinburgh they can help offset the initial food shortage. Additionally, explore the Frostland early, as food is limited but available in surrounding territories.4. How can I explore the Frostland efficiently?Your starting Warm Logistics District provides 20 Frostland Teams, which is enough to reach medium-difficulty areas from the beginning of the game. Expect some injuries, but early exploration is an important source of food and other valuable resources.5. Why is my military campaign progressing so slowly?Recruiting Platoons takes time, so relying on a single Barracks significantly slows your army growth. Building multiple Barracks and securing a strong materials economy especially through Foundry research and eastern iron deposits will speed up your military expansion.6. What's ...
