Virtual Villagers 5 New Believers



IN All THE previous Virtual Villagerschapters, everyone on the island has

believed in you. You could touch them,pick them up, and tell them what to do,but things are not so simple anymore. InVirtual Villagers New Believers, you areintroduced to a new group of villagers,the heathens, or nonbelievers. Theseheathens have been through such anordeal that they dont believe in anythinganymore especially you! A red circleindicates that you have selected a heathen

villager. You cannot check their details(beyond their name and skill) nor interactwith them directly.

MASKSYou can distinguish the heathens fromyour believers by the carved masks theywear. The type of mask indicates theheathens role:

Non-aggressive HeathenThese heathens have losttheir faith and wear masks,but they bear no ill willtoward your believers. Theycan be safely approachedand potentially evenrestored to faith in you.

Aggressive HeathenAggressive heathenshave a distinctive, pointyyellow mask. If any of yourbelievers get too close toone of them, the aggressiveheathen will becomeenraged and chase themaway.

Scar HeathenScary heathens aregenerally larger and weara terrifying red mask. Anybeliever who gets tooclose to these heathenswill immediately stop whatthey were doing and runaway. Scary heathens aregenerally guarding specicareas and do not pursuebelievers like the aggressiveheathens do.

Believers & Heathens

ARTHuRS TIP

A heathens strength can also be theirweakness! The aggressive heathens willchase your believers toward the center ofthe map, but in doing so, they are easilydrawn away from their positions.

Continued ...



Master HeathenMaster heathens were likely

high ranking or esteemedmembers of their tribe. Theystill cover their face witha mask, but their specialmasks show their elevatedstatus among their peers.They tend to be masters at aprofession and can be safelyapproached.

Chief HeathenThe elaborate andextravagant mask of thisheathen suggests thathe is a very high rankingindividual, likely a chief orprince.

TOTEMSThe heathens came as refugees from a

great catastrophe and have not been herein the center of Isola much longer thanyour little believers. In order to feel safe,they have erected totems in various partsof this settlement that they believe protecttheir territory. To make use of the differentareas of the map, you need to dismantlethe 7 totems.

The Hngr Totem

The Hungry Totem waserected to protect a lushnoni fruit bush that rstsated the heathens hungerwhen they arrived here.The heathens continue todevour the noni fruit, andit doesnt look like the fruitwill last too much longer atthis rate.

The Hoow TotemThe Hollow Totem standsin front a dry lake bed. Thetotem and the lake bed areboth hollow.

The Bocking TotemThe Blocking Totem stands

as a wall and was erectednear an ancient mausoleumthat, for some reason,the heathens appear tohate. This totem protectstheir efforts to bury themausoleum.


Continued ...



The Pain Totem

The Pain Totem, throughunknown means, delivers anasty shock if you touch it.Its proximity to where theytend to their sick suggeststhat it protects their hospitaland those who are ill.

The Knowing TotemThe Research Totem

protects a makeshiftlab where the heathensconduct what they wouldcall experiments and techresearch. They are makinga mess.

The Rainbow TotemThe Rainbow Totem guardsclear pools of natural spring

water. The heathens seem tobe enjoying themselves inthere.

The Bind TotemSomething is strange aboutthis totem. Where Normallyyou can see anywhere youwant to see on the island,

but your vision is somehowunable to penetrate thehidden grove near thistotem.


ARTHuRS TIPWhen you bring down a totem, theheathens that were guarding it maymove to join the guards at anothertotem. Because of this, you need todecide carefully which totem you wantto dismantle frst. Keep in mind thatwhile you go about your business, theheathens may be consuming resources,such as the noni fruit, or engaging inother destructive behavior.



FAITH & CONVERSIONHeathen villagers dont believe in you. If

you drag a believer onto an approachableheathen, that believer will attempt toconvince the heathen that you (theplayer!) exist and are guiding them. Whena heathen is receptive, their faith meterwill move a bit toward the right.

If and when it crosses the middle, they will

remove the mask and join the believers.Note that if they were receptive, but havenot yet joined the believers, they cannotbe approached again for at least 1 hour.This effect is shown as a yellow glowabove the heathen.

DIVINE ENERGyDivine Energy is your energy. You needthis to use your God Powers. The morebelievers that believe in you, and thegreater their faith, the more Divine Energyyou will have. As your tribe grows, newGod Powers will be unlocked. When youspend your Divine Energy to use a GodPower, the amount of energy you haveavailable will be reduced. Your Divine

energy will replenish gradually over time.

DEVOTION SKIllWhen a believer tries to convert aheathen, she will gain skill at Devotion.Devotees replenish your Divine Energyfaster than other believers do.




THE STATuEAs your believers establish themselves

here in the center of Isola, they may startto construct a statue in your honor. Thisstatue will augment your Divine Energy.In addition it will house relics that willincrease your maximum Divine Energy.

GOD POWERSThe more energy you have, the more God

Powers you will have access to. When youuse a God Power you spend some energy,which will be replenished over time.There are a tota of 11 God Powers:

Spawn ButterfiesThis God Power is easyfor you to do and doesnot use much DivineEnergy. You simply call

forth butteries from allcorners of Isola to converge on the spotof your choice. It doesnt do much else,but its irresistible to children.

Spawn BeesThis God Power isthe same as SpawnButteries, exceptinstead of pretty,

colorful butteries itis a swarm of angry, stinging bees.Obviously, it can be useful to keepheathens occupied for a short time.

Divine SnshineDont like the weather?Make it hot and sunny!

lightning StrikeConcentrate a moderateamount of DivineEnergy into a singleterrifying lightningstrike.


Continued ...



Hand of Boom

Through sheer willyou are able tospontaneously acceleratevegetative growthwithin a small radius. Inevitably, ediblemushrooms will be present.

TempestToo hot and sunny? Callforth a violent rainstorm.

Dense FogYou are able to bringforth a dense fog thatwill prevent heathensfrom seeing eventheir own hands. Yourvillagers vision will remain unaffected.

Time WarpThrough the use of agreat deal of DivineEnergy, you can shifta single villager into aparallel time eld. Theywill have a highly accelerated rate ofmovement.

ReviveThis potent power can

revive one recentlydeceased villager. Itshould be used withcaution, and you shouldconsider carefully the cause of theirdeath.

Grant yothDo you have a favoritevillager? Keep them

around a while longer.

EarthqakeA simple and puredemonstration ofunbridled power. Thisfeat will leave youexhausted and everyoneon Isola shaken.


ARTHuRS TIPMost God Powers may be used in

multiple ways. For example: whilestinging bees are clearly antagonizing tovillagers, they are also expert pollinators.



PuzzlES AND MIlESTONESSCREENThere are 16 puzzles to solve. Here youwill nd the puzzles listed, with a hint foreach one in case you need a little nudge.The next section will contain complete

If this is the rst totem you are removing,

there will be no scary guards present.

GATHERING FOODThere are different sources of food thatwill become available to your villagers asthey progress in knowledge and skill andsolve various puzzles that they encounter.

Noni Frit

The delicious noni fruit are fairly abundantat the start of the game, but the heathensare eating them fast. Once they areexhausted, they replenish very slowly (ormore quickly with a little divine help).

Hdroponic Farm

Once the hydroponic farm is working, you

will have a sustainable, but limited, foodsource for your tribe. If food is runningshort, Hand of Bloom can ll the elds.

Fish

Once the lake is restored, and the sh are

brought back, your tribes food worriesshould be over. Just drop villagers into thelake, and they will bring sh out.Mshrooms

Mushrooms occasionally grow all aroundIsola. They are hard to see, and only

children can nd and retrieve them. Theyare delicious and nutritious, especially therare, red ones! Hand of Bloom will causemushrooms to spontaneously spawn.

ARTHuRS TIPUsing Hand of Bloom to createmushrooms is a great way to feed yourtribe, but it can also be used to distractheathens!
