});

## 💡 **KEY DESIGN DECISIONS:**
### **Capital City Strategy:**
- **ONE massive city** instead of 27 equal towns
- Capital is ultimate goal, sends help to farm
- Legendary rewards create clear incentive
- Staged population prevents overwhelming content dump
### **Museum Evolution:**
- **Visual growth** motivates collection
- 169 collectibles provide longevity
- Album UI creates "completion" gameplay loop
- Museum teleporter network adds late-game value
### **School System:**
- **Mandatory education** for stat boosts
- Creates generational planning strategy
- Incentivizes early restoration
- +15% efficiency is significant but not broken
### **Magic Helpers:**
- **Automatic boost** after town restored
- Combined +35% build speed is powerful
- Different species = different personalities
- Can recruit to farm (limited slots)
