Basic Breeder Life

Okay, you plop into the world of Monster Breeder... now what? Well for starters, you need to know a few things. You can read the lore later, but you should read it eventually. ;) First you're going to need a monster to fight with, and you're going to have to wait for it to hatch.

The Monster For You

It's important to choose a monster that you'll like. A more in-depth explanation is under the "Monsters" tab, but the general reasons to picking a certain monster type are as follows:

Evil: You want a fighter, not a lover. Monsters tend to be scary-looking and vile.
Good: You want a monster that can do either working or fighting, and lasts long. Monsters tend to be ethereal and pleasant.
Worker: You want a solid worker. It's fine at fighting, but low life expectancy can leave much to be desired. Monsters look tough and are usually hardy.
Cute: You want a monster that's more of a pet than anything. A slightly higher life expectancy and consumption of food aids these. They can still be used for battle, but won't be as strong as the evils with their evolution. Monsters look cute, and tend to be of friendly nature.
Normal: You want a monster... that much you know. But you can't decide. Well, these guys are perfect for you: no pro's, no cons! Monsters tend to be bland and have a varying nature.

Money

The root of all evil, and the way to support yourself. Raising that newborn monster is not easy - you're going to need to feed it and yourself. How much the monster eats is dependant on how much it's grown, and how much you eat is dependant upon priorities.

Barns & Houses

Barns and houses are used for two things. Both are used to increase your breeder level, because you are proving you are a stable breeder by having them. Then, barns are used to hold more monsters and food. Houses are for items, but also give more of a breeder level boost than upgrading for barns.

Upgrading, eh? Yes. You don't just buy a new house or barn. People come over and magically upgrade it in the matter of seconds. They replace the old materials with new, while also making it better or bigger. How much you can upgrade to is dependant upon the city's current material research.

When you upgrade, a percent of the purchase goes towards the city's financial funds... if they have a tax set up for it, that is.

Priorities

Every night at 10 minutes before midnight, your choices for living are tallied and you are taxed for however much you are living. Every night you get +600 Bux to work with, and your priorities take away from that. More info in the "Health & Priorities" tab.

Achievements

Achievements are just a simple claim-to-fame for yourself. You get them by doing certain tasks, and sometimes they do have an effect which will be known to you when you have enough. ;) We don't believe in spoiling every last achievement for you, so you should find some out for yourself!
