So you've lost too many times, and you just want to beat the game and see the true ending?
Here's some good guidelines to win!
- Invest early into gold, you may want a bigger treasury than you'd think. Keep track of your unrest early on as well. Exercise is not that important.
- Security is easy to deal with early and mid-game, but will ramp up heavily later.
- The most important upgrades are your weight related ones to not get a game over, as well as getting the money making upgrade as soon as possible. The unrest upgrade is also nice to have, the security one is the least urgent upgrade.
- Exercising is a niche use, but can be used in case of emergency. It'll only delay the inevitable.
- Gold will be harder to focus on later on, but if you focused on that early it should be fine.
