A lot of my games look complicated but are actually quite easy to play and this one is also rather straightforward. Whatever you're doing is probably pretty close to what you're "supposed" to do. Some tips:
- The church has two events that can only be seen if you've surrounded it with goblin huts, slum dwellings or trashfires. Make sure that Heater visits it at least once before you do this.
- Zoo date becomes accessible if Heather passes it, and defeats the enemy in the district and has a naughtiness score of at least 3.
- 3 of the events are related to Heather losing a fight. You'll generally just find them through the normal course of the game because her resistance (shields) decreases when her lust (hearts) is high.
- In combat, setting up a big chain reaction of items on the first turn to hit multiple enemies is the best strategy. Don't worry about wasting items, you will get more than enough. Use the phone if Heather is going the wrong way.
- Just having a mix of different buildings in town is good enough. Be careful about timing your trips to districts with many residential buildings because you will lose a lot of citizen mood points if Heather is defeated.
