Where reputation comes from, the medal engine, and bringing friends in.
Reputation is the main progression gate between tiers. You can't grind it with gold — you earn it by playing actively.
| Source | Amount | When |
|---|---|---|
| Gather action fires | +2–4 | Random amount each tick a queued gather executes |
| Active tick bonus | +1 | Any tick where at least one action fired |
| Library bonus | +1 × level | Active players in cities with a Library — scales with the Library's level (L1 +1, L2 +2, L3 +3 …) |
| Wilderness medals | +5–10 | One-time: First Expedition (+5), Packed and Ready (+5), Roughing It (+5), Off the Grid (+10), Civilized (+10) |
| Medal: First Gather | +5 | One-time, on your first successful city gather |
| Medal: Full Queue | +5 | One-time, when you fill all your city queue slots |
| Medal: Builder | +10 | One-time, when a project completes and you contributed |
| Medal: Artisan | +5 | One-time, when your first workbench craft completes |
| Build project completion | up to +25 | Proportional to your contribution; top contributor gets max |
| Recruiting | +50 | When someone you recruited reaches Citizen tier |
Medals are one-time events — the bot will message you when you unlock one. One gather action fires per hour, earning a random +2–4 ⭐ Reputation plus +1 activity bonus — so +3–5/hr base, or +4–6/hr in a city with a Level 1 Library (more at higher Library levels — the bonus scales with level). Citizen (100 ⭐ Reputation) takes roughly 20–33 hours of active play depending on luck and your city's Library level.
The table above is not a complete list — more medals exist throughout the game, tied to buildings, trades, tools, and activities not covered here. You'll discover them as you play.
Want the full catalog? Open 🏅 Medals in the bot menu, or send /medals. It lists every medal by category, and for the ones that climb through tiers — 🥉 Bronze up to 🔮 Mythic — it shows the tier you're on, what the next tier asks for, and how close you are.
🤫 Not every medal is on the list. A few secret medals exist — they only reveal themselves the moment you earn them. How do you find one? Play your way. Once you've earned at least one, the /medals overview shows a "+N secret" count in the header and a 🤫 Secret button — tap it to see which ones you've found. That reveal stays on its own screen, so you can forward or share your medals overview without giving away your secrets.
Bring in new players and earn reputation for it. Recruits only count once they reach Citizen tier — so quality matters more than quantity.
When someone joins via your link and later reaches Citizen, you receive +50 reputation and your recruiter title advances:
| Recruits | Title |
|---|---|
| 1 | Scout |
| 5 | Recruiter |
| 15 | Talent Broker |
| 30 | City Architect |
