| Game events | 2022-03-01 | Hello! In our latest article, we talked about game events. Today we’ll focus on the details of these mechanics. After the event occurs, the player will have to make a choice that greatly affects anything that will follow. There is a setback time for the events. When the conditions are the same to trigger the event, it can be shown to the player again. Some of the events are unique and will be shown to the player only once. Sometimes you’ll need more resources to choose one of the event options. On the contrary, you can get extra resources in some cases. Quite often, one of the options to choose in an event will trigger the next step of that e |
| Game events | 2022-02-18 | Hello! In this short article on game development, we’d like to shed some light on the mechanics of game events, which we mentioned earlier. You might have already seen similar mechanics in other games. As the name suggests, game events are different events taking place in the game world. Events are triggered when certain conditions are met. For example, some game events may be caused by the capture of one of the masters, the lack of money from any estate in a country, or if there is an upcoming war, etc. When an event is triggered, the player needs to decide on how they will react to this event. There are different consequences to any reactio |

| The Brotherhood Lodge | 2022-02-03 | Greetings! Today's article is about the upcoming update. In addition to regularly enhancing game performance and fixing bugs, we’ll be focusing on the Brotherhood Lodge in the next update. The lodge has been a part of the game for a long time, and some game mechanics, such as resource extraction, are strongly associated with it. Still, we’ve always wanted to increase the role of the lodge in the gameplay and make it more important. Now it’ll be necessary to create a Brotherhood lodge before you start your activities in the country. Without a lodge, it’s impossible to recruit members of the government and neophytes. Also, a number of master's |

| Logistics costs in Secret Government | 2021-12-15 | As you know, there is a quite complex economic model used in Secret Government. Today we’d like to address an aspect of logistics. Probably, you haven’t focused on the logistic costs parameter, but it is essential when setting the price if you buy or sell goods outside the region. You can see this parameter when you hover the cursor over the trade route. https://sun9-56.userapi.com/impg/zCqZ-LznRvlwszVEAq2sEf7vPdfR5nCyURp7lA/E2kmrZar7AM.jpg?size=587x492&quality=96&sign=cbead4aa10a65cd257ef7da7cefb38a9&type=album Logistic costs heavily depend on the geography of the region and its transport accessibility.

| Ideologies | 2021-12-07 | Welcome to another short article about the upcoming updates and the inside of Secret Government. Today we are going to talk about a very important part of the gameplay which is ideology. There are ideologies in any country. They have a large influence on the image of these countries. Ideologies set the selection of estates and the form of government in the country. Ideologies bring along values that determine the satisfaction of estates. https://sun9-36.userapi.com/impg/bZCLLc5WaMyfgraMu76qhjiTR8WSb03BL9yVnw/7jITBdm9wss.jpg?size=805x776&quality=96&sign=710d294ef3f357fceb40fcf473b1569e&type=album The key point in the spread of ideologies is id |

| Tutorials update | 2021-11-16 | Greetings to you, Grand Masters and leaders of Secret Societies! In this short article, our team would like to tell you the news about our game. Some time ago we developed a major update of the tutorial mode. Such a comprehensive and complex game as Secret Government can be quite difficult for a player in terms of the game mechanics, although lots of players enjoy the process of getting to know the game. However, we’ve walked the extra mile to make the tutorial mode easy and accessible.

| Изменения в грядущих апдейтах | 2021-11-01 | Вводная Грядущее обновление игры сильно изменит множество основных механик. Дабы те, кто уже знаком с игрой, не чувствовали себя совсем потеряно, когда запустят обновленную версию, мы решили описать некоторые изменения в этой короткой статье. Идеология Братства Теперь Братство и все его сторонники придерживаются идеологии, которую выбирает игрок на старте игры. Эта идеология определяет то, каким Братство хочет видеть мир, к чему стремится и какие методы достижения целей использует. Чем сильнее эта идеология распронанена по миру, тем проще Братству находить сторонников и добывать ресурсы для своей деятельности. Ресурсы Братства Система ресурсо |
| Upcoming changes in the updates | 2021-11-01 | Introduction The upcoming game update will greatly change many of the core mechanics. We decided to describe some of the changes in this short article so that our current players won’t feel completely lost when we launch the update. Brotherhood Ideology Now the Brotherhood and all its supporters follow the ideology that the player chooses at the start of the game. This ideology determines how the Brothers want to see the world, their goals and methods to achieve them. The more this ideology is shared around the world, the easier it is for the Brotherhood to find supporters and gain resources for the operational activities. Brotherhood Resourc |
