As your hearthlings work at a job they will gain experience and levels. Each job has a specific role like hauling materials, building, crafting. A job is like a class in a role playing game. Level Up Your Settlers All the settlers in your towns have jobs. Do you want to build a great conquering empire? A vibrant trade city? A spiritual monastery? We really want you to feel like this is your settlement, and give you the tools that make it look and operate exactly as you wish.

You have the flexibility to choose your own path in this game. Once you’ve achieved a foothold in the world, it’s up to you to write the destiny for your people. When you’re just starting out, you’ll need to juggle tasks like obtaining a sustainable food supply, building shelter, and defending your fledgling settlement from raiders and other threats. The heart of the game is city building and management. The Humans are split into three kingdoms, each of which has it’s own playstyle, along with benefits and drawbacks. The Humans are the only playable race implemented as of version 1.1. Each race has their own playstyle depending on the biome you pick for them to live in with their own starting talisman.

Additional community created races and kingdoms are playable as well, added through modding. The non-human races have no announced time frame for when they will be playable, the Dwarves are planned to be added by ACE. There are various kingdoms in Stonehearth with three playable kingdoms, The Ascendancy, Rayya’s Children, and The Northern Alliance.
