🚧 Your Journey Begins

The Humble Start

You've just secured a bank loan (at a questionable interest rate, of course). You've got a dodgy apprentice who texts you at 7 AM saying "running 5 minutes late" (which actually means 2 hours), and a ute that's held together by duct tape and hope. But hey, everyone starts somewhere, right?

Your first contract is a simple project home. Nothing fancy, but it's a start. You submit your tender, cross your fingers, and somehow... you win! Time to build your first house and prove you've got what it takes.

⚡ The Chaos Unfolds

As progress claims come in, you think you're finally getting somewhere. But this is construction, and nothing ever goes to plan. Welcome to the world of Random Events - where Murphy's Law is the only law that matters.

🌧️ Weather Woes

⚠️ Storm Alert!

A freak storm hits out of nowhere. Your waffle pods for the slab get blown away like confetti. The council fines you for rubbish scattered across the neighborhood. The build is set back 2 weeks, and you're paying the client's rent while they wait. Cash flow? What cash flow?

🔧 Tradie Troubles

Your plumber was supposed to be here yesterday. Your electrician is "just around the corner" (he's actually at the pub). Your apprentice? Still "5 minutes away" from yesterday. Every delay costs money. Every missed deadline hurts your reputation. But that's the game, isn't it?

💰 The Great Copper Heist

🚨 Site Break-In!

Crackheads have stolen the copper from your walls. The build is set back a week, and it's going to cost you $1,200 to replace it all. At least they left the tools... wait, where are the tools?

🏛️ Council & Compliance

Site inspections are nerve-wracking. Will OSHA close your site for safety violations? Will the union shut down your site because someone forgot to wear a hard hat? One wrong move and you're looking at fines, delays, and angry clients.

🏢 Building Your Empire

But it's not all doom and gloom! As you complete jobs and build your reputation, opportunities start rolling in. You're bidding on multiple jobs, submitting tenders, and balancing cash flow like a pro.

💪 The Turnaround

🎉 New Home Owner Grant!

The government announces a new home owner grant. Suddenly, there's a flood of new work coming through. More jobs to bid on, more opportunities to grow. Things are finally looking up!

You've saved up enough to hire staff that aren't dodgy (well, less dodgy). You've finally replaced that busted ute with something that actually runs. The new ute means slightly faster build times - every little bit helps!

📈 Progression Path

Start with small project homes, then move up to two-storey houses. As your company grows, you'll unlock bigger contracts: apartments, highrises, and ultimately... skyscrapers. Each milestone brings new challenges, bigger budgets, and more chaos to manage.

⚙️ Core Game Mechanics

🎲 Random Events System

The heart of Battle of Builders is the Random Events System. Every build is different. Every day brings new challenges (and occasionally, new opportunities). Events can be:

❌ Negative Events

  • Weather delays (rain, storms, extreme heat)
  • Stolen materials and tools
  • Council fines and compliance issues
  • Tradies missing deadlines
  • OSHA site closures
  • Union shutdowns
  • Client change requests (mid-build, of course)
  • Material price spikes

✅ Positive Events

  • Government grants and incentives
  • New estate developments (more work!)
  • Material sales and discounts
  • Bonus progress claims
  • Favorable weather windows
  • Reliable tradie referrals
  • Client bonuses for early completion

💰 Cash Flow Management

This isn't just about building - it's about surviving. You need to balance:

  • Staff Wages: Hire better staff, pay more, but get better results
  • Fines & Fees: Council fees, compliance costs, late penalties
  • Progress Claims: Submit claims on time, or face cash flow nightmares
  • Material Costs: Prices fluctuate - buy smart, or pay the price
  • Equipment Upgrades: Better utes = faster builds, but they cost money
  • Time Extensions: Delays happen - but they cost you (client rent, penalties, reputation)

🏆 Bonuses & Upgrades

As you progress, unlock powerful bonuses that can turn the tide:

  • New Ute: -15% build time on all projects
  • Reliable Crew: Reduced chance of tradie delays
  • Better Equipment: Faster construction, fewer errors
  • Government Grants: Temporary cash injections
  • Material Discounts: Bulk buying power as you grow

🏅 Ranks & PvP

📊 Global Leaderboard

See who's the top builder in each region. Compete globally to see who can build the most houses, generate the most revenue, or achieve the highest prestige. Your company name will be known worldwide... or at least, in the construction game world.

⚔️ PvP Mechanics

It's not just about building - it's about surviving the competition. In-game PvP items include:

⚖️ The Legal Battlefield

Sue Other Builders: Think a competitor is cutting corners? Sue them! If you win, you get a cash payout and damage their reputation.

Will You Be Sued? Random chance events can have other builders coming after you. Did you miss a deadline? Someone might be filing papers...

Counter-Sue Mechanic: Fight back! Counter-sue to reduce their chance of winning and potentially take cash back. It's a legal war out there!

👥 Franchise System

Team up with your friends and start a chain of franchises. Build under the same banner, share resources, and dominate the leaderboard together. There's strength in numbers... and in having friends who actually show up on time.

🎯 The Ultimate Goal

Will you make it from small project homes to be the top builder? Can you progress from single-storey houses to highrises and ultimately skyscrapers? The journey is long, the challenges are real, and the chaos is constant.

But that's what makes it fun. Every build is a story. Every random event is a memory. Every completed project is a victory. And every skyscraper you build is a testament to your ability to outbid, outbuild, and outlast.

🚀 Your Empire Awaits

Start with a loan, a dodgy apprentice, and a busted ute. End with a construction empire that spans the globe. The question isn't whether you can do it - it's whether you can survive long enough to see it happen.

Outbid. Outbuild. Outlast. 🏗️💪🎮
