General Info

Specialty

Population Growth

The Slumlord is a leader in After Inc.. He allows the settlement to grow even if there isn't enough housing.

Speciality

This isn't a ruin, its a well ventilated, historic opportunity!

Settlement will grow without housing. New arrivals give more Stamina and authority, but increased authority loss if people leave.

The immigration process of Slumlord is different from other leaders:

• The immigration process can happen even if players build housing or not. It can only be cancelled by negative morale and abandoned housing from settlers leaving.
• Doubled stamina and +50% authority gain when clicking the bubble that increases population. The duration of the increase population bubble is reduced by 40%, meaning it will disappear faster if not clicked.
• When the current population is more than in current housing, a Morale penalty called Out of Houses applies.
• Having satisfactory housing will increase more Morale.

Gain +2 stamina at the start of the game. Authority loss is increased by 50% if settlers leave, either from Abandonment or from the Death outcome from certain Situations). The first population reduction will subtract 9 authority, with subsequent abandonments losing 3 authority.

Strategies

The Slumlord grows the Population even without proper housing. This is useful in the early stages of the game, especially in levels where a specific amount of population is an early goal, as it allows you to not get slowed down by building housing and instead spend your resources on more useful buildings. However, uncontrolled population growth is very bad. It forces you to quickly go through Technology levels so that you can keep supplying the constantly growing population with enough Services. The inadequate housing cannot be ignored, as during winter, the penalty for supplying low quality housing (homeless people have 0 quality housing) will result in severe morale penalties, which lead to people leaving, which causes Authority loss, which is increased when playing with this Leader. Be very cautious when using this Leader.

Trivia

• The double stamina from increase population can multiply with Mentoring rewards, resulting up to +4 or +6 stamina gain when click the bubble.
