what is Matter of Scale?

Expand your realm from a small hamlet to vast domains by hiring workers and completing location goals.

Completing enough smaller settlements unlocks larger ones, progressing from hamlets to villages, towns, and beyond. Resources and upgrades are tied to specific locations, enhancing worker production and unlocking new areas.

It sits in the Idle / Prestige / Numbers / Automation corner of the genre.

Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
