This one took me a while to figure out how to play, but once I did I found it pretty interesting! It's really easy to lose early on though. Here are some tips I think I figured out:
You need lots of citizens to win
Spread out your citizens to 2 per tile (including the king)
Citizens leave if their grievance reaches 5
Grievance increases by 10% of work fatigue once it reaches 5+
No tax reduces grievance by 1, more or less
No tax the citizens with high grievance
Only use No Work if you have enough food
Food is stockpiled if grievance is at 0, but any grievance consumes extra food
If you No Work without enough food, grievance increases by 1 per food missing out of the needed 2. This is an easy game over
Try to stockpile and No Work whenever work fatigue is at 4
Not sure how fat works, but it sort of doesn't matter since your only focus should be on grievance. Once you have a few villagers it becomes easier. Would love to see some updates.
Edit: Managed to stall the victory screen and reached 45 citizens, awarding me enough food to reach 532 fat.
Accurate!! If the king eats > 2 food, his fat increases by food - 2. Can eat up to 6 food per turn. Fat increases by 1 less if king has < 100 health. Also at 100 health, and 2 food, fat increases by 0.2. If you consume < 2 food, fat and health decreases.
Wow, that's pretty intricate. Was curious why any stockpiled food kept disappearing, but it makes sense the king would be a glutton. Handing it out to the people would've been the better way to stock up.
It felt very easy to end up in a bad spiral of constant grievance and overworking, especially in the early game where you have no food to spare. Although after a while it finally clicked that the grievance from starving them one turn doesn't really matter. So by always resting on fatigue 4 and rewarding away any 3+ grievance, you can easily handle any amount of citizens without ever looking at their stats.
Ah that's why you wanted to see the individual stats. Hmm. I could have sent out a warning on farmers whose grievance gets to 3. Maybe color them orangish. But again, thanks for your valuable time. It made my day! Its amazing you figured out almost all of the rules and the winning strategy so accurately!

I tried again for a high score. Good grief.
OMG nice!
