Dwellers

## Overview

Dwellers are the in game people that populate your castle. Understanding your dwellers is key to a successful game. There are five categories and these are defined by the amount of stars they have. You will start the game with a few 1-3 star dwellers. The higher the star the better, it is best to aim for all 5 star dwellers which is acheivable through breeding high attribute dwellers, do this as soon as possible.

## Making babies

Once you unlock the Living Room, you will be able to assign a male and female dweller to the room to get them dating. After a couple of hours you end up with a pregnant dweller, who will give birth after three hours have passed.

Once the baby is born, you will receive a massive boost to happiness, as well as a new dweller. However, before becoming useful, the child first needs to grow into an adult, which takes about 6 hours.

These new characters function the same as any other dweller once they grow up, and will perform adequately as long as you train and equip them accordingly.

**Tip**: before going to bed, pop your dwellers in the living room and by morning you'll have babies.
