Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist is a defining factor of the Council and Communities and Factions system that ties together with the Idea Tree and Laws. Almost all Ideas and Laws fit onto the axes of Survival, Economy, and Society. Each Community favours a side of one axis, while each Faction is strongly committed to one side or the other of each axes.

The city will also favour an ideological position due to the player's actions, such as construction, research, and laws passed. The current Zeitgeist of the player's city can be viewed as bars in the bottom left of the screen.

Ideological positions

The ideological positions for Survival are called Adaptation and Progress.

The ideological positions for Economy are called Equality and Merit.

The ideological positions for Society are called Reason and Tradition.

Communities and Factions

Communities and Factions tend to prefer certain solutions and positions. Using actions that support their ideology will increase relations with that faction. For example, the Iceblood faction prefers Survival Adaptation, Economic Merit, and Societal Tradition.
