Whiskers are the clever, ingenious mice that act as the colonists of your islands. They inhabit the archipelago after arriving by ship, and build, mantain, and operate its buildings.

Whiskers are historically a working class under the Claws Empire, which is ruled by cats. At the time of Whiskerwood, Whiskers can be either in favor of the Claws Monarchy or rebellious, and their political leanings impact the fate of your colony and if it stays under the cats' thumbs or declares independence.

Education

  • Guild Specialty - Allows the Teacher to turn any Whisker to their Guild. This can help fill optimal job slots in different guild areas that need a production boost.
  • Craftsmanship - Provides an educated Whisker that is more productive at their craft.
    • Apprentice - The first level of Craftsmanship available is the Apprentice level. Some buildings will require at least an Apprentice to either start production, or fill the final slot for optimization.
    • Craftsmaster - The second and highest level of Craftsmanship, these Whiskers are the most productive, and can then also turn to educate other Whiskers.
  • Scholarly - Educates a Whisker to research technology in the Research Lab.
