Needs

Population needs in Old World and New World are divided into two categories: basic needs and luxury needs.

Population needs in The Arctic work differently and are instead, divided into basic needs and heat.

Fulfilling basic needs increases the number of inhabitants in each house. Houses have to be full in order to advance to higher population tiers.

Fulfilling luxury needs in Old and New World makes the population pay higher taxes and raises happiness.

Fulfilling heat - the need to stay warm - in The Arctics will also make the Arctic population pay higher taxes, but instead of raising happiness, this will help prevent outbreaks of the Arctic Flu.

For a detail overview of the profitability of each of the consumer goods listed here, see this page.

Influx	The amount of people moving into each house of this tier due to fulfilling this need.
Happiness	The increase in happiness due to fulfilling this need.
Income	The increase in income due to fulfilling this need. These numbers indicate how much one residence will pay you on various income settings (high/medium/low income).
