Character and Effects Animation | Hanna Cha
The Player can choose to grow flowers or strike down the characters with lightning to facilitate or cull the population. Both actions within reason increase the faith of the characters in you as a "God" but too much lightning will make them angry and too many flowers will make them lose faith. You can also kill with lightning characters which have grown displeased with your rule to keep the population happy.
(Additionally, due to a bug, raising the population too high will make the game lag).
