About Vault Guides

There's a lot of bad guides out there. Three thousand words explaining what a district is before giving you any actual strategy. AI-written guides with wrong numbers. "Quick tips" videos where the tip is somewhere around minute 18. I've beaten every game on this site, most of them more than once. So I wrote my own guides.

Every guide starts with the strategy, not the backstory. Each section has an estimated read time. I cut the intro fluff — you don't need me to tell you Anno 1800 was made by Ubisoft. You need to know where to put the industrial zone.

I only write about strategy and management games. Anno 1800, Civ 6, RimWorld, Foundation, Farthest Frontier, Going Medieval. Deep mechanics, small communities, hard to find good info.

This site runs on ads. No paywalls, no memberships, no "premium content." If a guide helps you, send it to someone stuck on the same thing. Found a mistake? Email me — I actually respond.
