Should you slay Predators in your Ecosystem in Towers of Aghasba? – Destructoid

As you grow your Ecosystems in Towers of Aghasba, new creatures and animals will come to make it their home, including vicious, hostile predators. These beasts are dangerous and your first instinct may be to hunt them down, but is that really the right move?

Should you kill Predators in your Ecosystem in Towers of Aghasba?

To answer this question upfront, killing Predators in your Ecosystem is a slippery slope with consequences you must consider before doing so. The benefit of hunting down and killing a Predator in your system is that you’ll prevent it from not only attacking you but the other animals within it. This sounds great, but the unfortunate aspect of doing this is that you’ll lose a ton of Amity, with the amount being based on how big/powerful the Predator in question is.

The reason for this loss is that, despite being dangerous, Predators are still a part of the natural order, so killing one will be considered a life-taking action, something you want to actively avoid in large amounts. This issue is further expanded with the possibility of multiple Predators being present in your Ecosystem.

I mentioned earlier that more creatures will come to live in your Ecosystem the larger it gets, and this does not exclude Predators. In fact, you can have dozens living in a massive Ecosystem all at once. Trying to hunt every single one of them down will result in you losing a ridiculous amount of Amity, which is just not feasible for the long-term natural growth of an Ecosystem.

When should you hunt Predators in your Ecosystem?

So, when should you actually hunt and kill a Predator? The answer to that is relatively simple, all things considered. If a Predator is causing you significant problems or troubles when you are trying to build up an Ecosystem, then you should consider putting it out of its misery and take the Amity loss. Another situation when you’d want to consider hunting a Predator down is if it drops a material or resource you need to continue growing your village or Ecosystem.

These are just a few nuanced cases that you’ll want to consider, but the reality is that you are at the top of the food chain. Thus, you get to make the decision. Generally speaking, if you can avoid the Predator outright, and it’s not causing too much trouble in your Ecosystem, it’s better to leave it be.

Amity can always be earned back, so taking out a few of the troublesome creatures in your Ecosystem will not cause great harm in the long term so long as you work to restore it. Just don’t go overboard and drain yourself dry of Amity.
