Winter is Coming

Winter is Coming is the fourth level of Tavern Tycoon.

Overview
Here you can expect all three classes of patron, all wanting their specific specialized rooms, and, you have far less space than in the previous levels. This seems to be a test of your ability to make the most of the limited space that you have. Guest reservations are big once more, so use them wisely or you'll overcrowd your facilities.

Tips
Also build a good size rest room with at least six toilet stalls and staff room with at least four couches this time, from the start, because you will not have the extra space to build a second rest room or staff room.

Provide all the specialized rooms as normal, but keep them fairly evenly sized compared to each other. I've noticed if you replay this level, a different set of group reservations tend to crop up from your first play-through, but it seems that Locals wanting the spa and Wizards wanting the Arcane Study are far more prevalent than Knights wanting the gymnasium.

With reputation being your biggest problem here, it can bottom out very fast if you accept the large guest reservations too early, ie. before you have the facilities to handle them. Your patrons get angry pretty fast and you can go under in the blink of an eye.

Build only a few dining tables and guest rooms in the beginning, because you can easily extend these facilities later as your tavern gets busier, rather than building 10 guest rooms first and not having any specialized rooms for the Knights, Wizards and Locals to use for a time. All waiting time adds to the dissatisfaction, which hits your rep. Keep the place clean in the meantime, and get your maidens to research rabbit stew as a priority right from the start (make sure you change the research slider all the way across to full blue, to research only 'new recipe' or they will waste valuable time on researching leveling up current recipes. Once rabbit stew is being served, your reputation will really start to fly up.
