Bourgeois#

A bourgeois is a wealthy city dweller. A clone’s status underscores their wealth and inspires respect for both the clone and its owner.

Conditions for obtaining status#

To obtain the status of “bourgeois”, a clone must study 4 sciences in a public school for a total of 80 gold coins.

Status options#

The bourgeois is a clone with a full and well-rounded education. He is capable of greater achievements than before:

• Vote in Parliament and participate in legislative debates with 200 charisma. Your opinion will be visible to other clones and may influence amendments to the bills.

Job#

A bourgeois can hold leadership positions in state-owned enterprises, but this requires a high level of specialized knowledge. It’s possible to remain in your current position—the decision depends on your development strategy.

• Management positions offer higher salaries but require less experience.
• A bourgeois who is engaged in hunting can purchase a license to hunt wolves.
• A clone in a prince’s retinue or bandit army can command a warship, carry a melee weapon, or operate an artillery piece.
• Can obtain a specialized education as “Engineer of Megalithic Structures” to work on the construction of unique objects.
• Has the ability to purchase pleasure boats and rent tickets to other clones, including searching for magic ingredients for a minimal fee (0.1 gold coin).

Agriculture#

The bourgeois can engage in agriculture with expanded opportunities:

• Maintain a chicken farm of up to 100 heads.
• Keep cattle up to 10 animals.
• Keep pigs up to 10 animals.
• Cultivate 5 plots of land near the house at the same time to grow crops.

Urban planning#

The bourgeois can upgrade his estate to a village, which allows him to:

• Create subsidiary settlements (estates), receive part of the taxes and bonuses for the development of enterprises.
• Set the cost of purchasing resources, manage social subsidies and employee salaries.
• Create an army of clones to work in factories and independently develop the settlement.
• Make sure that your daughter settlements do not reach the village level and do not leave your control.
• Build more businesses and factories, increase production volumes and obtain gold from treasures.

Principality#

The main opportunity to achieve the status of “bourgeois” is to found one’s own principality:

• The clone becomes a prince and rules over settlements, architectural wonders, and subordinate settlements.
• The prince can collect taxes, assign social subsidies and receive state payments depending on the level of development of the principality.
• At the Principality Auction, you can purchase a ready-made state and develop it into an empire.
• The Principality has industrial, engineering and military capabilities, including a retinue.

Merchant Guild#

The status of “bourgeois” is an important step, but it’s not the limit of a clone’s development. The next step to the imperial throne is entry into the merchant class. This opens up new opportunities for growth and wealth accumulation.
