Bourgeois#
A bourgeois is a wealthy city dweller. This status of a clone underlines its 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 the public school for a total of 80 gold coins.
Status options#
A bourgeois is a clone with a full and well-rounded education. He is capable of greater achievements than before:
- Vote in the 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 management positions in state-owned enterprises, but this requires a high level of special skills. It’s possible to remain in your current position — the decision depends on your development strategy.
- Management positions offer higher salaries but less experience.
- A bourgeois who is engaged in hunting can purchase a license to hunt wolves.
- A clone in a prince’s squad or a 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:
- Keep 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#
A 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 at 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 of the “bourgeois” status is to found a personal principality:
- The clone becomes a prince and rules over settlements, architectural wonders, and subordinate settlements.
- A prince can collect taxes, assign social subsidies and receive state payments depending on the principality development level.
- At the Principality Auction, you can purchase a ready-made state and develop it into an empire.
- A principality has industrial, engineering and military capabilities, including a squad.
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.
