Description
Imagine it is 1450: Europe in late Middle Ages is witnessing the start of an exciting period marked by new beginnings and freedom. Under the rule of bourgeoisie and businessmen, more towns are breaking free of aristocratic control to attain independence, power, wealth and political influence; new businesses flourishing to bring financial strength as well as political influence to an ever expanding economy.
Life in these dense towns also comes with its downsides: epidemics and diseases spread quickly while thieves and highwaymen keep an eye out to claim a slice of wealth for themselves. Now's your chance to make history: whether as an honest craftsperson or dubious priest. Your path lies before you!
At 13 you depart your parents and venture forth into the world to find employment during real commercial and trading exchange expansion. Each city features its own difficulty level; parents' jobs predispose you to specific qualities; business options can range from Middle Age jobs all the way back to cutting edge new companies - run your own, manage employees to maximize productivity; hire guards as protection; but remember - even though your work and goods outshone competitors... the world of business affairs remains unpredictable!
