Walkthrough

1
Raw Materials: Begin with resources like Wood, game animals, milk, grain, fish, iron, and wool, collected by gatherers. Stone is also a raw material but is not refined.
2
Retailers: These workers transform raw materials into finished goods. They collect materials from the storehouse and process them in their shops.
3
Finished Goods Categories: There are 7 categories: Food, Clothing, Cleaning Supplies, Entertainment, Decoration, Military, and Special.
4
Needs vs. Wants: Food, Clothing, Cleaning, and Entertainment are Needs. Settlers will strike if these are not met. Decorations are Wants; meeting them improves city reputation and tax revenue but doesn't prevent strikes.
5
Production Chain: A detailed list shows how raw materials are converted into finished goods by specific retailers (e.g., Hunter -> Animal Carcass -> Butcher -> Sausage (food)).
6
Special Cases: Medicine is only needed during plagues. Siege engine workshops sell parts, not complete engines. The Marketplace produces water, essential for entertainment and animal health.
7
Competition: Be aware that multiple retailers may compete for the same raw materials. Ensure a steady income of materials.
8
Retailer Income & Taxes: Retailers earn gold by selling finished products. Your castle collects taxes from retailers monthly. Tax rates (0%, 50%, 100%) can be adjusted, affecting city reputation.
9
Gold Usage: Gold is spent on castle, storehouse, and cathedral upgrades, as well as military recruitment and salaries.
10
Economy Recap: Gold income primarily comes from retailer taxes. Retailers need raw materials, which are supplied by gatherers to the storehouse. Settlers work for gold, with their needs varying by job.

Tips

Monitor raw material income to prevent competition issues between retailers.
Adjust tax rates strategically: lower taxes improve reputation, while higher taxes can lower it but increase immediate gold income.
Ensure essential needs (Food, Clothing, Cleaning, Entertainment) are consistently met to avoid settler strikes.
Pay attention to special categories like Medicine, only needed in specific crisis situations.

A stable and growing economy that supports your settlement and military efforts.
