Needs

Each estate has its own set of needs: basic, everyday, and luxury needs. At the same time, each estate has its own set of goods corresponding to these criteria.

Basic needs are the most urgent. They directly affect the birth rate and death rate of the population. When there is a shortage of basic goods the estate begins to die out. Everyday needs reflect the ability to meet the standards of their estate. If they are not satisfied, the estate performs its functions worse in society. Luxury needs are the least important. However, if they are satisfied, the representatives of the class have a chance to climb the social ladder.

Gameplay Tips

 * It does not always make sense to satisfy the luxury needs of the estate. First, you need to make sure that the transition from one estate to another will lead to the desired results.
 * Governments make decisions about the duties and trade agreements. But it is people who purchase the goods. And if people are in need of something, they will buy it even in the country they are at war with. However, they will have to pay three times the price.
 * If you can ensure 100% security of all needs of the estate, its efficiency will increase by 30%.
