Hi folks!

We are working on filling out the set of asset templates. We have something now that addresses all the metrics, but before I bias you by showing it, I'd like to make sure we aren't forgetting anything you might care about! What are ideas for assets that you would like to see? Feel free to be as specific or general as you might want. Asset templates will be pretty general, so that you can fill out the details, but I can make sure there would be something that fits your specific ideas. This would include things like shop jobs, vineyards, banks, trade fleets, and _your idea here_.

ICly, how does your character make their money? What do you say the class money you automatically get comes from?

Well aside from trade fleets, I've often rped vicannia as her family having bought out businesses who were at risk of going under, then spending resources and time to build said businesses back up, under the Serre name, so that they can be a competitive force. Typically this is just to gain a foothold in different domains and regions. Hence why I rp as Vicannia's Business being a Conglomerate versus just a company.

Not sure what you would classify that as. Bought out businesses?

Restoration Services, Construction, Taverns, General Labor, Site Surveyors, City Ordinance and Inspectors, Trade Sector

Okay, having given some time for people to respond without biasing you, here's what we're currently looking at. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing Given that you can flavor each of these to fit your own ideas, did we miss anything important?

I'm loving the Business Takeover asset... Probably my favorite one.

Well, your providing that idea did lead to it being added onto the list!

Yeah, but what I love about it is the fact it's a "negative" asset. Something about that just makes me smile.

We figured that it's easier to buy businesses when the economy is down, so there's an argument for getting better things in those cases.

What makes things Positive or Negative?

IE - what makes say a hospital_job "Anti-Health?" - as at face value I'd guess more people helping at the hospital would make the people overall healthier.

A few entries that might be useful - Usury as an option versus Bank (which might fall under a different Anti category), Lawyer/Barrister job for Lawfulness, Singer/Dancer roles for Entertainment, Cook/Brewer jobs, and Priest/Knights jobs on the Piety list.
