s the city grows, it comes alive with people
going about their daily tasks. New families
arrive, others depart. The workforce tends to
its responsibilities, bringing services to the citizens.
Men, women and children are all active participants in
city life. They are the city’s lifeblood, coursing along
its streets. The citizens’ lives — how they come to
your city, how they find employment, and what hap-
pens after they attain wealth — are the topics of this
chapter.

When the city is new, immigrants in search of adven-
ture come to experience life on a new frontier. As the
city becomes more established, new immigrants are
attracted mainly as a result of word-of-mouth. If life
in the city is good, resulting in high City Sentiment,
then the residents will spread the word throughout the
Kingdom. New people will come to the city provided
there is room for them.

City Sentiment is an indicator of the quality of life in
the city. The factors that contribute to high City
Sentiment are high wages, low taxes, food availability
and job availability. All citizens expect to be properly
fed and to be employed. They also expect to be ade-
quately compensated for their work and not to pay an
unreasonable tax rate.
Citizens are well aware of what wages other Egyptian
cities pay. If the Kingdom’s standard wage level changes,
a message notifying you of the new pay rate will be sent.
