And you have a reputation among the 3 classes in society. The lower, middle and upper. Known as Poor, Wealthy and Rich. Each class has its own material needs. The Poor are satisfied with beer and grain but the rich want meat and wine and higher end items. You basically end up setting up supply lines to your hometown in order to supply it, which makes it more attractive for outsiders to move to, which increases t…
