New Features:

Group Management

Use this measure to add a family member to a group, or to remove one from the group.

Wearing Accessories

From now on you can wear jewellery and garments in order to improve favour with other characters, analgous to 'Perfume'. If a piece of jewellery or clothing is in a character's inventory, it also appears in the character's measures list and can be worn simply by clicking with the mouse.

Building: Wedding Chapel

Anyone who wants to get married can still do so quite publicly on the street. But those for whom that is too public can choose a ceremony in the wedding chapel. This takes longer and costs money, but it is an unforgettable moment for the happy couple and provides both with a wealth of experience.
In addition, an engagement ring to offer one's intended in a courtship can be purchased from an orphan in the wedding chapel. The engagement ring then produces great progress in the courting process.
You can also adopt orphans here, if you are already married. For the latter measures, bear in mind that the orphans can only be encountered during the day.

Building: Guild House

In the guild house, you can fulfill contracts for the guild, which earns fame. The guild will either want to purchase special items - for which you can purchase construction plans - or offer a travelling job, during which a character spends some time on a journey. For both types of contract, there is money and a variable amount of fame to be earned. You can also purchase an alderman's chain which works like high-quality jewellery for its wearer. The favour bonus is further influenced by the guild fame of the wearer, if a guild master or even alderman.

Guild Master

Every guild house names a guildmaster for each of the four character classes: Patron, Tradesman, Scholar, and Rogue. The election takes place between 5 and 6 AM starting in the second round. You are automatically enroled for the election, if you own a business in your character class. The selection criteria for a guild master position are the number and level of all of your businesses in the class, and the fame of the character in the guild. Before a new selection takes place in the subsequent round, every guild master receives one fame point.
Guild masters can purchase deliveries of raw materials from cities which are not on the map. Guild masters pay a lower price for alderman's chains and manufacturing instructions.

Alderman

The alderman is the highest representative of the Hanseatic League in a region. Thus, there can be only one alderman for each map. All guild masters on the map who are at least noted (level 2) and whose family is at least known (level 1) are eleigible. The selection takes place between 12 noon and 1 PM starting in the third round.
Aldermen can use all of the measures of the guild master, has more luck with deliveries of raw materials, and must pay far less money for them. In addition, alderman's chins and manufacturinginstructions cost them very little money.

View guild reputation

With this, you can view the fame of a character in the local guild and the fame of the family in the Hanseatic League. In addition, this is where you can learn if the character is guild master or alderman.
