Mayors dedicate a certain portion of the coffer money for conscripting mercenaries, escorts for caravans, issue buy orders, send emissaries to build trade agreements. As players keep pledging their citizenship to a node, the buy in cost keeps increasing to prevent everyone from joining that one node. The Mayor could also hurt the citizens in a negative way, which results in players having to take control and ensure the Mayor does not get re-elected in the next election cycle. Early fishing provides materials for alchemical progression. Larger fish whose materials will be required for more expensive crafts. Certain types of fish can only be caught while fishing from a boat or ship. Once a building has its banners assigned, the building becomes ready to interact with.
