Province missions

Province councils offer jobs to players who help their settlements. You can work without owning a province or joining its council.

Find and accept a job

1. Type mission search to find available work across provinces.
2. Travel to a settlement and read board at its job board.
3. Use mission register to register as a worker there.
4. Read the task, deadline, reward and deposit. Use mission accept <number> with the number on the board.

Boards offer only work the settlement can actually use, and the reward shown is the reward paid. A settlement short of food always has a food run on its board.

Most jobs require a silver deposit. If your purse is short, the game can take the rest from your bank account. Completing the job returns the deposit; abandoning it or missing the deadline loses it. Some community jobs have no deposit.

Jobs that can no longer be done are called off, not failed. If somebody else finished the building stage, the stores have no room left at all, or the ore bin was already hauled away, the province takes the job back at no cost: your deposit goes back to your bank and your standing is untouched, whether you abandon it or let it time out. mission status lists these separately. If only part of a job is still possible, deliver what fits first; it counts, and you can then abandon the rest for free.

Track and finish work

• mission lists your active work and deadlines.
• mission complete turns in your only ready mission in that province.
• mission complete <number> turns in one from your active list.
• mission complete all turns in all ready work for the current province.
• mission history shows completed jobs.

The numbers come from different lists. Accept with the number shown by read board. Complete or abandon with the current position shown by mission. Those positions can change after a job is removed.

For stone hauling, deliver accepted blocks to the storehouse yard with deposit all block or wagon deposit stone. Cutting or loading stone alone does not complete the delivery.

For material hauling to construction, use build deliver or the site's build deposit commands. Only material accepted at its destination counts. Full stores or a fully supplied stage leave surplus with you.

A building project may be able to wait, but your job still has its own deadline. Check mission before taking a break. mission abandon <number> gives up a job and costs its deposit and reputation, unless the work can no longer be done at all (see above).

For councils: the pay for an accepted job is set aside in the treasury until the job is paid, abandoned or runs out, so the settlement can always pay what it promised. province balance shows what is promised and what is free to spend.

Build standing and apply for citizenship

Cleanly completed jobs and local work earn reputation in that province. Higher standing opens more work and services. Type mission status to see your reputation, standing and citizenship requirements.

When eligible, return to that province and use mission citizen apply. The council decides whether to approve you. Your current reputation matters; it can fall while you are away.

Citizens get local benefits but no council vote. Citizenship is separate from council membership, and you can be a citizen in several provinces. mission citizen resign gives up citizenship without removing your reputation or standing.
