Our game will take place in the world that resembles the 19th century Earth in the epoch of the primary capital formation.

Let’s imagine that people have received the information about the rich gold-fields in the uninhabited northern lands. Certainly, it has intrigued a huge number of people, offering the hope of fast personal gain. Caravans of gold miners headed northwards, taking with them families and leaving their homes abandoned. Gold dealers, moneylenders, traders, and various adventurers wended behind.
However, it has turned out that there are not many land parcels with big gold deposits, so not every prospector would be able to stake a rich claim. So what should others do, upon whom the fortune didn’t smile? In our game, one can grow rich not only by rocking gravel for gold or finding a goldmine. North is a land of unlimited opportunities, covered by thick forests and earth, full of ironstone and coal, so those who are not afraid of work will find a place in the sun anyway.

Some people mine or wash gold, others produce and sell the necessary instruments. Prospectors and their families must live somewhere, so instead of temporary miners’ settlements the towns are growing up, and the workers are needed to build and expand them. As in the real life, there is a big need for the workforce in the game, so everyone can find the work to his liking: work in the mine, at the construction, fell the trees, or start industry development by arranging the raw materials processing or instrument and transport manufacturing.

Further - more, the banks will open in the towns, the service businesses will appear, various activities and entertainment will emerge… In short, the thing that starts as a gold rush, should grow into the complex trade and economic relations with time. The art of thinking, analyzing, and money counting will help you to realize your potential in this virtual world and earn by no means virtual money. So choose your cup of tea, and good luck!
