Business Partnership Relationships
Some NPC relationships can become business partnerships that affect economic opportunities.
Quick answer: Build trust with commercially relevant characters when their partnership aligns with your expansion or supply needs.
Three-point checklist
- Confirm the rule: Business partnership is a named relationship type in the community Q&A.
- Plan around it: This connects narrative choices to management outcomes.
- Do not assume: Named partners and benefits are not yet listed.
Why this deserves its own guide
The Business Partnership Relationships page resolves one specific player question and connects it to the wider characters & story system. It avoids splitting unverified items, NPCs or upgrades into placeholder URLs.
