Re: Ecomony question: )
IF you're like me, you do not want to do jobs, buy new items, or take your sweet time doing anything else.
You're lazy (like me).
Anyway, I purchased every single house and shop in Bowerstone. Afterwards, I kept all Prices at 0%, as with Rents.
So one day I got on and it was 5 Stars. Hm, not sure if that is the FULL way though. However, I might have bought everything, lowered the prices, then when it reaches like 4 star, raise the prices back to 0%.
5 Stars it should have.
Edit:
I also just now realized I decorated a few houses with Luxury Decor.
People go jobs, use the money to buy new items, thus giving more people jobs, who then go and purchase other items, passing on the money. It's a circle, and you must allow the circle to connect and not break. By raising rent, you limit a person's budget, thus encouraging him not to spend ANY money. Therefore, the circle breaks. If you raise prices, people will NOT buy from the shop, thus keeping that shop lonely, which also breaks the circle. You have to study the economy, and balance it where people spend an adequate amount of money, and have some for themselves, keeping the circle going.
If you had 100 Dollars every week, but rent was 90 dollars every week, you'd have 10 dollars to yourself. No doubt you'd keep that money and save it up. But if rent was 45 dollars a week, you'd have 55 dollars to yourself, encouraging yourself to purchase items. This whole idea about the circle, and the example of 100 dollars, can be seen in Fable II's economy.
By decorating homes, you ensure the tenant does not have to decorate it himself, thus allowing him more money to spend, enriching the circle of economy.
