Metropolitan Estate Privileges
ESTATE PRIVILEGES expands the power struggle between the four estates — Nobles, Clergy, Burghers and Peasants — by adding dozens of new privileges with meaningful gameplay impact. Every privilege comes with real trade-offs, creating deeper political decisions instead of flat bonuses.
Choose who rules your realm:
• Will you empower the Nobles to militarize the countryside?
• Will the Clergy dominate literacy, culture and unity?
• Will the Burghers seize control of commerce and industry?
• Will the Peasants rise to feed the great cities and shape rural life?
Every privilege changes the balance of power. Every signature has consequences.

🏙 Metropolis & Megalopolis Progression
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
As your capital grows, new and stronger privileges unlock:
• Standard Privileges → available everywhere
• Metropolitan Privileges → unlocked in high-rank capital cities
• Megalopolitan Privileges → exclusive to world-class capital cities
These privileges are powerful but come with serious drawbacks — taxation conflicts, food pressure, estate dissatisfaction, manpower shifts, industrial monopolies and more.

If a mod adds NEW estates, *Estate Privileges* will not break — but their estates will not receive unique privileges unless a compatch is made.
