Picking Your Starting Profession
When you begin your journey in The Guild – Europa 1410, one of your first and most important decisions will be your starting profession. This choice defines not only your primary source of income but also the way you experience the game. Each profession offers unique opportunities - some rely on crafting and trade, others on more daring (and sometimes less lawful) ventures.
While most professions revolve around production and trade, even those come with their own quirks, challenges, and advantages. You’ll start with a modest set of products or activities, but as your enterprise flourishes, your options will expand, unlocking new ways to influence the world around you.
Whatever path you choose, your profession will shape your early strategy and open doors to new possibilities. The wealth it will earn you is not just coins in your pocket - it is your key to progress that allows you to upgrade your business, expand your residence, construct new buildings, and ultimately climb the social ladder.
In this dev diary, we’ll highlight a selection of professions available at the start of the game - and give you a glimpse into how they will allow your dynasty to rise and secure your place in history.
Stone Mason - working with stone, the initial items that can be crafted include sanding blocks, grindstones, and spinning tops. Stone Masons can also improve different roads and buildings to preserve the infrastructure’s integrity for a short period of time.
>>
Joiner - as a woodworker, the joiner crafts wooden nails, handles, walking sticks, and bows. The Joiner can also improve your carts to slow down their degradation, meaning more use and less repairs for your cart.

I played base game and Renaissance. Renaissance is the better of the two. It wasn't made by the original devs, but they actually did some beta patches after release, unpaid. Solid lads. It's on the Steam beta branch last I checked a few years back.
Game is still a mess lmao. Some maps are just super fucked, where your kid gets stuck in a forest if you send him off-map for an education. I think the large Hansa map was one of those, which is a shame.

I haven't played renaissance only base and pirates but the game was already peak eurojank to begin with and adding more features on top of it wasn't done very well and made it even more awkward. It also felt buggier in general somehow, but it's possible that it's because I played pirates much later and I just had lower tolerance for it.

Its been a long time since I played but I think Renaissance added some qol features, like manually changing how many years pass each round (which is good because the game starts falling apart after your character dies) and how often elections happen (which is good because city level elections take forever and you can never enjoy your office because you have to defend yourself every turn) ingame.

Ah yes, the OP that nobody reacted to, which can't even be purchased yet. Instead, everybody is SHILLING twenty year old predecessors with defunct devs/publishers. End thyself.
