Out of the 3 classes the rogue is by far the easiest the play and would reconmend to any beginner. Yet despite the simplicities in the rogue it is in my opinion the most fun to play.
Whether you want the town to hate you while you make your fortune stealing from the peons or you make your fortune by owning the market in gentlemens clubs, either way this guide should hopefully teach you a thing or two about the rogue class.

Hopefully you either did a tutorial or read another guide on how to move your person, talk, and do the simple things. Now how do you make money? Well here are the buildings avalible and their effectivness in generating money and the best ways to utilize them.




First on the list is the simple robber camp, this is pretty straight forward as in well you rob people with the robber camp so the best thing to do is to extort some protection money, because I mean you could rob them but wouldent it be easier to get their money without even lifting a finger.
Note however there is a cooldown for buildings and sometimes you wont get alot of money from the lowly peasents.

The only real way to make money with this is to waylay nearby carts at a busy intersection and steal their goods, however most of the AI usually only have really low value items so this might not turn up a big profit. (not to mention no one likes you when you do this).

A good strategy is to jump peasents near a trade house or jump a rival dynasty/player and steal their expensive stuff. Also each building can offer more money depending on what type, banks/churches/woodcutter huts offer a good amount.

Because of a lack of a stable income ill give this a 2/5 for income potential




Ah the classic rogue hangout complete with cells and fun little torture tools! So how do you make money with this thing? Well if you are lucky you can go around scouting for places that would contain alot of money like money lenders and possibly go and rob the place.

You could also simply hire alot of employees and go to town pick pocketing but be careful as it would slowly drain your likeness to other people.

Finally you can make the big bucks by kidnapping powerful people and demanding ransoms, however alot of people are really strong so you better bring a crew and find your target realitivly alone. A caution with kidnapping as once you realease the person you can get charged for kidnapping and possibly sentenced to death. You also need to have a Theives' Den to do it atleast.

A way to go about using this is to hire a group and tell them to pickpocket the major areas, then start scouting buildings for ones that have alot of money banks. Also if you can jump owners of mines when they walk to their far away mines you can kidnap them and get loads too.

Due to the potential of gaining money but big starting costs and rep dip I give this a 4/5




This building is very simple, effective, and outright fun to use and by far my favorite of all the rogue buildings. The reason why is very simple, you can become a pimp procurer of many women. The gist of this building is that you run this gentlemans club while your girls are out getting you good money.

All you gotta do here is tell your person to serve drinks in the building while you tell all your girls to do salacious services, what that means is that they will wonder around the town/city and get money by showing some more skin to the lonely life of a man in the middle ages (mainly guards).

As you level up the place you can start using the girls for diffrent things like distracting guards while you rob a bank or dance for more attractivness to your pub.

A really good way to make money with this is to have a pub in every city where 1 of your girls runs the place while the others are out, not to mention you don't lose respect for this and this is a good way to play as a respected rogue.

Since you can make money without even touching it and it works really fast, I consider this a 5/5




Now as Robert Trout once said "The East India Company's domination of the Indian economy was based on its private army.". You guessed it with this building you can make your own private army.

You can either collect tolls, hush money, or offer protection.
Collectings tolls is pretty straight forward, think of it like waylay but you just take money or they just cant pass, loads of money potential but everyone will hate you.

Hush money is good when there are alot of theives or a rival pub around as it will get money from the theives directly and raise your rep too, but it relatively dosent make alot of money.

When you offer protection depending on how often the place is attack you get a certain amount of money (usually 500 gold) and a rep boost, this is nice but your guys will be occupied for awhile.

This can make alot of money with tolls and hush money but you will lose rep and it also depends on the city so ill settle this into a 3/5




Though the name sounds cool, the pirate buildings arent all that great compared to the others. The main thing the pirate building gets is one pirate ship that it can use to plunder other ships and counting houses. The haven itself can also make guns however they are expensive to make and their trade value lowers quickly. (No demand)

The pirate ship is an ok ship that can be upgraded, but the problem with it is that the AI of the other ships in the area dont really carry valuble trade and the cooldown for rading the counting houses is really large.

Although, if you want to be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to your human friend who thinks that they can get rich quick off trading houses. Then this place is good for ruling the seas like Britan.

Due to its lackluster production potential and narrow useability I give this one a 1/5




Finally the last building, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Camp Vagabond Camp. This place allows you to beg for money or from other people and even produce alot of nice stuff.

Starting out with this building is the ability to beg; Begging allows you to gain money much like pickpocketing except its usually less and sometimes has a chance to raise your likeness. THe amount of people you attract and money made is depending on the upgrades of the building and the charisma score. When you level up the building you get access to telling fortunes and crystal balls. Telling a fortune attracts more customes and makes more money, crystal ball attracts less but makes the most money.

The products you can make at the camp are artifacts that usualy make people wander around aimlessly, or fall asleep. Both of these are good for getting the victim to wander away from the guards and kill talk about their misgivings.

All and all this building makes decent money and good items. However, due to the money not being that great I give this a 4/5.

You know what the buildings do and how they are utilized, now how do you make money?

With the Sheebens ability to distract guards, you can now rob places that are relatively in busy areas. *Note: Try to still do it at night because if the non AI guards see it, the guards will run past the distraction.* Also remember for maximum profit make sure more than 1 theif is stealing.


Start by building a pub or buy the nearest one and set your women to salasious services; then buy a Mercenary Quaters. Use the quarters to collect tolls from the major roads into the city. Also Use your person to serve drinks at the pub. When you get enough money get a new title at the town hall then buy a vagabond camp and set all your people to beg at the market. Now marry some other profession that you know works but needs some investment; For example I married a scholar. I built a money lender, got another title and starting adding credits until I had about 5k in the account. When you feel satisfied that your 4th buisness is running strong, raze your mercenary camp. Now you should have a stable economy that makes a decent amount of money with no rep drop.


When you think that someone can vote you out or want to have an edge when voting out an encumbent, use the hypnosis pendulum to achive your goal. Make sure that its right before the meeting and it isnt the highest person in the court or they will end up postponing the meeting.

I wrote this guide because the game was lacking decent guides on how to play the game. I might end up making more guides if people end up reading this and wanting me to. If there are any grammical/spelling mistakes or you have another good strategy put it in the comments below. For now "Good Hunting Stalker"
