Jobs at-a-glance
Use this to decide who to put in which job: what each rating pays in each role, which archetypes can hold it, and which archetypes each heir course leads to. Council payouts scale by the triangle of the rating (×△); Governor, Agent and General payouts follow the rating formula.

● Fit
The archetype can hold the role. On an education row, the course can graduate into that
archetype.
×△ Triangular scaling
Council payouts multiply their base by the triangle of the holder's rating, tri(R) = R·(R+1)/2:
a rating of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 multiplies by 1, 3, 6, 10 or 15. A superscript is that yield's offset, and the
multiplier becomes tri(R + offset) − offset.

×△ Triangular scaling
Council yields and opinions multiply their base by the triangle of the character's rating: 1,
3, 6, 10 or 15 for a rating of 1 to 5. Since 1.0.84658 a yield with an offset (the superscript)
scales by tri(R + offset) − offset, which is why Culture and Science ramp later. Opinions
ignore offsets and round to the nearest 5.
