Settler to Tycoon: what each tier asks for and what it unlocks.
Tiers unlock capabilities and queue depth. Promotions happen automatically at the end of each tick once you meet all conditions. Citizen is a permanent floor — once earned, you can never fall below it.

👑 Tycoon is a permanent tier — no maintenance cost, no demotion. There's no gold requirement to reach it, so never be afraid to spend on your way up. As a Tycoon you become a licensed luxury importer: buy prepaid credits with a queued Market Run, specialize in luxuries other Tycoons aren't covering, and earn from every premium visit you keep open. See /tycoon once you arrive.
