Description

From publisher blurb:

Gold will buy your freedom. Forget the cheap credos of false gods and foolish brawlers; they cling to ideals while their children starve. Whatever you desire, we can make real.

Gold will buy your strength. Forget the petty threats of pauper magicians and idiot militia; their lifeblood flows through our coffers, and we sell the spears they shake. Whoever you detest, we can crush.

Gold will buy your service. Forget the broken fallacies of selfless honour and noble intent; one man built this empire, and rules it with a fist of gilded iron. Whatever he decrees, we will do.

The Cities of Gold tower over the fallen nations of the past… and soon will tower over the fallen Corporations of the present. For in the end, we will buy them all.

Welcome, Agent, to Eurasian Incorporated.

Features

New sects and perhaps the most obscene Rank bonuses in the corporate world
Stacks of new items including luxury goods, banned and restricted weapons and Anti-Plasma Core Armour
More information on running and expanding your own businesses
More cybernetics and how corporate culture views augmentation
Teleportation technology and new luxury vehicles
Medical procedures and the healthcare system
E.I.'s upper echelons including staff, management and methodology
New NPCs and locations
