Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Pursuit of Mercantile Power is an economic sim with light RPG released October 12, 2026 in Early Access at $10.79.
The premise is blunt: no money spawns - money only moves.
Control the village's cash flow, buy shares, and take over the village.
Escorts and proposals
Start at the Escort Agency: run escort missions to improve combat ability and build wealth, upgrading the agency and building stronger carts.
Train martial arts, gather materials and craft equipment to protect your cart against enemies along the route.
Proposals are the most important feature - submit them to influence how enterprises operate and where the village's money flows.
Share warfare and who it is for
The Commerce Guild is the trading hub: acquire shares in other enterprises and secure final decision-making power.
Cash flow directly affects whether your shares can be sold - one wrong move can leave you with valuable shares but no buyers.
It suits players who want a systemic economy where politics, taxes and markets interact (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-13).
