Your task is to acquire a servant, asses her abilities and talents and decide an appropriate type of training for her. Then you have to oversee the training, design daily routine for her or give her special tasks. Different types of servants give you unique option - some can cook, some can gather resources, work with customers or even fight like gladiators.
Your villa, where most of your work will take place is in disrepair. Buy new furniture, equipment and decorations. Organize lavish feasts or orgies to acquire prestige. Raise in social rank to get new options, special work opportunities or quests. Feed all members of your household. Better quality food will grant various bonuses, while starving servants can run away. Cooking raw food is cheaper than buying finished food, but it takes time. Go fishing for alternative food income or buy a land and farm it or raise farm animals.
