Description

The ticking clock, not a falling blossom, measures a man's life.

A factory significantly adds to the economy, and acts as a force for further economic growth.

The Industrial Revolution in England and then across Europe changed the way that common people lived forever. Before the coming of factories, people lived and died without ever going more than a few miles from where they were born. Their days were marked by the passing of the seasons, and the position of the sun. Factories took all that away: the clock and the weekly pay packet, suitably reduced by charges imposed by factory owners, became the rhythm of life. Life in the fields had been hard, but life in the factories was equally so, and without the benefits of fresh air.

Summary

The factory is the final Industry building that can be built everywhere. All 3 Industry chains upgrade to a Factory. You want Factories in all of your Economic Regions (most of them) once you can afford them. It has 2 upgrade chains, both of which can only be built in 1 region of your Clan. You want those upgrades in regions with a Higher Tax rate if possible, to maximize income.
