Assension Rights?

[Chippoka]

What are "ascension rights?" Isn't it all automatic? I also got improved "trading privileges" with my Nomads gained new "ascension right," but WHAT is the effect of that compared not having that? More money at the Warehouse ship trades?

[Primigenia]

Ascension rights let you upgrade the tier of your pop/homes. They can be both activated automatically or blocked and upgraded manually by the player, this is usually done to keep under control where the upper tier are placed.

New ascension right means you can upgrade more houses. You don't have infinite, each tier let's you upgrade a number of houses to the higher tier. With more ascension rights it means if you have many nomads you can upgrade more houses with less lower pop.

Citizenship for peasants to become citizens, trade privileges for citizens to become patricians, noble titles for patricians to become noblemen, envoy licenses for nomads to become envoys. It's all called ascension rights
