ROB RUN’s power pyramid describes five positions: Hobo, Settlement Resident, Settlement Owner, District Owner and Shadow Governor. They represent changes in property and territorial power, rather than a published character XP ladder.

Position What changes
Hobo You begin without a home and stay at Lenny’s motel.
Settlement Resident You rent a plot, build a base and gain access to resident opportunities.
Settlement Owner You own a settlement and rent its plots to other players.
District Owner A clan controls a district and receives a share of local settlement taxes.
Shadow Governor The leader of the clan controlling central Highlands occupies the top position.

These roles and relationships come from Kefir’s October 28 explanation.

Choose the next decision, not just the next title

Renting a plot gets you a place to build. Owning the settlement creates a landlord role. District control introduces a clan requirement and competition over a larger territory. These are materially different decisions, so a land-rental guide cannot answer every ownership question.

Read the resident guide, settlement ownership guide, district control guide or Shadow Governor explanation for the part you are considering.

What the overview does not establish

The announcement does not supply a complete current price list, tax formula, capture timetable or mandatory purchase sequence. Our recommendation is to inspect the exact title or territory action requested by the game before paying. A description of the hierarchy is not a step-by-step capture procedure.

FAQ

Do I need a clan to control a district? Yes; the official district section explicitly introduces that requirement.

Is renting land the same as owning a settlement? No. The developer describes them as separate positions with different benefits.
