I have a question, I was ansestor now im eidleman I know I dont get the houses or basements from the in between pledges but do I get the items like windmill and piano from citizen pledges?
If you just upgraded to Edelmann you will not get any pledge rewards that have already expired. Only rewards from pledges that have not expired(excluding house and property deeds from lower tiers) You should get items from Edelmann, Ancestor, Explorer, Royal Artisan, Founder & Adventurer.
You do not get any rewards from the expired tiers, unless you already had them before the expirations. So the Navigator, Developer and Citizen rewards would not be included in your upgrade from Ancestor to Edelmann. If his Ancestor predates the other expiration events he will still get the rewards from all tiers below Ancestor such as collector, patron, etc., upgrading does not cause those other rewards, if previously earned, to dissappear.
