Town Houses.
Once the character has a wife, he must also get a home.
The size depends on social level.
If his social level gets too big for his house, he must move
(which costs money). Large houses (eg Palaces) can support larger
social events.

Pistol Dualling.
Rules exist for this, but I don't know what they are.
Tends to be a damn sight more lethal than blade weapons.
It can normally be avoided by saying "No, no my dear chap, the pistol
is a peasant's weopon. Let us instead use our regimental weapons..."

Other Regiments.
The Navy (long tours at sea, much danger, much booty)
The Balloon Regiment (much status, high fatality rate, not much booty)
Artillary Regiments

Religion
There is strong tension between Hugonaut and Catholic, and this is a
good way of insulting someone.
There are also rules for entering the clergy, which has been structured
rather like the army (yuk).

The Paris Tribune.
Newspaper circulated to all players, includes the Mentions in Dispatches.
Includes a list of Players, with Social Standing, regiments, clubs,
offices, ranks, medals, constituancies etc.
But it is mainly a platform for Party propaganda, and letters to insult
people.

Riots.
Insurrection may be financed (very expensive, especially in the wealthier
constituancies), to put Military Governers to the test, and to make
political points (and influence election results). They can escalate
into civil war, if care is not taken.

Social Events
The clubs are used for social events (just an excuse to toady).
Parties and tournaments are held at private houses.

Campaigns
Certain campaigns are more dangerous than others...
North Africa: (players get -1 on death rolls)


Well, I think that's quite enough to be going on with.
Some of the rule additions are really quite nasty, and must have seemed
like a good idea at the time.
There are probably some others, but I can't remember...
