Every hour at seventeen minutes past, the industries recalculate their occupancy levels and I might have to invest to get the best deal.
Equally obviously, some workers may be up for auction at random times, and blindingly obviously I sometimes need to have a reminder that my goods licence will soon be up for renewal.
All the while is the fast and furious train management, man management and diplomacy.
I need a little 'bing' and then to draw my attention

Why do you need something that beeps a lot? doesn't the world have enough beeping in it for you already?

Although looks like you can't do hourly alarms but you could snooze them for an hour when they go off. Otherwise there is task scheduler:

Or this one?

Do you use Outlook? You can set repeat tasks and single tasks in there and they can use a sound on your PC as an alarm.
