Game Changes:
-New Empire Slots: 10 new empire slots have been made for new players to join.
-Border Expansion: The world borders have been expanded to include: Africa, Mongolia, Central Asia and half of Siberia.
-Policy Changes:
All policies have been deleted. From now on when expanding you may either conquer one province at a time that is 30,000-75,000 miles, and lose 7,000 troops each time you do so. Or you may conquer multiple provinces that total to 30,000 miles total and gain 3,000 troops.
-Major War Changes: A new feature has been added to help wars become more strategic as well as more balanced. Feature is:
Generals, for the cost of 20,000 manpower each. A general is completely randomized and can either give a hefty multiplication bonus to your army in offesne and defense. A generals ranging bonuses are between 1x and 1.5x. Meaning, if your general had a defense bonus of 1.5x, a defending battalion of 100 troops could take on a battalion of 150 enemy troops, contrary to that, if your general has a decrease bonus of just 1x, a defending battalion of 100 troops would be equal to an enemy battalion of 100 troops. You cannot reroll generals, a general has a 1/15 chance of dying per day.
New Borders:
Upwards and outwards. Seeing as I can gain troops (supposedly) by only claiming max 30k territorial chunks, that’s probably the best option.
A little problem, all provinces around you are over 30k miles. Did you want to send a boat to a separate area and create a colony? Or waste 7,000 troops on it.
If I claim one of those provinces, would I then have access to areas under 30k miles? If so, I claim whichever one lets me do that. If not, I’ll send a boat and start colonising Madagascar.
The are you are in is a little tough, you will have access to 3-4 uner 30k zones. But the other under 30k zones are blocked by 30k+ areas.
Guess I’ll just start taking over Madagascar. This map is a little confusing as I can’t really tell what size everything is
