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:
Yes you can, though I have to warn you Libya has extremely large provinces that you might not be able to conquer.
The smallest ones in Libya, really the only ones you can start as, what is the name of your empire?
