Provinces are the life of your strategic conquest, and will prove to be useful as outposts, airbases, navy bases and more. They have properties attached such as Population, Morale, Production, Terrain type. Healing/Defensive values and [[Victory ]] points. With production being mentioned, sometimes you will find provinces that are randomly chosen to provide a specific resource to aid you if you are finding it hard to earn a specific resource.

−
You can also see the text 'Homeland City', 'Occupied city' or 'Annexed city' written in the province bar which is there to let you know of the different states a city can be in. Cities have the largest strategic value, and allow you to focus on mobilisation or reproduction depending on what you need strategically.
+
Cities have the largest strategic value as they are worth a lot of [[Victory|Victory Points]], which is dependent on the city's [[#Population|population]].
 +
<ul>
 +
<li> Capture a city just like you would any other province. In this case, the city represents the province's <b>center-point</b>.
 +
<li> [[#Homeland City|Homeland cities]] and [[#Annexed City|annexed cities]] are the biggest source for [[Production #Resources|resources]].
 +
<li> The entrenchment bonus provides 25% less damage to units.

<h3> Homeland City </h3>
 
<h3> Homeland City </h3>
 
<div>
 
<div>
−
The name being self explanatory, Homeland cities is a city which you own at the start of your game. These cities will have the best starting stats, with high morale and population, so be sure to take care of them!
+
[[File: NATIONALIZE_ICON_BIG.png|thumb|right|200px]]
 +
Homeland cities are cities that you own at the start of a campaign. These cities have the best starting attributes, with high [[#Morale|morale]] and [[#Population|population]], so keep a good eye on them.
 
</div>
 
</div>
  
 
<h3> Occupied City </h3>
 
<h3> Occupied City </h3>
 
<div>
 
<div>
−
In you conquest for global domination, the populus do not appreciate your enforcement into their homeland. Morale is capped and stats are generally low, you will not be able to mobilise units but you are able to construct in the city and use it as a strategic base.
+
As you conquer new cities, the local population will not appreciate your invasion into their homeland. The base morale will be lower compared to homeland cities, produce only 25% resource, and you will not be able to mobilize units. You can, however, construct buildings.

[[File:Screenshot_at_Feb_13_08-38-28.png|thumb|right|100px]]
−
Annexed cities remove the Morale cap of an Occupied City and allow you to start mobilising units. As a result of this increase in Morale, also earns you a higher population rate and better resource gathering. To Annex a city, select it in your construction list.
+
Annexed cities allow you to mobilize units and increase resource production from 25% to 50%.
 +
It can be used as a forward unit mobilization base or to improve the economy. Due to the high cost, careful consideration needs to be made as initial return on investment is low in terms of resources.
 +
<br><br>
 +
- When captured, the city will lose its annexed state. It is therefore advised to annex a city in an easy to defend area, especially considering the high price.
 +
<br>
 +
- Annexed city have base morale of occupied city
 +
<br>
 +
- To annex a city, an option is available in the city’s construction list.

<h2>Population</h2>
 
<h2>Population</h2>
 
<div>
 
<div>
−
Population is a game mechanic which allows for Resources and Victory Points to have higher values. Investment in infrastructure, the construction of bunkers and hospitals, and a clearly visible and supportive military contingent of troops will encourage positive increases in population morale, while wars with multiple nations, poor diplomatic relations, and a lack of basic supplies will have negative effects on your campaign.
+
The size of a province's population determines the base production rate of its resources. Buildings that boost economic output base their gains on this rate. Population size also indicates how many [[Victory|Victory Points]] a province is worth. The greater the population, the greater the number of Victory Points.
 +
<ul>
 +
<li> Population growth is affected by morale.
 +
<li> Hospitals directly increase population growth.
 +
<li> Wars with multiple nations and a lack of basic supplies will have a negative impact.

WMD missile attacks will cause contamination on the map area which cause damage to unprotected units and population over time. If a city is contaminated you will need to manually decontaminate it.
+
WMD missile attacks will contaminate the target province. You have to manually decontaminate affected provinces by selecting the contaminated province and selecting the 'Decontaminate' option.
 +
 
 +
Contamination has a number of effects on the province, including preventing mobilization and preventing population growth at a certain contamination level.

−
The morale of each province or city is based on several parameters. All of them add or subtract something from the target-morale which is recalculated every day at Day Change. The morale of a province directly affects the production of the resources, units, and buildings of a country. If a province has a very low morale level, it will only produce a small percentage of the optimal amount possible. The most dramatic negative contributor to negative population morale is Insurgencies. In order to counter local population uprisings, leave a unit behind to encourage healthy relations, or inject Gold capital to spur the economy back from the devastation of recent war. When looking for cities low on Morale, remember to make use of the Morale view in the settings to pay attention to provinces which need it.
+
Morale plays a vital role in your nation's efficiency. It increases/decreases over time and is influenced by several factors. The morale for each province is updated with every in- game day-change. You can gain an overview of your provinces' morale by toggling the <b>Population Morale</b> overlay via the [[User Interface #C - Settings & Info panel|Settings & Info Panel]].
 
<ul>
 
<ul>
−
<li> Availability of Resources: Citizens need certain goods to be productive and efficient members of society. Players need to make sure to always meet the basic demands of their communities.
+
<li> If you are at war with a nation who has 0VP the morale of your nation will not be affected.
−
<li> Distance to the Capital: Players can conquer other capitals in order to shorten the paths to border provinces.
+
<li> Morale of a province directly affects its resource production rate, unit mobilization times, and construction time of buildings.
−
<li> War weariness: Nobody likes war - even when fought for a "just cause". Being at war with too many countries may make citizens lose confidence in their leader.
+
<li> If a province has a low morale level, its output of resources is significantly reduced.  
−
<li> Morale of neighbouring provinces: A revolutionist mood can spread across province borders, including those of neighbouring countries.
+
<li> You can construct buildings that boost morale. Investment in infrastructure, the construction of bunkers will gradually increase population morale.
−
<li> Enemy armies: If there are enemy troops on a player’s territory it will cause a negative effect on the people's morale.
+
<li> The most dramatic outcome of low morale is [[Insurgents|insurgency]]. In order to counter population uprisings, leave a unit behind to boost morale.
 
</ul>
 
</ul>
−
</div>
+
<br>
 +
Your population has a direct effect on the overall morale. Every unit has population damage which translates into civilian casualties in the game. (You can check population damage in the unit information screen, be wary though as it doesn't proportionally translate into a morale penalty).
 +
The more population you kill, the bigger the morale penalty you will receive. This loss in morale caps at -30 and you are able to recover 33% of that everyday. Therefore, if you are at -30 and you show mercy to your civilians, at day change you will drop to -20, then to -14, so on and so forth.
 +
The morale penalty is not severely affected by war, but nukes and chemical weapons tend to have a significant effect.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Some factors that affect your population's morale include:
 +
<ul>
 +
<li> Availability of Resources - Citizens need certain goods to be efficient members of society. Make sure your population's basic needs are met. These are 'Supplies' and 'Money', should these be in red, or zero - there will be an impact on population morale. [Click on the 'i' button next to Production Per Day on the [[User Interface #E - Army bar/Province bar|province bar]] to view the upkeep of the city.
 +
<li> [[#Distance to Headquarters|Distance to headquarters]]
 +
<li> War - Nobody likes war. Being at war with other countries has a negative impact on population morale.
 +
<li> Morale of neighboring provinces - A revolutionist mood can spread across province borders, including those of neighboring countries.
 +
<li> Enemy armies - Combat in your territory will have a negative impact on your people's morale, including artillery attacks on your cities and provinces. Also, neighboring enemy provinces also have a negative impact on your morale.
 +
<li> Enemy agents might also reduce your morale
 +
<li> Killing civilians ([[Combat #Crimes Against Humanity|population damage]]) reduces morale significantly.

<h3>Headquarters</h3>

<h3> Target Morale & Current Morale </h3>
 
<div>
 
<div>
−
As the capital is significant for the moral of your whole nation, players should always have an eye on the distance to your far-out provinces. 
+
<p>
−
To manage a big area as efficient as possible players have to improve provinces with buildings that raise its morale. Conquest of a capital has the following consequences:
+
Provinces have 2 states : Target Morale & Current Morale <br>
−
The country who lost its capital loses 20% morale in all of his provinces and the target-morale decreases by 40%.
+
The Target Morale for an annexed city is 75% and all morale modifiers (the values under Morale Factors section like distance to HQ) are added or subtracted from the Target Morale. This can be mathematically represented as following:
−
</div>
+
Highest attainable Morale for that city (<b>Calculated PER CITY</b>) = Target Morale - Negative Modifiers + Positive Modifiers
 +
If you have an annexed city (which has a Target Morale of 75%), and there are the following Morale Factors: -1, -8, -1, -4, +1, then the calculation is as follows:
 +
75% - 1 -8 -1 -4 + 1 = 62% Which is the morale percentage which your Morale will gravitate towards.
 +
 
 +
If you decide to spend gold to boost the morale for that city, and make it go up to 80%, but has a resting morale of 62% as per our example, then it will slowly decline until 62% is reached. Alternatively if an enemy lowers your morale, it will slowly rise until 62% is attained.
 +
 
 +
What this number means is that the target morale for that city is 62% and will not rise any higher as long as those negative modifiers are present.

Provinces

Highlighted Province

Provinces are the life of your strategic conquest, and will prove to be useful as outposts, airbases, navy bases and more. They have attributes such as Population, Morale, Production, and Terrain Type.

Province Concstuction List
  • Capturing and holding a province adds to your total Victory Points. In order to capture a province, your units must occupy its center-point (the point where roads usually form a junction). Note that only units that have the 'Capture and Occupy' ability will be able to do this, i.e. most infantry excluding Special Forces.
  • Some provinces contain resources that you harvest by building Local Industry. These resources spawn randomly when a new game is created.
  • Units that are stationed on a province's center-point receive an entrechment bonus that can be further increased through the construction of certain buildings.
  • Provinces without cities on their center-point have their own construction list.

Province Construction List

Combat Outpost

Outpost.png
  • Fortified defensive position
  • Reduces attackers combat strength
  • Increases basic population morale in province
  • Building destroyed when conquered by another player

Airfield

Airstrip.png
  • Allows aircraft, airmobile, and airlift operations
  • Operational at 40% HP
  • Building destroyed when conquered by another player

Field Hospital

Fieldhospital.png
  • Increases the healing rate of units in the province
  • Increases basic population morale in the province
  • Building destroyed when conquered by another player

Local Industry

Localindustry.png
  • Should only be constructed in provinces containing resources
  • Increases resources (but not manpower and money) produced in a province
  • Building destroyed when conquered by another player

Military Logistics

Logisticsnetwork.png
  • Increases ground unit movement speed in a province
  • Building destroyed when conquered by another player

Pontoon

Wharf.png
  • Can only be constructed in coastal provinces
  • Allows ground units to embark/disembark
  • Operational at 40% HP

Cities

City construction list

Cities have the largest strategic value as they are worth a lot of Victory Points, which is dependent on the city's population.

  • Capture a city just like you would any other province. In this case, the city represents the province's center-point.
  • Homeland cities and annexed cities are the biggest source for resources.
  • The entrenchment bonus provides 25% less damage to units.

Homeland City

Homeland cities are cities that you own at the start of a campaign. These cities have the best starting attributes, with high morale and population, so keep a good eye on them.

Occupied City

As you conquer new cities, the local population will not appreciate your invasion into their homeland. The base morale will be lower compared to homeland cities, produce only 25% resource, and you will not be able to mobilize units. You can, however, construct buildings.

Annexed City

Annexed cities allow you to mobilize units and increase resource production from 25% to 50%. It can be used as a forward unit mobilization base or to improve the economy. Due to the high cost, careful consideration needs to be made as initial return on investment is low in terms of resources.

- When captured, the city will lose its annexed state. It is therefore advised to annex a city in an easy to defend area, especially considering the high price.
- Annexed city have base morale of occupied city
- To annex a city, an option is available in the city’s construction list.

Population

The size of a province's population determines the base production rate of its resources. Buildings that boost economic output base their gains on this rate. Population size also indicates how many Victory Points a province is worth. The greater the population, the greater the number of Victory Points.

  • Population growth is affected by morale.
  • Hospitals directly increase population growth.
  • Wars with multiple nations and a lack of basic supplies will have a negative impact.

WMD Contamination

WMD missile attacks will contaminate the target province. You have to manually decontaminate affected provinces by selecting the contaminated province and selecting the 'Decontaminate' option.

Contamination has a number of effects on the province, including preventing mobilization and preventing population growth at a certain contamination level.

Morale

Population Morale Overlay - from negative (red) to positive (green)

Morale plays a vital role in your nation's efficiency. It increases/decreases over time and is influenced by several factors. The morale for each province is updated with every in- game day-change. You can gain an overview of your provinces' morale by toggling the Population Morale overlay via the Settings & Info Panel.

  • If you are at war with a nation who has 0VP the morale of your nation will not be affected.
  • Morale of a province directly affects its resource production rate, unit mobilization times, and construction time of buildings.
  • If a province has a low morale level, its output of resources is significantly reduced.
  • You can construct buildings that boost morale. Investment in infrastructure, the construction of bunkers will gradually increase population morale.
  • The most dramatic outcome of low morale is insurgency. In order to counter population uprisings, leave a unit behind to boost morale.


Your population has a direct effect on the overall morale. Every unit has population damage which translates into civilian casualties in the game. (You can check population damage in the unit information screen, be wary though as it doesn't proportionally translate into a morale penalty). The more population you kill, the bigger the morale penalty you will receive. This loss in morale caps at -30 and you are able to recover 33% of that everyday. Therefore, if you are at -30 and you show mercy to your civilians, at day change you will drop to -20, then to -14, so on and so forth. The morale penalty is not severely affected by war, but nukes and chemical weapons tend to have a significant effect.


Some factors that affect your population's morale include:

  • Availability of Resources - Citizens need certain goods to be efficient members of society. Make sure your population's basic needs are met. These are 'Supplies' and 'Money', should these be in red, or zero - there will be an impact on population morale. [Click on the 'i' button next to Production Per Day on the province bar to view the upkeep of the city.
  • Distance to headquarters
  • War - Nobody likes war. Being at war with other countries has a negative impact on population morale.
  • Morale of neighboring provinces - A revolutionist mood can spread across province borders, including those of neighboring countries.
  • Enemy armies - Combat in your territory will have a negative impact on your people's morale, including artillery attacks on your cities and provinces. Also, neighboring enemy provinces also have a negative impact on your morale.
  • Enemy agents might also reduce your morale
  • Killing civilians (population damage) reduces morale significantly.


Target Morale & Current Morale

Provinces have 2 states : Target Morale & Current Morale
The Target Morale for an annexed city is 75% and all morale modifiers (the values under Morale Factors section like distance to HQ) are added or subtracted from the Target Morale. This can be mathematically represented as following: Highest attainable Morale for that city (Calculated PER CITY) = Target Morale - Negative Modifiers + Positive Modifiers If you have an annexed city (which has a Target Morale of 75%), and there are the following Morale Factors: -1, -8, -1, -4, +1, then the calculation is as follows: 75% - 1 -8 -1 -4 + 1 = 62% Which is the morale percentage which your Morale will gravitate towards. If you decide to spend gold to boost the morale for that city, and make it go up to 80%, but has a resting morale of 62% as per our example, then it will slowly decline until 62% is reached. Alternatively if an enemy lowers your morale, it will slowly rise until 62% is attained. What this number means is that the target morale for that city is 62% and will not rise any higher as long as those negative modifiers are present.


Distance to Headquarters

Relocate Headquarters

Your nation's capital is a significant factor for morale across provinces.

  • The greater the distance between a province and your capital, the greater the negative impact on that province's morale will be.
  • You can designate a new city as your capital which will boost morale performance by 25% to nearby cities and provinces.
  • If your capital is conquered by another player or rogue faction, all your provinces lose 20% morale.


Terrain

Each province has a terrain type which can be seen through the terrain overlay or province bar. There are ten types of terrain that will directly influence your unit's attributes.

Terrain Types

Check out the Terrain Modifiers section to see how terrain affects your units' attributes.

Terrain Icon Terrain Type Description Image
Terrain openground.png
Open Ground A light vegetation which favors mobile warfare. Most units have maximum speed on this kind of terrain.
