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).
  • 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.

Cities

City construction list

Cities have the largest strategic value as they are worth a lot of Victory Points, which even increase further as a city's population grows.

  • 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.
  • Cities provide a better entrechment bonus to defending troops, compared to normal provinces, and have more buildings in their construction list that further increase it.

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

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.

Annexed City

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.

Population

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.

WMD Contamination

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.

Morale

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.

  • 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.
  • Distance to the Capital: Players can conquer other capitals in order to shorten the paths to border provinces.
  • 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.
  • Morale of neighbouring provinces: A revolutionist mood can spread across province borders, including those of neighbouring countries.
  • Enemy armies: If there are enemy troops on a player’s territory it will cause a negative effect on the people's morale.

Distance to Headquarters

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. 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: The country who lost its capital loses 20% morale in all of his provinces and the target-morale decreases by 40%.

Terrain

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

Terrain Types

Terrain Icon Terrain Type Description
Terrain openground.png
Open Ground A light vegetation which favors mobile warfare. Most units have maximum speed on this kind of terrain.
Terrain mountains.png
Mountains Extremely rugged terrain that causes dramatic effects upon unit movement and unit attrition. Most units, and especially the armored units, have minimum speed on this kind of terrain.
Terrain forest.png
Forest Medium vegetation that while reducing movement of units also provides defensive options in the form of ample cover.
Terrain urban.png
Urban Dense civilian population with tightly constructed buildings. Favors defense and disfavors heavy armor such as tanks. Units are usually very slow in this kind of terrain.
Terrain suburban.png
Suburban DESCRIPTION
Terrain jungle.png
Jungle Dense and difficult vegetation, reduces movement and causes attrition in troops. Favors infantry. Most units, and especially the armored units, have minimal speed on this terrain.
Terrain tundra.png
Tundra Arctic terrain that causes dramatic attrition and disfavors infantry.
Terrain desert.png
Desert Arid terrain that causes attrition. Favors mobile warfare.
Terrain highseas.png
High Seas Open sea marked with large rolling waves.
Terrain coastalwaters.png
Coastal Waters Coastal waters marked with easily navigable waves.

Attrition

Attrition is a mechanism that makes your units lose some HP as they go through some kind of terrain. It’s not severe enough to kill your units, but the Russian Winter or the Sahara Desert will definitely wound your divisions. Beware of Mountains, Jungles, Arctic, and Desert terrain.
