Urbanization
Starting the Urbanization of your kingdom attracts more serfs from other
kingdoms to move into your towns, increasing your population.
Province Features
Each province can possess different types of terrain called Province
Features. A province can have up to three or none at all.
These let you build additional structures which can later produce
Trade Goods. For instance, the Province Feature known as Brine Deposits allows you
to build a Salt Mine.
Trade Goods
Trade Goods are
medieval products
obtained from the
assets in your province
through manufacturing. You have to erect the appropriate buildings to obtain the
required Trade Good. If you cannot produce a Trade Good, you can import it from a
kingdom that does. Just check the Political View via the Province Feature and Goods
filter to see who has the needed Trade Good, then establish a Trade Agreement and
send a Merchant to import the needed product. You can check the Royal Library for a
comprehensive list of all assets and valuables.
Exotic Goods
Exotic Goods are similar to valuables but they cannot be
produced. As the name suggests, they come from exotic
countries and can only be imported by towns which have
built an admiralty. When the province falls into enemy
hands, so does the Exotic Good.
Diplomacy
Almost every action you take has not only military and economic consequences,
but also diplomatic consequences. For starters, you cannot invade
a foreign country without first declaring war. What’s more, conquering
an enemy will cause his friends to heavily dislike you. If you are too
weak, you may find several of your enemies uniting to deal you a coordinated blow. In
other words, you may have a lot of diplomatic work to do before you draw your sword.
In order to engage in diplomatic activities, you have to select the kingdom you want to
negotiate with and ask for an audience with the current ruler.
