Cultural Map - Week 0 and 1

​

This is the first weekly post for state and cultural expansions! Expansion is briefly touched upon in the New Player Guide, but here is a more complete rundown of expansion mechanics:

​

• Cultural expansion is calculated as your initial starting provinces, plus an additional point per week, plus your sustenance score, rounded down. The resulting value represents a cap to your expansion. As an example, if a culture with a 2.50 sustenance score seeks to expand on week 1, then the cap will be fixed at:

5 (base) 1 (week) 2 (sustenance) = 8 provinces

Note that expansion is not compulsory, and that consistent maximum expansions over the course of subsequent weeks will have an effect on your people’s population patterns that must be considered in your roleplay.

​

• State expansion is purely based on roleplay/writing, which must remain consistent with your culture’s technological level – if you’re unsure whether your state expansion is sensible, as always, you can discuss it with the mods beforehand.
