Region

The game world spans the whole of Europe as it was during the Middle Ages, and is sub-divided into 14 regions. These regions possess different climates and geological characteristics, which is why they are beset by different phenomena such as droughts, frost, forest fires, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Naturally, all such events will affect nearby towns.

In addition, each regions also has a special military unit as well as an individual military leader. These generals will declare their allegiance to whoever has acquired the title to that region.

To obtain the title, an empire needs to house a certain percentage of the population in that region. The percentage varies from region to region. If one empire obtains the title, it can lose it again if another empire has a higher percentage.
