Hello and welcome to a game based in the medieval setting where you all are trying to outdo each other, and npcs, to become emperor. Though becoming emperor is not enough, you must secure you position as emperor and hold it for 10 turns to be declared a true emperor. Throughout the game you will have to manage your population, resources, and armies to become the greatest emperor the empire has seen.

Spoiler: POP (click to show/hide)

For the population you have peasants, yeomen, knights, and nobles. You can promote, or demote, your pops as you see fit in the following way:
10 peasants:1 yeoman; cost 1 gold per pop
10 yeomen:1 knight; cost 2 gold and 4 food per pop
10 knights:1 noble; cost 1 crown, 5 gold, and 10 food per pop

Though demoting only costs 1 of said pop and gives 1 of the new pop. DOES NOT GIVE ANY RESOURCES.
The different pops grow at different speeds: peasants at 1/10, yeomen at 1/20, knights at 1/40, and nobles at 1/80.

Spoiler: Resources (click to show/hide)

For the resources you have food, gold, troops, and crowns. Each pop produces a separate resource: 100 peasants give 1 food, 100 yeomen give 1 gold, 100 knights give 1 troop, and 100 nobles give 1 crown.
Food is used to feed your population and armies: every 1000 pop eats 1 food, consumption for armies varies.
Gold is used to buy mercs and to pay your armies: prices vary for mercs and armies.
Troops are used to build and reinforce your armies: the amount needed to build and reinforce varies.
Crowns are used to influence lower ranked opponents and increase your rank: (10*rank of opponent) crowns to influence lower ranked opponents, (100*rank) crowns to increase your rank.

Spoiler: Territory (click to show/hide)

Each barony can support 10,000 pops TOTAL.
You gain more baronies by conquering your neighbors or settling in the frontier.
To conquer a neighbor just send however much of your army you want and a battle will happen, to the victor goes the spoils.
To settle the frontier send some of your army and pop to the new land. You’ll need the army to fight anyone else who is settling and barbarians. The amount you send of each is up to you.
Frontier land get discovered every turn though there is a limit to how many get discovered every turn.

Spoiler: Military (click to show/hide)

For armies and mercs you have retinue and levies. The following quote gives the cost and stats of each unit type, armies can be composed of as many units as you wish. Do note that these are for player built armies, mercs will come and go every turn and will have an upfront cost with an upkeep that is 10-20% of the cost.

Levies can be raised using free troops or pop, every 1 troop or 100 pop gives 1 unit of levies. Their att and def is 1. They cost .5 gold upkeep. They don't replenish after combat.
Retinue can be raised using free troops, every 1 troop gives 1 unit of retinue. Their att and def is 5. They cost 1.5 gold upkeep. They do replenish using free troops after combat.

Every 10 units is combined into a group, which are then combined at 10 into stacks, which are then combined at 10 into armies(this is for bookkeeping purposes and to make battles easier to manage). Can multiply the cost of a unit by 10 to build a group, 100 to build a stack, and/or 1000 to build an army.

Spoiler: The Ranks (click to show/hide)

1:Baron(starting rank)
2:Viscount: must own at least 3 baronies and cost 100 crowns
3:Count: must own at least 6 baronies and cost 200 crowns
4:Duke: must own at least 12 baronies and cost 400 crowns
5:King: must own at least 24 baronies and cost 800 crowns
6:Emperor: must own at least 48 baronies and cost 1600 crowns

There can only be 1 emperor, the first player to get to emperor and KEEP the rank for 10 turns wins the game. If someone gets to emperor the current emperor is demoted to duke(rank 4). The other win condition is to be a king and have no other player kings or dukes for 10 turns. That is where influencing opponents comes in, by influencing someone they have to spend that much more to rank up; just remember you can only influence lower rank opponents and only ONCE every 10 turns per opponent. Also you can only rank up ONCE every 2 turns.

Spoiler: The Market (click to show/hide)

The market is dynamic and the market prices will be shown on the bottom of each turn. Overselling or underselling to the market can cause it to crash, which will require it to restart.
