Citoyens et citoyennes Bonjour

We are proud to finally release the new expansion of Orbi Universo, the Age of Imperialism!

(Trailer made by a fan, yes the same)

As I said before the expansion is focused on the beginning of the modern era but it's not the only new features, first we will explore the novelties on the previous era

Overhaul of previous era

The allies

The allies can be acquired thanks to diplomacy and they participate in wars to help you win, they will damage enemy forces and push the balance in your favour, but beware they can be unreliable.

Two new social classes

The Bourgeoisie
Appear when the player unlocks the guilds in the Middle Ages, they will give a huge boost at your empire trades. The more your civilization is urbanized the more they will increase in number and influence.

The Peasantry
Appear when around the middle ages when the player unlocks mill
They will increase the output of agriculture.

Colonial interactions
The time where the colony were a separated world, now you can assist their development at the cost of monthly cash and political power, this will accelerate their growth and lower their autonomy desire
On the other end when the risqué of a revolt in the colonies is too high you also can use your mighty fleet to crush the revolution by your colonial Iron fist

Barbarian Threat
This Node will indicate how close you are to have Barbarian at the gate and so to the late antiquity. It helps to be better prepared for this era

The Imperialist era

Of course, you are here for the new era the imperialist era, this era is full of changes that can be considered a break with the feudal ways. The revolutions and mostly the consideration that the people have something to say.
The imperialist era is unlocked with the apparition of Coalition or Hostile Coalition, both will spawn if the player got advanced technology like Musket, ManOfWar, or a hight School of thought.

The Coalition spawn if you are a small state (less than 150 of state size and with a neighborhood rise is high
As long as this node is present both the neighborhood bellicism and the allies nodes get a very high boost.

The Hostile coalition represents a group of smaller countries that band together put you down. It spawns if you are a large state, more than 150 or more than 300 ColonialState.
As long as this node is present the neighborhood bellicism get a very high boost

This situation gives a long period of the game where you will be in a state of war, brace yourself.

The Revolution

The Revolution and how to deal with or against it is of course one of the main focus of this era

How the Revolution
-> It can happen if you have been in the imperialist era and there is no coalition going one
-> If you tax to munch your population they will revolt and possibly fire the ideal of the revolution
-> If the neighborhood is agitated it can spread the revolution ideal and maybe fire a revolution in your country

Welcome to the beginning of modern politics!
In this era, you have two factions that oppose themselves
The Revolution Ideal is the representation of the attachment of the ideal of the revolution by your people.

Reactionnairsm is the opposition to the revolution and the defense of the old regime They are mostly growing by your clergymen and in the reaction to the revolutionary reforms

Both organize revolt and seek to size powers if they are influential enough and without the appropriate regime, Monarchy, and derivated for the Reactionary or a Republic for the Revolutionary

Republican reform

Abolition of slavery
Free all the slaves of your civilization

Abolition of serfdom
They have only one value, this will boost the agricultural output but lower your capacity to tax them.

Revocation of the privileges
Will slowly decay the nobility and increase the numbers of bourgeois
It will also make the number of reactionaries explode

Dealing with the old world
To have a perennial republic you will have to deal with the reaction:

By sapping their main source of growing the clergy, Secularization of the society will lower the growth of the reactionaries by the priest and lowering the religiosity of your civilization

By promoting the politic of terror, it will kill part of your people and make sure nobody will ever trouble the republic any more

It will violently decrease your stability and damage your population but ...

...worth it

General Politics

Constitution
Available with you have writing and a high school of thought, it increases by a lot the max of political power you can accumulate
