Description

❖

The crown jewel of your civilization. The Capital produces 50 Gold and 20 Research per tick, with +25% Research and +20% Gold modifiers. All resource production gains +5%, Elixir +10%. Defenders receive +10% Life and Attack. Only ONE Capital exists per empire - losing it has severe consequences.

📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼

The Capital serves as the administrative, cultural, and intellectual heart of your empire. Scholars congregate in its libraries (+25% Research), merchants thrive in its markets (+20% Gold), and efficient bureaucracy optimizes all production (+5% resources, +10% Elixir). The base production of 50 Gold and 20 Research per tick represents the royal treasury and great library. However, political concentration attracts unrest: Mutiny (+20%), Protests (+15%), Corruption (+10%), and Epidemic (+10%) risks all increase. Famine risk decreases (-20%) as the capital is well-supplied. Defenders fight with desperate determination for the throne (+10% Life and Attack). Strategic empires protect their Capital fiercely while using it as the research and economic engine.
