📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry

Townships represent the thriving communities that form the productive foundation of your empire. Their agricultural focus provides +10% to Food, Wood, and Herbs, while modest commerce yields 20 Gold per tick (+5% modifier). The peaceful nature of these settlements reduces unrest (-10% Mutiny, -10% Corruption), but population density increases health risks (+10% Famine from higher food demand, +5% Epidemic). Townships excel as food production centers when built on Meadow terrain and as population growth hubs with Residences. Defenders are motivated to protect their homes (+5% Life and Attack).
