📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼

Corruption represents the decay of administrative integrity as officials embezzle resources and accept bribes. Gold hemorrhages (-40%), valuable materials disappear (-30% Gems, -25% Mithril, -20% Mineral/Marble/Dextronium), and research funding is redirected (-15%). The military remains loyal as corruption primarily affects civilian administration (no combat penalties). Resolution requires investigation and purging (400 Gold, 300 seconds - the longest resolution time). Spies (-20% Corruption) and Priests (-5%) help prevent this slow-burning crisis.
