Territories are the smallest unit of land in Imperator: Rome. Territories are grouped into provinces, and provinces are grouped into regions.
Territory mechanics
这部分内容可能已不适合当前版本,最后更新于1.4。 |
Fixed:
- Each territory has a given terrain type.
- Each territory produces one item of a single type of trade good for its province.
- Each territory has a culture and religion depending on pops' dominant culture and religion in the territory.
- Each territory has 5 desired Slave ratio. This means pops in settlements in Republics and Monarchies will all demote to slaves unless a barracks is built.
- Each territory has 1 base building slot. Settlements have different buildings compared to cities.
- Coastal territories can have a port. Ports add modifiers to import routes in the province. Ports cannot be built by the player.
- Each state has a starting capital; each province has a starting provincial capital.
- Each territory's starting civilization value, starting number of pops including their social group, culture and religion, etc.
- Some territories (usually major cities) have special unique modifiers. See Unique City Modifiers.
- Each territory (except state capitals) has a holding.
Variable:
- Each territory has its own civilization value.
- Each territory has a number of Population (pops) living in it.
- Each city/metropolis can have a number of Buildings; settlements can only have 1 building.
- Each territory generates Unrest, affecting province loyalty.
- Both the state capital and provincial capitals can be changed, but with costs and restrictions.
Derivatives:
- Each territory has its own supply limit.
- Each port has a chance to spawn pirates in an adjacent sea zone.
Actions
These actions can be performed from the territory menu:
- Recruitment (some units are restricted by the availability of strategic trade goods in the territory's province).
- Colonization.
- Constructing buildings.
- View pop distribution in territory and move pops (slaves, and if tribal, tribesmen).
- Coordinate urban development: Available only in a city or metropolis, spending 25 political influence to increase Civilization level by +1 after 2 years.
Territory categories

Settlements
Settlements represent sparsely populated areas of land; they have penalties to output, migration speed, and pop-type ratio. Settlements only support one building, but have their own unique set of powerful buildings, so you can specialize them accordingly.
City
Cities have a large bonus to population capacity, and will act as focal urban centers for your empire. Cities have a higher population limit and make your freemen and citizens happier, but require more slaves to make an extra unit of trade good - they will tend to consume, rather than create, resources. More importantly, cities will increase provincial food consumption, due to their higher population and their inability to produce food (any settlement producing any trade good in the "Food" category will lose said trade good when upgraded to a city; a new trade good would be produced in its place). New cities can be founded from settlements, allowing you to shape the world to your own desire. Founding a city takes 2 years to be completed, during this time the Population output is reduced by -100%. Each city can have at least 1 building, and 1 for every 10 pops in the city. The capital city has +1 building slot. All cities also produce a minimum of 2 units of Trade Goods.
- Tribal: +25%
- Tribal Law, Infrastructure Tenets: +50%
- Heritage, Ptolemaios: -15%
- Heritage, Etruria: -25%
- Heritage, Heraclea Pontica: -25%
- Heritage, Rural: -20%
- local population capacity: +10
- local building slot: +2
- local citizen desired pop ratio: +35
- local freemen desired pop ratio: +35
- local slaves desired pop ratio: +25
Metropolis
When a city that is a provincial capital reaches 80 pops, can be designated as metropolis: it cost 400 and 100 ), takes 2 years to be completed and during this time the Population output is reduced by -100%. A metropolis is considered the peak of a city’s urban evolution. A metropolis does not have access to any unique buildings (instead using the same buildings as cities), but will improve living conditions for certain pop classes, as well as boost population capacity and is provided with +2 bulding slots. A metropolis also produces a minimum of 3 units of Trade Goods.
- local population capacity: +5
- local population capacity modifier: +25%
- local building slot: +2
- local pop promotion speed modifier: +10%
- local migration attraction: +2
- local state trade routes: +1
Country capital
这部分内容可能已不适合当前版本,最后更新于1.4。 |
Every country that owns at least one territory has a capital territory, the seat of the government and usually the largest, wealthiest, and most important city in the country. The capital territory gets the following modifiers:
- +10% Supply Limit
- File:Global monthly civilization.png +0.02% Monthly Civilization Change
- +10% Population Output
- +2% Local Citizen Desired Ratio
- +2% Local Freeman Desired Ratio
- +5% Local Citizen Happiness
- +35% Population Capacity
- +1 City Building Slots
- +0.25% Pop Promotion Speed
- +2 Migration Attraction
- +20% Pop Conversion Speed
- +20% Pop Assimilation Speed
- +1.50 Local Monthly Food
In addition to these baseline bonuses, the capital territory is also often granted permanent bonuses by a number of decisions and missions, most notably all country formation decisions and the generic infrastructure mission. This makes it advantageous to make the capital as large as possible, as pops in the capital are usually far more productive than pops in any other territory, particularly if trade good bonuses are being accumulated in the capital province. By the midgame, the capital territory will often have outgrown its local food supply and begin to necessitate imports food goods to feed its growing population.
The province and region that the country capital is also have special modifiers and mechanics that generally make them more valuable than more peripheral areas. Control of a country's capital is important during wars, as it is extra warscore and provides bonus war enthusiasm for countries that still control their capitals, as well as being the primary target enslaved pops to be sent to - slaves will generally not go to other territories in significant numbers unless the capital territory has reached its population capacity. The capital is also the point from which diplomatic range is calculated from (for non-neighbouring countries).
If desired, the capital can be moved at any time to a territory of the primary culture and religion in a loyal province as long as the country is not at war. The cost is 50 + 5 times the difference in population between the current capital and the new capital in political influence, with a minimum cost of 80 and a maximum of 250. This means that it is much cheaper to move the capital to a more populated territory than vice versa.
Provincial capital
这部分内容可能已不适合当前版本,最后更新于1.5。 |
Every province that a country owns or partially owns has a province capital, representing the center of the local administration. If multiple countries own part of the same province, each of part will have its own provincial capital. The capital of the capital province is always the same as the national capital.
Provincial capitals get the following bonuses:
- +10% Population Output
- +6 Population Capacity
- +10% Pop Promotion Speed
- +1 Migration Attraction
- +1 Local Monthly Food
Province capitals are important in wartime as they determine who controls the province as a whole. A province cannot be demanded in a peace treaty unless its capital is occupied, and armies can only resupply in foreign territory if the capital of the province is occupied. They are also the primary targets for receiving slaves when occupying enemy territory, after the national capital.
Provincial capitals may be relocated during peace time for a cost of provincial loyalty. Relocating the provincial capital to a settlement lowers provincial loyalty by 30, to a city lowers loyalty by 20, and to a metropolis by 10.
Only territories that are the provincial capital can be raised to metropolis status.
Ports and piracy
这部分内容可能已不适合当前版本,最后更新于1.0。 |
Ports (indicated by a lighthouse and circling seagulls overhead) are the only cities where ships can dock and be built. Locations of port cities are fixed. Uncolonized provinces do not have a lighthouse icon, but all ports have seagulls flying around them and so can be distinguished that way.
Each port city has a monthly chance to spawn pirates in an adjacent sea zone, based on the number of trade routes (both incoming and outgoing) in the city's province. Each trade route beyond the first increases the chance by +0.1%, while each trireme docked in the city decreases it by -0.1%.
If pirates spawn, they will be a universally hostile fleet, which will blockade all port cities adjacent to their sea zone, lowering commerce income in their provinces.
Some pirate fleets already exist at the start of the game.
Terrain types
这部分内容可能已不适合当前版本,最后更新于1.5。 |
Every territory has a fixed, predefined terrain type that cannot be changed. Terrain type has a significant impact on a territory's habitability through population capacity and food production modifiers, and is important to consider for army maneuvering and supply as well. Generic heritages are also assigned partly based on the terrain type of a country's capital territory at the start of the game.
Sea territories also have terrain types like land territories. The primary effect of sea terrain is to affect the movement speed of ships.

Supply limit

- 参见:Attrition
The supply limit determines whether a given army suffers attrition. Base Supply Limit is 5 + 0.5 per pop in the city. It is then multipled by Supply Limit Efficiency, the base value of which is 100%, and which can be further modified by the following:
Type | Modifier | Value |
---|---|---|
City feature | Terrain types: Mountains / Marsh / Jungle | -50% |
Civilization Value | +2% per point | |
Being the city's owner | +25% | |
Trade goods | Vegetables in the province | +10% |
Surplus of Vegetables in the province (only affects the province's capital city) |
+2.5% per surplus | |
Invention | Supernumerarii (lvl 1) | +10% |
Fighting Season (lvl 4) | +10% | |
Logistics Division (lvl 11) | +10% | |
Delayed Baggage Train (lvl 15) | +25% | |
Central Reserve (lvl 19) | +25% | |
Diplomacy | Having military access to the city | +10% |
Civilization value
这部分内容可能已不适合当前版本,最后更新于1.4。 |
A territory's civilization value represents its level of infrastructure and urbanization and is the biggest contributor to pop happiness. Increasing the current civilization value of the capital to 50 is also one of the main requirements for a tribal nation to reform into a republic or monarchy, and some city buildings also require a minimum civilization level.
A territory's civilization value spans between 0 and 100, with each point granting the following local effects:
- Population Capacity: +0.10
- Supply Limit: +2%
- Barbarian Growth: -0.005
- Migration Attraction: +0.1
- Local Citizen Happiness: +1%
- Local Freemen Happiness: +0.7%
- Local Tribesmen Happiness: -0.5%
Maximum civilization level
Each territory has a maximum possible civilization value, which is the sum of its owner's country civilization level and any province or territory-specific modifiers to local civilization level. The country civilization level is generally the most consequential, as it is applied across all the territories in the country, and its value is determined largely by a country's government form, its level of Oratory Advances, and positive centralization for tribal nations. Local modifiers can increase the civilization level of certain territories, particularly the capital, much higher than the country-wide value and is mostly given from decision modifiers (especially when creating formable nations) and coordinating urban development.
All static sources of maximum civilization level are listed below.
Type | Modifier | Civilization Cap | Maximum Increase |
---|---|---|---|
Base | Base | +10% | |
Centralization Level | +0.1% per point above 0 | +10% at 100% | |

Center of Civilization | +10% | ||
Emergent Capital | +10% |
- Government bonuses are, of course, exclusive to each other.
- The Centers of Civilization and Emergent Capital modifiers are added to the capital territory when creating a formable nation.
Civilization change
Maximum civilization level does nothing by itself, but allows the territory's actual civilization level to slowly rise to that level. Each month, the civilization value of every territory that is below its local maximum civilization level will increase by the value of the File:Global monthly civilization.png monthly civilization change modifier, which can be increased with various omens, inventions, governor policies, and other modifiers. If the local maximum civilization level is lower than the territory's current civilization level, it will instead decrease at a fixed rate of -0.10% per month until it reaches the cap again.

Urban development
The civilization value of cities can be increased above and beyond its natural maximum by using the Coordinate Urban Development action, which costs a base of 25 political influence (modified by the Urban Development Cost modifier) and, after 2 years, will give a stackable bonus of +1% local civilization level and +0.01% monthly civilization change to the city. This action can only be used while the civilization level of the city remains below 60, which means that it is primarily useful only in the early game or for tribal nations looking to improve their capital in preparation for reforming into a monarchy or republic.
