In other words, don’t shoot yourself in the foot.

Expanding Your Faction

Regardless of which faction you choose, your ultimate goal is total dominance.

And you might only achieve that by growing your army, and your income with it.

Well, this won’t happen overnight.

Instead, you’ll need to snowball it by conquering, province by province.

To take control of a province, you must control the most settlements within it.
