Government Types

Note: Gov types are configurable. While some things can't be changed about a government type, perks and transitions are completely configurable. The following assumes you're using the default configs (which most people use anyway)

Government types mainly change the mechanics of town ownership, but can also change the economics of the town. Your town's gov type is visible from the town menu. Only the sole owner of a town can change the gov type by clicking on its icon from the town menu. Gov types can only be changed once per day. Also, you can set a minimum population before gov types can transition

Custom Gov Types

You can now make your own gov types! Add a new file to the gov-type folder. Name it whatever you want, but use "_" instead of " ". Follow the same format as the other gov types, but include the following: inherit: DICTATORSHIP This means that your gov type will have the built-in mechanics of whatever gov type you inherit. You can't inherit other custom gov types.

You can also set selectable: false to make a government type not appear in the menu as an option when choosing a gov type

There are ways of forcing a town to change it's gov type too:

• inactive: If no town owner sets foot in the town an amount of time
• money-gap: If a single member or owner of the town has a large % of the total town member's money
• power: If the town is below an amount of power
• revolt: If a % of players click the revolt torch in the town menu (which costs 64 gunpowder per player by default)
