Realm Maker

Realm Maker
Unless otherwise stated, when a rule asks you to reference a level or an improvement, it is considering only the current province and not across the entire realm.

Founding a Realm

Founding a new realm is no easy feat. It requires you to possess an enormous reserve of capital and workforce.

Every 1,000 gp worth of coins and gems adds 1 Wealth point to your Treasury.
Every 1,000 gp worth of tools adds 1 Goods point to your Treasury.

A 1st-level creature provides 1 Laborers development point, so you would need 1,000 of such laborers to have 1 level of Laborers capital. You can reduce that number by increasing the development point worth of each laborer by several ways:

Each addition level (from base creature level or experience) increases their worth by 1 point.
Provide high quality tools. Every 1 point of Goods or 2 points of Wealth increases a laborer's point value by 1, so if you spend 500 Goods of points on 500 laborers, you will have 1 level of Laborers capital available.
Add the laborer's size modifier to your Laborers level (note that smaller creatures will result in you needing more than 1,000 of them to reach 1 level).

Realm Turn Sequence

Upkeep Phase

Pay Government Consumption—Pay your government upkeep with capital from your treasury.
Pay Unit Consumption—Pay the consumption for all of your units. If they are garrisoned, pay with capital from your treasury. If they are deployed, pay with capital in their supplies.
Update Population—Update the population for each province.
Update Hex Danger—Update Danger development based on the province's hexes.
Check Social Class Support—Check the support of each social class for each province, and apply any effects.
Check Capital Consumption—Check the consumption levels of each capital for each province, and apply any effects.
Check Religion Effects—Check the levels of each religion for each province, and apply their effects.

Income Phase

Collect Taxes—Add taxed capital to your treasury from all provinces according to your Taxation Edict.
Make Deposits To Treasury—You can add funds to a realm's treasury by donating your personal wealth to the realm. Every 1,000 gp worth of coins or gems deposited adds 1 point of Wealth. Every 1,000 gp worth of magic items deposited adds 1 point of Magic.

Build Phase

Provincial Development—This phase only occurs if your control edict is not "absolute". For each hireling and capital, the province buys development points equal to one-tenth of its Wealth development divided by the capital's point cost or Wealth point cost (whichever is higher), up to an amount that does not exceed what is needed to reach the next level. Magic is developed first, followed by Hirelings, followed by the rest of the types of capital except for Wealth which is developed last.
Religion Development—Each religion's development increases if the province meets one or more growth conditions.

Decision Phase

Realm leaders make Leadership Actions.

Event phase

GM rolls for random events.

Government

Treasury

The Treasury contains the resources your government controls. Through taxes and other means, you can store the following capital and services:

Food
Goods
Magic
Materials
Wealth

Your government can also store Labor. However, each point of Labor increases your government expenses by 1 Wealth point. This represents hiring laborers and keeping them on government retainer.

Each time you purchase capital from your nation with Wealth points, increase the selling province's Wealth development by 1 point for each Wealth point spent.

In addition to the above, you can store Influence. Influence is the support and collection of favors that can be used to convince your realm to follow your commands without having to pay other capital.

Each province can have its own Treasury. These are capital freely accessible by provincial leaders. Realm leaders can also tap into these capital for actions in the provincial Treasury's province, but using them for actions in other provinces makes its provincial leaders unhappy, and reduces that province's Support for all social classes by 1 + 1 per 10 capital taken away. You do not need to assign capital in provincial Treasury, but that requires provincial leaders to tap into the realm's Treasury which you can permit freely or with conditions.

Leaders

Realm leaders are members of the government that have the authority to perform leadership actions.

How individual realm leaders are compensated for their services is up to themselves to come to an agreement. However, the staff for each leader to accomplish their actions does require payment. The government upkeep cost in Wealth points per leader is equal to 1 for every 20 levels of the realm's Population (minimum 1 Wealth point).

There is a lower rank type of leader called "provincial leader". These leaders are assigned to a province, and can only target their province with their leadership action. However, they gain a +10 bonus on all leadership checks for those actions. The government upkeep cost in Wealth points per provincial leader is equal to 1 for every 20 levels of the province's Population level (minimum 1 Wealth point).

A realm leader can be assigned as a provincial leader to only one province. A realm leader assigned this way can still target their leadership actions to any province and also gain the +10 bonus on actions targeting their assigned province. The government upkeep cost for such leaders remains that for a realm leader.

Every settlement needs at least one leader assigned to it, either a realm leader or a provincial leader. A settlement without a leader can have settlement improvement built in it.

Leadership Actions

Your nation always has at least one nation leader, your Ruler. The Ruler may then decide to create or retire additional nation leaders. The Ruler determines the titles, responsibilities, and hierarchy of these nation leaders. Each additional leader increases your government upkeep by 10.

Each leader can perform leadership actions. These actions require time to perform, measured in days of 8 hours of activity. Your skill in political management can make you more efficient in your work and reduce the number of days an action requires to finish. You can make a Profession (politician) check at DC 10 + the province's size modifier, and you can reduce your action's time by 1 day + 1 day for every 10 that your result is above the DC (to a minimum of 0 days). Failing the check by 10 or more represents your complete mismanagement of your office, and the action's time is doubled. You can take 10 on leadership checks.

You can choose to spend Influence, Magic, or Wealth from your treasury on checks to reduce the action's time or as part of the action. Each point of Magic and Wealth grants a +1 bonus to any leadership check, while 1 Influence grants a +2 bonus.

Each leader can hire a staff of hirelings that can aid her on her checks by using the aid another action with the same skill. The leader is responsible for compensating the staff's own expenses to keep them hired.

On success, add your result to your treasury's Food capital. This action costs Wealth equal to the province's Wealth point cost.

Develop Province

Time 1 day.
Select a province and one of its capital. You can increase that capital's development points by paying its cost with capital from your treasury. You can pay using Wealth points or with the target capital's alternative cost.

If you pay with Wealth, the cost of Wealth points per development point is equal to the highest number between the province's Wealth level or the target capital's current level. High Wealth level represents the increased quality of life and costs of living which increases the cost of paying for goods and services.

The target's alternative cost lists one or more different types of capital that you can use to pay for development points. If you pay with those alternative capitals, the cost is equal to the target capital's current level. You can pay with just one type of capital, or you can split the cost between two or more of the listed alternative capitals. Paying this way represents that you are providing the required materials without any middleman.

The amount of development points you can purchase per Develop Province action is equal to 1 + the level of the target capital's Hireling + the province's inhabitant base level.

Explore Hex

Time 1 day.
Select an unexplored hex and one of your units. That unit is sent to explore that hex. You can select this action multiple times using the same unit. The hex is only explored when the unit travels to it, spends the time to explore it, and returns to one of your settlements, Forts, or Watchtowers.

The cost of each point of capital purchased is equal to the province's Wealth development point cost. Increase Wealth development by the amount of capital purchased. You can reduce the Wealth cost per point by 2 for every point of Influence spent (to a minimum cost of 1 Wealth).

Alternatively, you can simply seize the capital without paying anything, but this reduces the province's Support by 1 for every point taken.

Borrow Wealth

Time 1 day.
You borrow Wealth from the people of your province and add it to your Treasury with a promise to pay them back at a later date with interest. Reduce Wealth development by an amount equal to the amount of Wealth you are borrowing.

Add a Debt condition to the province with a duration of your choice (minimum 1 month). At the end of its duration, you must deduct the amount of Wealth initially borrowed plus its interest from your Treasury. Upon doing so, the Debt condition is removed and increase Wealth development by the amount of Wealth paid back divided by its point cost.

Interest is equal to 1% per month of the Debt's duration. If you do not have enough Wealth to pay back the Debt or you refuse to pay, the condition remains, the province's Support decreases by 1 for every 100 Wealth owed, and the interest rate increases to 2% per month of the Debt's original duration. You have the chance to pay back the debt every month, but each time you fail to do so, Support decreases by 1 and the interest rate increases by 1% per month of the Debt's duration.

Train Professionals

Espionage

Espionage actions require an agent to perform. An agent assigned to an action cannot be assigned to another action during the same realm turn. You can be your own agent if you so wish.

Each agent increases your Government Upkeep costs by 10 Wealth per level.

During the Upkeep phase, you can provide each agent an amount of Goods, Magic, or Wealth. The agent can spend these capital to gain a +1 bonus for each point spent on any check they need to make.

Agent Failure: If an agent fails an espionage check with no degree of failure, the agent escapes undetected. If he fails by 1 degree, he escapes, but his identity and affiliation is discovered by the target realm. If he fails by 2 degrees, he is captured by the target realm. If he fails by 3 degrees, he is killed in action.

Increase the DC by a further 10 if that number exceeds the number of the selected people living in the entire realm.
Increase the DC by 10 if the unit's size modifier is greater than its hireling's level in the province.
Increase the DC by a further 10 if the unit's size modifier is greater than its hireling's level in the entire realm

The DC is further modified by the Support and Morale of the province's social classes.

For Soldiers, use the Working-class' Support and Morale.
For Mages and Priests, use the Middle-class' Support and Morale.
If the social class' Support is above 60, reduce the DC by 5 if Morale is Willful, and by 10 if it is Radical.

Edicts

Appointment

Elected increase morale, increase corruption

Hereditary increase security, reduce morale

Trial increase hireling dev point limit by pop level, increase danger

Borders

Open: increase Corruption and Danger, increased Growth, increase point limit for all hirelings by province size modifier.

Development

Absolute: Only your government controls the flow of capital and can purchase development points. Increase Corruption by each hireling and capital level during the Upkeep phase. Decrease Morale by 10 for Working, Middle, and Upper classes when changing this edict from "Free" to "Absolute".

Free: Your province develops itself with a budget of its Wealth development to buy development points in each capital. The budget is a percentage equal to the capital's hireling level. For example, if your Mages level is 7, then your Magic capital has a budget of 7% of your Wealth's development points. The cost is equal to the capital's point cost or Wealth's point cost (whichever is higher). Increase Morale by 10 for Working, Middle, and Upper classes when changing this edict from "Absolute" to "Free".

Governance

The Governance edict dictates who can change realm edicts.

Autocracy is governance by a single person, the Ruler, who is the only leader who can change realm edicts.

Oligarchy is governance by all of the realm leaders. Upon selecting this edict option, determine what proportion of the oligarchy is required to agree to an edict change and how many members are required to attend to the decision. The oligarchy members present to vote on edict changes each spend a day of activity. For example, you may agree that edict decisions pass when at least 51% of the oligarchy agrees, 66% agrees, or even just 33% agrees. To change the agreement proportion, the oligarchy needs to agree to change the Governance edict and choose the Oligarchy option again with the new proportion. The attitude of leaders included in the oligarchy towards the Ruler increases by 1 step when changing the Governance edict to "Oligarchy". The attitude of leaders in the oligarchy towards the Ruler decreases by 2 steps when the Governance edict is changed away from "Oligarchy".

Assembly is governance by people that are not assigned as realm leaders. Upon selecting this edict option, determine what criteria people must meet in order to take part of the assembly, what proportion of the assembly is required to agree to an edict change, and how many members are required to attend to the decision. The assembly members present to vote on edict changes each spend a day of activity. For example, you may decide that only women above the age of 20 years that are citizens of your realm that are elected by lots of 1,000 citizens may be part of your realm's assembly, and that at least 55% of the assembly must agree to an edict change. To change assembly criteria or its agreement proportion, the assembly needs to agree to change the Governance edict and choose the Assembly option again with the new criteria or the new proportion. Increase Morale for all social classes by 10 when changing the Governance edict to "Assembly", and reduce Morale for all social classes by the Population level when changing the edict away from "Assembly".

Holidays

Every holiday increases the Comfort, Performers, and Priests development point limit by 1, and reduces the Wealth development point limit by 1.

Magic

Free: No change.

Restricted: Set a level. Reduce Mages and Magic development point limits by the Restriction level (to a minimum of 0), increase their point cost by the Restriction level, and increase the number of Magic development points needed to increase Danger development by the Restriction level. By default, each point of Magic development purchased increases Danger development by 1 as well. If, for example, you set your Magic Restriction level to 2, then Danger development increases by 1 for every 3 Magic development points purchased per action.

Military

Conscription
set level of conscription (up to pop level) of selected social class
increase soldier limit by level, reduce soldier point cost by level
reduce point limit of all other hirelings by level, increase point cost of all hirelings by level
reduce Support selected social by 2 per level when increasing conscription level

Religion

Banned Religion: Select a religion and ban it from your realm. This religion does not gain any development points during the Build phase. Upon banning a religion, the Support score of all social classes are reduced by an amount equal to the religion's current level. The religion's current development remains, but no longer increases when growth conditions are met. Instead, development from its growth condition is added to Corruption development as its worship goes underground.

Succession

Designate a person who will assume the position of Ruler should the current Ruler is no longer able to fulfill her duties or steps down from the position.

Taxation

You can tax any of the following capital: Food, Goods, Magic, Materials, Wealth.
You set Taxes to each province.
When you set a tax on a capital, set its level. Add this tax level to the capital's consumption score.
During the Income phase, you gain 100 points of that capital per tax level from each province, and add them to your Treasury.
When you increase a tax level, reduce Support on all social classes by 2 for each level.
When you decrease a tax level, increase Support on all social classes by 1 for each level.

Population

Every 1,000 adult inhabitants increases a province's Population level by 1.
The realm Population level is equal to the sum of all provinces' Population levels.

Growth: A province's population grows during the Upkeep phase. By default, the Working-Class population increases by the province's Population level (minimum 1).

Increase growth by 1 for each Services and Supply capital has its level above its consumption.
Reduce growth by 1 for each Services and Supply capital that is overconsumed.
Reduce growth by half of the Population level when Borders edict is set to "closed".

Inhabitant Size: A province's inhabitant size is the creature size of the majority people. If two or more peoples have equal majorities, the inhabitant size is whichever is closest to Medium.

Inhabitant Base Level: A province's inhabitant base level is the base level of the majority people. If two or more peoples have equal majorities, the inhabitant base level is whichever is closest to 0.

Attitudes

Each social class of each province tracks their attitude scores separately.
To measure attitude scores on a realm level, add up all the scores from each province, and divide it by the realm Population level.

Morale

Morale is your population's willingness to take action, either for or against your government. Morale scales from 0 to 100. The starting Morale score of your province starts at 50.

Table: Morale Score and Levels

Score	Level	Description
0-20	Submissive	Your population fully obeys your government without questioning or resistance.
21-40	Resigned	Your population follows your government's policies, and while they may have questions or differing opinions, they are unwilling to act upon them.
41-60	Active	Your population is willing to voice their opinions and participate in the political process.
61-80	Willful	Your population is very active in the political process and is willing to use all legal means to voice their opinions and implement their desired policies.
81-100	Radical	Your population is willing to use extreme measures, even if illegal, to voice their opinions and implement their desired policies.

Support

How much of your population supports your government. Support scales from 0 to 100. The starting Support score of your province starts at 50.

Social Classes

The combined levels of all social classes must equal the province's Population level.
Each social class has their own support scores, each with their own effects.

Upper-Class

Inhabitants with enough authority, personal wealth, or power, or any combination thereof, that exert a tangible influence on the politics of the realm.

If the Upper-Class' Support is at least 60, you can reduce the Influence cost of Leadership actions in the province by up to the Upper-Class' level. If their Support is at least 80, you can reduce the Influence cost by up to twice the level. The action's Influence cost cannot be reduced to less than 1.
If the Upper-Class' Morale is greater than 60, add their score to Corruption development during the Upkeep phase. If their Morale is greater than 80, add twice their level instead.

Middle-Class

Inhabitants that are highly educated, possess specialized skills, or business owners.

If the Middle-Class' Morale is greater than 80, add their level to Corruption and Wealth development during the Upkeep phase.

Working-Class

Inhabitants that are unskilled or working in manual labor.

If the Working-Class' Morale is greater than 80 and their Support is 40 or less, add their level to Danger development during the Upkeep phase. If their Support is 20 or less, add twice their level instead.
If the Working-Class' Morale is greater than 80 and their Support is greater than 80, add their level to the development point limit of any capital that is limited by Laborers.

Underclass

Inhabitants that lack the basic needs, such as being poor and homeless.

If the Under-Class' Morale is greater than 80 and their Support is 60 or less, add their level to Danger development during the Upkeep phase. Add their level twice if their Support is 40 or less, and three times if it is 20 or less.

Economy

Capital Levels

Each province has their own set of capital levels.
Every 1,000 development points increases a capital's level by 1.

Consumption

A province's base consumption is equal to its Population level + its Middle-Class score + twice its Upper-Class score.

Hirelings

Hirelings levels determine the limit of how many development points can be bought per use of Develop Province action. If a capital lists two or more types of Hirelings, the highest level among them determines the point limit. The development point limit for Hirelings uses the Sages level.

Each time a Hireling aside from Laborers increases a level, move 100 people from the Working-Class to the Middle-Class. If the Working-Class population is at 0, remove 100 points from the Laborers' development instead.

Crafters are trained to craft a particular product. Examples of this hireling are alchemists, carpenters, leatherworkers, masons, and smiths. A typical carpenter has ranks in Climb, Craft (carpentry), Diplomacy, and Knowledge (engineering and local).

Laborers are anyone who can perform unskilled work.

Mages are any spellcasters that need a form of training to manifest magic with access to at least six tiers levels.

For every Mages development point added, increase Danger development by 1.

Performers are providers of entertainment, as actors, musicians, singers, and writers. A typical performer has ranks in Artistry and any Performance skills, and is equipped with instruments or tools to create their art.

Priests are any spellcasters who require belief in a greater power to manifest magic with access to at least six tiers levels.

Professionals are trained to provide a particular service beyond simple physical labor. Examples of this hireling are animal trainers, butlers, cooks, drivers, and merchants. Professionals rely on a specific Profession skill, backed up with relevant Knowledge or other skills.

Sages are people with extensive knowledge in one or more related areas who can advise you about their areas of expertise. A typical sage is a civilian with ranks each in skills such as Appraise, Knowledge, Linguistics, Profession, and Spellcraft.

Soldiers are trained in combat and have the means and will to kill your enemies, although they can also be used to provide security. They typically have a full base attack bonus progression.

Services

Comfort represents the services that improve the quality of life for your population, such as providing entertainment, stimulation, and making everyday chores much easier.

Comfort is consumed by the province's base consumption +its inhabitant size modifier.
When Comfort consumption is above its level, reduce Morale of all social classes by 1 for each level Comfort is below its consumption.
Each point added to Comfort development increases Corruption by 1.

Adverse Capital

Adverse capital levels are used as a percentage chance of an adverse event occurring during the Event phase. Every 100 levels triggers a guaranteed event, with the remainder being a chance percentage.

Blight represents the ruining and poisoning of the natural environment and its ecosystems.

Table: Blight Events

Chance	Event	Description

Table: Danger Events

Chance	Event	Description
	Bandit Activity	(Ongoing)
	Monster Attack	(Ongoing) One or a group of monsters attack the province. The GM picks a hex where the monster attack begins. The level of the encounter is randomly determined as a Wandering Encounter as per the Exploration and Movement rules. You can personally deal with the threat (earning XP and treasure normally for your efforts). Alternatively, you can use your armed forces. Roll 1d20 + the force's highest OM among its units (or EPL if using adventurers). If the result equals or exceeds 10 + the encounter's level, your forces eliminate the threat, earning XP for the encounter's level (divided by the force's number of troops). Even upon success, the unit receives damage equal to how much the encounter's level exceeds the highest unit level in the force divided by its number of units (minimum 1 damage). A natural 1 is not an automatic failure, but the amount of damage is doubled (minimum 2). A natural 20 is not an automatic success, but the amount of damage is halved (minimum 0). Failure represents that the unit is lost. If the threat is not defeated this turn, a random improvement is destroyed, Danger development increases by the threat's level, Support is reduced by the threat's level, and the monster attack continues in the same location next Event phase. If there are no more improvements or settlements in the hex, the monster attack causes the hex to be unclaimed, and the monster moves to an adjacent claimed hex.
	Vandals
	Feud
	Assassination Attempt
	Cult Activity
	Drug Den	A Drug Den improvement is established without your approval, taking up an improvement slot.
	Thieves' Guild	A Thieves' Guild improvement is established in a random settlement without your approval, taking up an improvement slot. If no settlement is present, replace this even with Bandit Activity.

Religions

Religion is provided by Priests and serves to connect the gods (and other higher powers) to the people.

Each religion has its own level. A religion's level cannot grow higher than the Population level.
A religion development point cost is equal to its level (minimum 1). Its point limit is equal to Priests level + Magic level.
Each time a religion gains a level, add 100 development points to Magic without adding to Danger.
Each religion has one or more natural growth conditions. If any of these conditions are met during the Build phase, the religion's development increases by an amount of points indicated in the condition that was met. Natural growth is limited by its point limit level times the number of weeks within a realm turn.
- In general, greater powers have at least three growth conditions, intermediate powers have two conditions, and lesser and weaker powers have just one.
Each religion is tagged with one or more descriptors that describe their portfolio. A religion also has a number of effects based on that deity's power.
- Effects of multiple religions stack, unless otherwise stated.
- In general, a greater deity has three effects in their portfolio, an intermediate deity has two, and a lesser deity or lower has one.
- At 7th level, a religion gains an additional effect, and another at 15th.
Some religions have adverse effects in their portfolio. Every adverse effect in their portfolio grants them a bonus beneficial effect in their portfolio that uses 10 times their level.

Provinces

Hexes

Hexes need to be surveyed by you or your units.
Unclaimed surveyed hexes can be claimed if they are adjacent to your realm.
Preparing a hex to establish a settlement requires Goods in the form of tools to shape the landscape and building materials to form the foundations that can be built upon.
The time it takes to complete the preparation depends on the level of Laborers you have available. Divide the cost of Goods by your Laborers level to determine how many months it will take to prepare the hex for settlement.
Each type of hex houses different levels of danger in the form of native creatures and environmental hazards. During the Upkeep phase, increase the province's Danger development by the total Danger modifiers of all of the province's hexes.

A province's Size Modifier is equal to +1 for every 10 hexes.

Settled hexes are within a provincial capital's support range. These hexes and all improvements within them are counted under the settlement's statistics. This way, the settlement's capital and hirelings can be used to fulfill the consumption of the improvements in those hexes.

Improvements in Unsettled hexes do not have any such support, and must rely on capital from caravans to meet their Consumption. Unsettled improvements that do not receive caravans on a monthly business are unable to function, and run the chance of falling into ruin.

Caravan Routes can be established starting from one settlement at the start of the month. A single caravan can supply multiple hexes, but its route must end at a settlement (either the one it started with or another one). At the start of the month, you need to calculate how much capital will need to supply the unsettled improvements and deduct them from the settlement. You then need to calculate the travel time of the caravan for its entire route, which cannot be longer than a month.

Resources

Unless otherwise stated, the effects of multiple sites of the same resource stack.
Caravans can be established to provide the benefits of a special resource to another province instead of the one it is in.
Upon scouting an unexplored hex, there is a 5% of a resource. If one is found, roll on the resource table for the explored terrain to determine what it is.

Adamantine appears in Cavernous and Mountain hexes. Increase Materials level limit by 4. Adamantine items are available in the province's settlement.
Aetherite appears in Cavernous and Mountain hexes. Increase Magic development limit by 2.

Settlements

Statistics

Districts: A settlement starts with 1 district. At 4th Population level, and every 4 levels after, the settlement's number of districts increases by 1. In Mass Combat, each district is a separate battlefield.

Reach: A settlement's reach is determined by how many hexes a settlement's inhabitant can travel within 4 hours. Hexes that are within a settlement's reach may fall under its control. If a hex is within reach of two or more settlements, you decide which settlement controls it.

Founding a Settlement

To found a settlement in an unsettled hex, you must send a caravan containing the capital and hirelings needed to prepare the hex and build the first structures. Deduct the caravan's supplies and hirelings from the starting settlement for the month that the caravan sets out. Calculate the travel time for the caravan from its starting settlement to its destination hex. The month that the caravan arrives at the destination hex is the starting month of the hex preparation phase. The caravan needs enough supplies for the hirelings to live long enough on the land until the first structures are built.

Hamlets

Hamlets are smaller settlements that depend on the provincial capital to fulfill its needs. Hamlets do not have a reach, and therefore do not increase the province's maximum size. However, hamlets can be used to place settlement improvements, allowing multiple instances of them in the same province. A hamlet's population is always half or less than the province's capital.

Improvements

A province can have a number of improvements up to its Population level. Unless otherwise stated, improvements can be taken only once per province with the exception of those with the "(Settlement)" tag. Settlement improvement can be taken once per settlement in the province unless otherwise stated.

Mythic Realm Options

Art of Terraformation

Upon taking this ability, select a province. Any mythic creature can use move earth as an at will spell-like ability (with the normal casting time) within any of the province's hexes, and can affect normal plants or stone in addition to dirt. As the wielder of this mythic ability, you can ignore the normal casting times and use this ability as a standard action. In addition, any mythic leader can reduce the time for the Cultivate Food and Resource Gathering leadership actions by a number of day equal to their tier as well as adding their 10 times their tier to the amount of capital gained.

When taking this ability a second time at 6th tier or higher, this ability can be used in all provinces.

Call to Mythic Arms

Upon selecting this ability, select a provincial capital. As a full action, you can spend a mythic point to raise a supernatural army in the capital. The army's level is equal to 1 + twice your tier, but its size and composition is up to you. The army comes with equipment worth Goods equal to 10 times its level, and has Magic capital equal to 10 times its level for magic items. Consumable goods like ammunition or potions are replenished whenever the army is resummoned. This army has no consumption except for equipment that you equip them with in addition to that which they are summoned with.

The summoned army is always loyal to you and never gains fatigue or loses morale. A damaged army can be dismissed and resummoned to be fully replenished, but you must wait one hour after dismissing to do so. If the army is destroyed, it can be resummoned 24 hours later.

The summoned army can be commanded by any mythic leader, but you are its ultimate commander. The army cannot leave its province, and is instantly dismissed when it crosses its borders, but it can be instantly resummoned back at the provincial capital.

When this ability is second time at 6th tier or higher and you are a realm leader, you can summon the army at any provincial capital of your realm. This army is not limited to provincial borders, but it cannot leave the realm.

The army can only be truly destroyed upon your death. When you are killed, the army is dismissed.

Doorways to Destiny

Upon taking this ability, select a provincial capital. A number of times per day equal to your tier, you can spend one hour searching for a Doorway to Destiny in the capital. Once the door has been found, you can open the door to a doorway in a different location, allowing you to instantly travel there upon walking through the doorway. You must have a reliable description of the location of the exit door (as per the greater teleport spell), but there is no limit to its distance from the settlement as long as it is on the same plane. If you do not open the enchanted door after it has been found, you have an hour to do so before the connection fades and the use is wasted. The connection is broken as soon as the door is closed on either end, even when done before the end of the effect's duration. This ability is a conjuration (teleportation) effect.

Once the door has been opened, a portal to the destination fills the door frame. The area of the entrance and exit doors can be seen through the portal as if the door physically opened to the other location. Viewing either doorway on the physical opposite side just shows the other side as normal with no portal. The portal remains open for a number of rounds equal to your tier; the portal immediately vanishes after this time has passed. You can spend one point of mythic power to extend the duration to one hour per tier. Travel through the connected doors is two-way, and any number of creatures can pass through.

The entrance and exit doorways must be functional doors (an intact physical door within a door frame), and both must be closed before the connection can be made. The exit door closes by itself when the connection is made; if it is obstructed from closing, the connection cannot be made, and the ability's use is wasted if it is not unblocked within one hour of finding the door. If the exit is obstructed from opening, the leader can attempt to push it open. Environmental and magical effects do not pass through the portal. The connection between doors continues to function even if one or both doors are moving.

You can suspend this ability as a free action, and all connections and open portals immediately cease functioning. You can resume the ability's function as a free action. At 3rd, 6th, and 9th tier, you can designate one additional creature who can use this ability, with each having their own uses per day equal to your tier. You can change your designates at will as a free action; any door opened by a designate immediately closes when they lose the ability.

When this ability is taken a second time at 6th tier or higher, you can search for a Doorway to Destiny in any of your provincial capitals.

Enchanted Door Keys

Aura strong conjuration; CL 13th; Price 30,000 gp; Weight —; Slot —; Quality expert

Description
The Doorways to Destiny ability normally allows a connection between doors to be formed from within the settlement or nation. However, once the ability has been bestowed, enchanted door keys can be crafted by the mythic leader granting the ability or her designates. These keys can be given to any other creature (although they are only useful if they have mythic power), and allow their user to use the Doorways to Destiny ability. The entrance door must have a keyhole, but the enchanted door key will automatically fit it. Upon inserting and turning the key, the user must spend a point of mythic power to activate its ability.

If the key is used within the settlement or nation with the Doorways to Destiny ability linked to the key, then the user can use the ability as if he was the mythic leader granting the ability (except they cannot suspend or reactivate the ability or designate other creatures who can use this ability). The key also allows the ability to be used outside of the linked settlement or nation to form a portal to a door within it. The key can be retrieved after opening the door.

Construction Requirements
Feats Craft Wondrous Item, Mythic Crafter; Spells greater teleport; Cost 15,000 gp

Lap of Luxury

Upon taking this ability, select a province. Its land and its inhabitants are blessed with immense prosperity. Increase the development point limit for all Service and Supplies capital by 10 times your mythic tier, and reduce their development point cost by the same amount (to a minimum of 1). In addition, any creature that has lived at least one month in the capital's province can cast heroes' feast as a spell-like ability once per week using your mythic tier as the casting tier.

When taking this ability against at 6th tier or higher, all provinces of your realm gain these effects.

Nexus of Knowledge

Upon taking this ability, select a province. Its capital contains a renowned repository of knowledge. The source might take many forms, from ever-growing stacks with all human dreams written upon the pages or endless crystalline memories of a lost civilization. The settlement’s knowledge covers all specific Knowledge skill types, allowing any creature within to make untrained Knowledge checks with a DC higher than 10 (with 1d4 hours of research). Mythic characters or creatures add a bonus to all Knowledge checks equal to their mythic rank when researching within the settlement.

Any creature that has lived in the province for at least one month can cast legend lore as a spell-like ability once per month, except the casting time is as normal for the spell. The creature is always treated as if they possess detailed information on the person, place, or thing being researched (casting time of 1d10 days).

Increase the development point limit and reduce the point cost for Sages by 10 times your mythic tier.

When taking this ability a second time at 6th tier or higher, its effects apply to all provinces and their capitals of your realm.

Armies

Units

Units are the components of an army. Each unit is composed of soldiers of the same lineage traits, the same talents, and the same level.

Unit Leader

Size

A unit's size refers to its number of troops.

Table: Army Unit Sizes

Designation	Number of Soldiers	Size Modifier
Solo*	1	+0
Squad	2-10	+1
Platoon	11-50	+2
Company	51-200	+4
Battalion	201-500	+8
Regiment	501-2,000	+16
Brigade	2,001-5,000	+32
Legion	5,001-10,000	+64
Corps	10,001-25,000	+128
Army	25,001-50,000	+256

Consumption

Food: A unit's Food consumption is equal to its size modifier + its size modifier. Failure to pay Food consumption increases the unit's Fatigue and Morale DCs by 5.

Goods: A unit's Good consumption depends on what equipment it is equipped with which generally scales with its size modifier. Failure to pay Goods consumption means that certain equipment can no longer be used.

Wealth: A unit must be paid Wealth equal to its size modifier for each of its levels. Failure to pay Wealth consumption increases the unit's Morale DC by 10.

Garrisoned: A unit that is in a hex with enough garrison capacity for it is considered to be garrisoned, meaning it can acquire food and shelter as any other inhabitant. The unit only needs to be in the appropriate hex by the time the Upkeep phase comes around; it can travel freely any time before then. A garrisoned unit needs only its Wealth consumption paid during the Upkeep phase.

Deployed: A unit that is not in a hex with enough garrison capacity for its size is considered to be deployed. A deployed unit's consumption increases to Food and Goods in addition to Wealth, which must be paid with supplies it is carrying.

Military Capacity

Your realm can maintain a number of units without any additional costs as long as the sum total of their size modifiers do not exceed your realm's total Population level. Exceeding the Population level does not prevent you from creating and maintaining more units. However, doing so increases your government upkeep costs by an amount of Wealth equal to how much the total size modifiers of all of your units exceed your realm's Population level, in addition to their base costs. The point limit of all hirelings except for Soldiers is reduced by the same amount. If your Development edict is set to "Free", reduce the percentage of Wealth allotted to developing hirelings except for Soldiers by the same amount.

The Battlefield

Mass combat takes place on a battlefield covering an entire hex, and it is split into different zones.
Each separate side involved in the battle has the same set of zones.

Engagement Zones

These are listed below, starting from furthest away from the center of the battle, to the nearest.

Camp: This represents an army’s base of operations, which may be a temporary bivouac or a permanent fortification. Goods and limited use Magic capital are stored here. Units must enter this zone to resupply on capital.
Command: This is the area where the army’s leader directs the flow of battle. The army's leader must be at least this far in order to issue commands to the rest of the army in the Rear and Front zones.
Rear: This represents the back lines of an army on the field, with forces usually arrayed to engage in ranged combat.
Front: This represents the front lines of any battle, where forces meet in close and brutal combat.

It is easier to visualize these zones as concentric circles with an army's Camp zone at the center. Each army has their own set of engagement zones, and if you want your forces to reach the enemy's Command zone, you must advance your army through your own Front zone into the enemy's Front zone, then through their Rear zone, and finally into their Command zone.
A unit that is within an army's Front zone (including its own army) can advance into the Front zone of any other army on the field of battle. However, if the unit moves deeper in such as the Rear or Command zones, it cannot move to another army's zone until it returns to the Front zone of the army it is in.
At the beginning of the battle, unless otherwise stated, all units begin either in the Camp, Command, or Rear zones, as decided by the army commander.

Lateral Zones

In addition to the forward and rear battle zones, the battlefield is laterally split along three columns: the left and right flanks on either side, and the center column in the middle.

Left Flank: Your army's left flank is opposed by the enemy army's right.
Center Column: The middle area of your army and is opposed by the enemy's center column
Right Flank: Your army's right flank is opposed by the enemy's left.

Altitude Zones

Similar to engagement zones, altitude zones are areas of the battlefield on a vertical axis, either above or below the surface. These zones exist only in relation to the standard ground or naval battle; battles that occur solely in the air or under water use only the standard battle zones and special elevation rules.
Seafloor: This is a special depth zone that applies whenever there is a submerged structure or terrain that is relevant to the course of a battle. The Seafloor can exist in the Abyssal, Deep or Shallow zones, depending on the depth of the water. A battle on the Seafloor works similarly to a second Surface depth level, in that creatures on the Seafloor and creatures in the adjoining Shallows or Deep can engage in ranged combat but cannot engage in melee unless either the swimming creatures come down to the Seafloor or the creatures on the Seafloor leave it and swim up into the open water.
Deep: Units in this depth zone cannot effectively see units on the surface or be seen by them, and are too far away to effectively attack or be attacked by them.
Shallow: Units in this depth zone are beyond the reach of melee attacks, except by other creatures that are also swimming in the shallows. However, they can still see creatures and vessels on the surface and can be seen themselves, though with some difficulty. Creatures in the shallows can attack with or be attacked by ranged attacks, though such attacks are made at a substantial penalty.
Surface: The zone represents the stable area that divides between the depths and altitudes, being either solid ground or the surface of water. Units in this zone are neither flying nor burrowing or diving, though they may be swimming upon the surface.
Low Altitude: Units in this altitude zone are well out of range of melee attacks but can attack with (and be attacked by) ordinary ranged attacks. Aerial units can attack at this range with dropped items with reasonable accuracy.
Medium Altitude: Units in this altitude zone fly on the fringes of the battle zone, able to attack with (and be attacked by) siege weapons, but otherwise out of reach of standard ranged attacks. Aerial units at this altitude can attack ground units with dropped items but with Disadvantage.
High Altitude: Units in this altitude zone are too far away to effectively attack units on the ground or be attacked by them.

Sequence

Each round of a battle lasts 1 hour, and is split into several phases.

Tactical Phase—At the start of each round of battle, the army commander can shift the overall strategy that all forces under her command will follow (see Strategy below).
- Boons: The army commander and each unit leader can decide which boon to make active (see Boons below). These choices must be made bfore tactical initiative is determined.
- Tactics: Each unit leader can decide what special tactics their unit will use to implement that strategy (see Tactics below). These choices must be made before tactical initiative is determined.
- Tactical Initiative: Each commander rolls a Leadership check, and whichever commander rolls lowest on their check must reveal their strategy first. A commander with a higher check can change his strategy in response to his opponent’s, though moving strategy more than one step on Table: Strategy requires a Morale check to perform smoothly.
  - In addition to forcing his enemy to reveal his strategy first, if one commander’s check exceeds his opponent’s by 5 or more, he can either force his enemy to reveal one tactic or he can change one of his own unit’s tactics for every 5 points by which his check exceeds his opponent’s. The commander can choose which unit he wishes to learn about; if that unit has more than one tactic available, it must reveal the tactic it is using during this Action phase. Regardless of the result of your check, you can reveal only one tactic per enemy unit or change one tactic for each of your units; any excess is lost. Command boons and creature special abilities are not revealed by winning tactical initiative.
  - The commander in charge of each army rolls for the tactical initiative; the individual unit leaders do not. The commander that wins tactical initiative selects one unit to act during the Action phase, followed by the enemy selecting one unit to act. Actions alternate from each commander until all units have acted. If one side has more units than the other, when one side runs out of units to attack taking turns with its opponent, any leftover units from the larger army act in succession until all have acted.
- Action Phase—During this phase, each army commander chooses one unit to act in turn in the order determined by the Tactical Initiative. Army units have 2 acts to spend for battle actions. See Actions for a list of actions a unit can execute. Keep track of how many Casualties each unit receives, but do not deduct them from the unit's section just yet.
- Casualties Phase—After resolving Action phase for the round, each unit deducts their Casualties from their sections. The unit leader makes a Leadership check with the DC equal to 10 + the total number of casualties received; a successful check allows the leader to divide the damage between two sections, plus one additional section for every 5 above the DC (up to a total of 5 sections). You must apply the damage to the section with the lowest hp, then the second-lowest, and so on. Healing is applied during this phase, with sections being healed in order of highest to lowest. Healing spills over from section to section. Sections that remain at 0 hp by the end of this phase are considered to be killed, and cannot be healed. Units with all of their sections reduced to 0 are defeated (see Defeated, Destroyed, Disbanded below).
- Rout Phase—Each undefeated unit makes a Morale check to determine if it becomes fatigued and if it still has the will to fight; defeated units are automatically fatigue and routing. The Fatigue DC starts at 10, and increases by 5 for every hour the unit has been on the battlefield (see Fatigue below). The Rout DC starts at 10 plus 5 for each allied unit that has been defeated, destroyed, disbanded, or routed from the field. If this check succeeds, the unit continues to fight. If the check fails, the unit’s Morale score is reduced by 1d4. If this reduces the unit’s Morale to -11, the unit's leader must make a DC 10 Morale check. If successful, the unit remains intact with its Morale reset to -10 and the unit routs, fleeing from the battlefield. If that check fails, the unit disbands. A cumulative -2 penalty applies to the Leadership check each time the unit's Morale reaches -11 or lower during the battle.
  - Routed Units: A routed unit is forced to flee the battlefield and cannot attack. The routed unit can no longer use the Melee or Ranged Attack actions, and must do whatever it can to use the Retreat action. When using the Disengage or Retreat action, and the routed unit fails its Morale check for those actions, the free attack from the enemy unit gains a +1 bonus for every 10 feet of movement speed that the attacking unit has over the routing unit, and -1 penalty for every 10 feet below (making it advantageous to use cavalry or other fast units to attack routing units).
  - Mercenaries: When a mercenary army’s Morale drops to -10 or lower or when they have lost more than half of their sections, they must make a Morale check to avoid routing. A nation takes no penalties when a mercenary army disbands or is destroyed.

Tactics

Factions

Creating a Faction

Size represents roughly how many members belong to it, as well as the breadth of its impact. Your faction starts at size 0, and increases by 1 for every 1,000 members. Other modifiers not tied to member count can increase or decrease your size.

Goal

All factions have a goal that they work towards.
political
economical
military

Capital

Capital are resources and services that can be invested into assets or expended for operations.

Comfort: attracts recruits and retains members
Food:
Goods: buildings, equipment, and tools possessed by the faction, used by members and in operations
Influence: favours and negotiation strength with the public
Magic: helps with all other capital
Materials: raw materials that can be crafted into goods or used as reagents
Security: protects the faction and fights its foes
Wealth: pays members and upkeep, buys supplies for the faction, funds operations

Capacity is the maximum amount of all combined capital your faction can carry. Your faction has a base capacity equal to the total number of levels of your members. This represents the amount and quality of capital each member is carrying on their person. Assets with the storage feature allow your faction to increase its capacity.

Hirelings

Crafters
Laborers
Mages
Performers
Priests
Professionals
Sages
Scoundrels
Soldiers

Officers

You can assign individual faction members as officers. Officers can perform Operations using their statistics.
Each officer increases upkeep costs by their level (in addition to their base faction member upkeep).

Secrecy

Public

Upkeep

Each faction member increases your monthly upkeep costs by 1 Wealth point per level.

Assets

Assets allow your faction for perform Operations.
To acquire an asset, you invest at least the asset's minimum cost from your capital into it.
Hireling minimum can be met by combining the amount of levels of your hirelings. For example, if the hireling minimum is Crafters 5th, you can meet the minimum by investing one 5th-level crafter, five 1st-level crafters, or two 2nd-level crafters and one 1st-level crafter.

A hireling check in asset operations requires a faction officer to roll 1d20 + that hireling's levels invested in the asset. For example, if you invested 15 levels of Crafters from your faction's total of 100 Crafters' levels in your asset, if an operation requires you to make a Crafters check, you roll 1d20 + 15. The officer gains a bonus on the check based on their proficiency in Profession ()

Every 10 points of any combination of capital invested in an asset allows for 1 level of hirelings of any combination to be invested in it as well.
