Culture orientation[]

Expansionist culture icon Expansionist cultures favor a gameplay orientation focused on Empire expansion, not necessarily through war.

These cultures gain extra Fame from Expansionist Era Stars for claiming Territories.

Affinity Action: Under One Banner[]

Can forcibly annex Territories occupied by other Empire's Outposts and Administrative Centers.

  • For annexing, you need to move an Army to stand on another Empire's Outpost or Administrative Center.
  • The process will take the Army a few turns, cost a sum of Money, and can be interrupted when someone attacking the annexing Army.
  • You cannot trigger multiple annexations at the same time, and will need to wait a few turns after each successful annexation before using this Affinity Action again.
  • Territories held by your Allies cannot be annexed.

Affinity Bonus: Ambition[]

Can always trespass due to Expansionist affinity.
