--------------Major Mechanics--------------

1. Agony System
- scale that tracks faction agony
- low agony if no/passive war
- medium (sweet spot) agony if winning wars
- high agony if fighting wars but loosing

- low agony provides civil buffs (e.g. reduced cost of civil buildings)
- medium agony provides military buffs (e.g. improved moral)
- high agony provides debuffs (e.g. public order penalty)
ㅤ
2. Spoils of War
- each army/settlement holds % of overall faction wealth
- defeating an army moves its % of faction wealth to the winning side
ㅤ
3. Regional Recruitment
- major playable faction capitals (16/24 done) provide unique faction units to foreign faction that occupies that settlement
ㅤ
4. Population System
- each region adds to a province overall population
- population increases based on region growth value
- population decreases on recruitment (based of default unit size values)
- each region population is capped based on settlement level (500 pop per level)
- recruitment slots in a province are unlocked per 500 pop (based of highest settlement level in province)
ㅤ
5. Migration System
- population can migrate between neighbouring regions
- migration population is slowly assimilated into citizen
- migrants add to population required for recruitment
- migrants add negative effects if relatively high compared to citizen
- population migrates from low public order regions to high public order regions
- population is less likely to migrate off of regions with high local influence
ㅤ
6. Greek Calendar
- each turn represents one month of a 12-month calendar
- the year is split into 4 seasons
- each season can be 1-5 month long

- food that is not used up within a year will expire
- mild visual effect based of season and severity on campaign and battle maps
ㅤ
7. Re-Emerging Factions + Faction based rebellions
- rebels are now always based of a faction from a fitting region
- each major and minor faction can re-emerge through rebellions
- re-emerging factions retain their generals (e.g. Achilles can come back when he re-emerged [if he did not die before])
- most factions can now liberate other factions as an "occupation" option
ㅤ
8. Vassal System for Horde
- Hordes vassal weakened enemy factions to gain % of their food production
- to vassal a faction, the player needs to weaken the target and raze&enslave the target's capital
- as a vassal regains strength, it will increase the chance of breaking off the Horde faction
