Other Features

Regions

The Campaign Maps in Napoleon Total War (like in previous games of the series) are divided in regions. Each region has a region capital.The region capital indicates the economical and population center of the region. The player can improve the whole regions income (income depends on the buidings of the region, the region's wealth and taxes) by constracting new buildings. There are many types of buildings available, like military buildings, entertaintment buildings, economical buildings, forts etc. Units are recruited from the region capital. The type and amount of units available depends on the level of the military building that has been constracted. Except from the region capital, there are other other kind of settlements, that can (if a specific amount of population is reached) be upgraded to ports, trade posts, schools and universities, supply posts etc. If the region capital is captured, or in any way transfered, the whole region changes ownership to the faction than has aquired it. When the region is under attack, an extra number of soldiers (the militia) will appear to assist the garrisoned army (if there is any). If the region has fortification, like forts and star forts, the battle will be a siege.
