Estates

The estates below are available mostly to nations with access to the Steppes or those in the Muslim world.

Cossacks[edit]

The Cossacks are the free people of the Steppes. Their background varies, some have been born on the grasslands while others are escaped serfs from the great latifundia that border the wild fields. Great raiders and hardy settlers, the Cossacks aspire to be recognized as an estate of the same importance as the Nobility and to strike down at anyone who would attempt to limit their freedom.

This estate is only available to Christian nations in the Eastern tech group. They gain twice as much influence from land share (1:1 ratio).

Influence – The estate has a base influence of 0%, modified by:

+10% Has at least 10 provinces and at least one with Steppe terrain
−40% If the Nobility, the Clergy, the Burghers, the Jains, the Brahmins or the Vaishyas estate has seized control of the nation

Loyalty – The estate's loyalty equilibrium is modified by:

+10% For Corruption at 100% (scaled)
-5% to +5% with current Prestige
−20% If the Nobility, the Clergy, the Burghers, the Jains, the Brahmins or the Vaishyas estate has seized control of the nation

Rebels: If the Cossacks are disloyal after a privilege is revoked, Cossack rebels will rise in revolt.

Disaster: If the Cossacks estate reaches 100 influence, their estate disaster will begin ticking and - unless lowered - will eventually trigger the Cossack Independence disaster.

The Cossacks nationwide modifiers are as follows:

Cossacks	Influence 0-19	Influence 20-39	Influence 40-59	Influence 60-100
Loyalty 0-29	−2.5% Cavalry combat ability +5% Cavalry cost +0.5 National Unrest	−5% Cavalry combat ability +10% Cavalry cost +1 National Unrest	−7.5% Cavalry combat ability +15% Cavalry cost +1.5 National Unrest	−10% Cavalry combat ability +20% Cavalry cost +2 National Unrest

Dhimmi[edit]

Originally a term reserved for Christians and Jews the Dhimmi are the non-Muslim subjects in a Muslim realm. Their status and privileges can vary greatly between different states as do both their organization and numbers. Traditionally it is the responsibility of a just ruler to protect these people while keeping them apart from the Muslim majority. These principles are not always as easy to keep in parts of the world where the Dhimmi may constitute the majority of the population themselves however.

The Dhimmi estate is only available to Muslim nations that are not in the Western tech group that do not have access to the Brahmins. They gain half as much influence from land share (0.25:1 ratio).

Influence – The estate has a base influence of 0%, modified by:

+20% Has a non-Muslim dominant religion
+10% Has a province with non-Muslim religion
−40% If the Nobility, the Clergy, the Burghers, the Jains, the Brahmins or the Vaishyas estate has seized control of the nation

Loyalty – The estate's loyalty equilibrium is modified by:

+10% Has completed the Humanist idea group
+10% While not being at war with heathens
+10% For Corruption at 100% (scaled)
-5% to +5% with current Prestige
-10% to +10% with current Piety (inversely proportional)
−20% If the Nobility, the Clergy, the Burghers, the Jains, the Brahmins or the Vaishyas estate has seized control of the nation

Rebels: If the Dhimmi are disloyal after a privilege is revoked, Zealot rebels of the province's religion will rise in revolt in a few provinces.

Disaster: If the Dhimmi estate reaches 100 influence, their estate disaster will begin ticking and - unless lowered - will eventually trigger the Dhimmi Independence disaster.

The Dhimmi nationwide modifiers are as follows:

Dhimmi	Influence 0-19	Influence 20-39	Influence 40-59	Influence 60-100
Loyalty 0-29	−0.25 Tolerance of heathens +2.5% Technology cost +0.5 National unrest	−0.5 Tolerance of heathens +5% Technology cost +1 National unrest	−0.75 Tolerance of heathens +7.5% Technology cost +1.5 National unrest	−1 Tolerance of heathens +10% Technology cost +2 National unrest
Loyalty 30-59	+0.5 Tolerance of heathens	+1 Tolerance of heathens	+1.5 Tolerance of heathens	+2 Tolerance of heathens
Loyalty 60-100	+0.5 Tolerance of heathens −2.5% Technology cost	+1 Tolerance of heathens −5% Technology cost	+1.5 Tolerance of heathens −7.5% Technology cost	+2 Tolerance of heathens −10% Technology cost

Tribes[edit]

The ruler of a nomad realm must always strive to keep control over the many tribes that make up his lands. As there are no strong or permanent institutions in the same way as in many sedentary states the tribes are the primary source of authority and acts as everything from tax collectors to soldiers or raiders. While the Tribes consider the ruler of their state the foremost of them they expect to be given large land areas to feed their horses and support their lifestyles as well as to be granted influence over most of the day-to-day matters of the state.

The Tribes estate is only available to Steppe Nomads and is the only estate available for them. The Tribes only receive 40% of the normal influence from land share (0.2:1 ratio).

Influence – The estate has a base influence of 25%.

Loyalty – The estate's loyalty equilibrium is modified by:

+10% For Corruption at 100% (scaled)
-5% to +5% with current Prestige
-2.5% to +2.5% with current Horde Unity

Rebels: If the Tribes are disloyal after a privilege is revoked, Tribal rebels will rise in revolt in that province.

Disaster: If the Tribes estate reaches 100 influence, their estate disaster will begin ticking and - unless lowered - will eventually trigger the Dominance of the Tribes disaster.

The Tribes nationwide modifiers are as follows:

Tribes	Influence 0-19	Influence 20-39	Influence 40-59	Influence 60-100
Loyalty 0-29	−10% Manpower recovery speed −1 Yearly horde unity −25% Razing power gain +0.5 National Unrest	−20% Manpower recovery speed −2 Yearly horde unity −50% Razing power gain +1 National Unrest	−30% Manpower recovery speed −3 Yearly horde unity −75% Razing power gain +1.5 National Unrest	−40% Manpower recovery speed −4 Yearly horde unity −100% Razing power gain +2 National Unrest

Privileges[edit]
