Cossacks estates

Estates

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

Cossacks[edit | edit source]

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.

Conditions:

Does not use other mechanics
Is not nomad
Does not have Celestial Empire government reform
Is Christian
Has Eastern technology group
Has at least 1 province with steppe terrain

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

+10% Has at least 10 provinces 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

They gain twice as much influence from land share (1:1 ratio).

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 land has been seized, Cossack rebels may rise in revolt in a few provinces.

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

Dhimmi[edit | edit source]

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.

Conditions:

Does not use other mechanics
Is not nomad
Does not have Celestial Empire government reform
Is Muslim
Does not have Brahmins estate
Does not use Western technology group

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

They gain half as much influence from land share (0.25:1 ratio).

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 land has been seized, Particularist rebels may 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

Tribes[edit | edit source]

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.

Conditions:

Does not use other mechanics
Is nomad
Does not have Celestial Empire government reform

Influence – The estate has a base influence of 25%. The Tribes only receive 40% of the normal influence from land share (0.2:1 ratio).

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 land has been seized, Tribal rebels will rise in revolt in a few provinces.

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.
