The first of these requires the players to cater to their citizens’ needs, increase the empire’s income, etc. The second aspect deals with discovering and colonization of new territories. The third one allows players to invent new military, naval and architectural technologies. The last aspect is necessary in order to ensure peace and security over the empire.
