Loyalty

Loyalty is the measure of a population's obedience to the player's government.

Factors affecting loyalty

• Loyalty is assigned for territories during map/scenario creation
• Loyalty does not change except in cases of of Unification votes

Effects of loyalty

• Production efficiency
  • Newly-captured territory is 67% as productive as regular territory
• Partisans may appear in the territories of countries that have not been eliminated

Loyalty in Map Design

• Loyalty is painted into the base map (MAPX) file
• In most cases, loyalty and ownership are identical
  • Exceptions:
  • Palestine
  • Kurdistan

Cache Creation Considerations:

• When regions are grouped, both ownership and loyalty are grouped into the 'parent' region
• To prevent loyalty grouping, the regions must not be grouped as part of the CVP/REGIONINCL files. Instead, a Day 0 scripted event must be added to surrender the region, excluding loyalty, to the parent region.
  • Examples:
  • South Ossetia / Abkhazia
