Within the feudal world, power is often associate with the amount of land one controls. It is in the interest of every realm to expand its territory allowing a larger population and accomodating for a more powerful standing army

There are currently two ways for a realm to expand its borders. Firstly through means of exploration and secondarly through a more hostile means of invasion.

Exploration : For a sacrifice of militia and royal crowns, you can send expeditions to find unchartered lands to take under your control. While this is the only non-hostile means of obtaining land, it can quite often be an expensive means of growth as the game processes.

Invasion : By using your military, you can order an invasion and conquer land from your opponents territory. However, military casualties will be experienced on both sides and there may be a chance of a retaliation by your opponent to take the land back. The success of this method requires a strong, well planned and developed military
