Metropolitan Government Policies

📌 Metropolitan Government Policies/Reforms

Metropolitan Government Reforms expands the depth of late-game government management by linking the strength of a nation’s bureaucracy to the development of its capital city.

Instead of treating the capital as just another province, this mod turns it into the political heart of the nation, unlocking new layers of reforms as the capital grows from City → Metropolis → Megalopolis.

🔹 New Reforms Included

B-Tier: Military Schools, Commercial Chambers,Subject Integration Bureau, Temple of Authority, High Court Inspectors, Economic Syndicates, War Directorate

C-Tier: Metropolitan Strategic HQ, Council of Great Houses, Global Trade Hub, Academic Consortium, Urban Planning Authority, Treasury Secretariat

D-Tier: Imperial Legions Doctrine, World Trade Directorate, Cultural Hegemony Edict, Imperial Central Authority, Megalopolis Economic Overdrive, City of Cities Charter

🏛 What this mod adds

A fully structured government reform progression based on the rank of your capital:

Reform Tier Requirement Count
Tier B Always available 7
Tier C Capital must be Metropolis 6
Tier D Capital must be Megalopolis 6

All reforms are carefully balanced — strong bonuses come with meaningful trade-offs, just like in vanilla.

🔑 Capital Progression Requirement

Only the C-Tier (Metropolis) and D-Tier (Megalopolis) reforms require a capital of that rank.

All A-Tier and B-Tier reforms work exactly like vanilla reforms and can be selected regardless of capital rank.

In short:

You do not need a Metropolis or Megalopolis to enjoy the mod —
but the stronger reforms are earned by developing your capital.
