Territories

The map in History is broken up into many different territories in which dwell certain peoples who are ruled by a certain type of ruler, whether it be a King, Chief or Queen. One can obtain a territory by conquering it, once conquered it becomes one of your provinces. Territories are designed the way they are based on historical geography and the territories population.

Religion

In Out of Eden (which takes place between 4000 and 2000 BC) most territories have a pagan religion, which as far as the game's concerned is any religion that is not a major religion such as Hinduism, Judaism or Zoroastrianism. In out of Eden there are 24 religions all of which are pagan with the exception of Hinduism and "Early Monotheism." Early monotheism only comes into the game should the player select it as their state religion. Religion impacts how much other territories like your provinc(es); it goes up by 5 for the same religion.

There are the religions (provi nces who start with them are in brackets.):

Hinduism (Nepal, Northern India, Southern India and Sri Lanka.)
Egyptian paganism (Lower and Upper Egypt)
Canaanite paganism (Canaan and Phoenicia)
Mesopotamian paganism (Northern Mesopotamia and Southern Mesopotamia.)
Arabian paganism (Arabia)

Conquest:

If a territory should rebel or is given approval to be separate it will if tribal remain the religion of the empire, if it isn't it may convert back to the pre-conquest religion.

In future versions of the game religion will play a more major role in the game.
