Founding a Corporation

A Corporation requires some conditions be met before founding:

• The Corporation technology
• A secondary technology
• A Great Person specific to that Corporation
• That you are not using either the State Property or Mercantilism civics
• Access to at least one of the resources consumed by the corporation

When these conditions are met, a Great Person can move to a city and build the corresponding Corporation Headquarters.

Spreading a Corporation

Each city with a corporation present can build Corporate Executives. These units act like Missionaries, and require a lump sum of gold to spread their respective Corporation into a city. The city then receives all benefits (and demerits) of the corporation, and the ability to build more Corporate Executives. However, competing Corporations cannot be built in the same city.

Competing Corporations

This table shows which corporations compete with each other. Before founding a corporation you may want to check that it doesn’t compete with another corporation you might be interested in.
