Welcome to TEQ
TEQ is about making money and getting net worth. This can be achieved by finding your optimal balance between production, trade and warfare.

Choose your Strategy
You are now in the Territories page. This page manages your land. Choosing a strategy starts with choosing a purpose of your land. Have a look at all the territory types, but do not assign your 100 Territories yet. We first have to optimize our government to fit our strategy, before we start building (and use turns.) There are basically two approaches:

Be a self fulfilling country and assign your land to all different territory types. This is very safe since you're not depending on market or succesful attacks, but is not very efficient.
Specialize in a certain trade and buy or win (through warring) the everything else that you need. This will get you bigger gains, but you won't make friends.

When you have decided what strategy to play, you can adjust the tax rate, the production ratio's of your factories and the barrack training ratio's.

Finally you have decided what strategy to play, you can now adjust your profile to fit that strategy. To do this, click the View/Edit Profile button or "Next page" of this tutorial.

Now your countries government has been taken care of you can safely start building your territo

Each turn, all buildings on your territories will produce what they can produce, your taxes will be earned, and your population army will consume food.

In this page you can adjust your strategy profile. You can define here where you want to be good at and get some bonus gains. To get these bonus gains, you've to reduce your gains on other items (so you well have a negative bonus).

To make it easier for you, we predefined some template profiles for some well known strategies. You can always decide to pick on of the templates.

You cannot make unlimited changes to your profile. The number of profile changes left is displayed on the page.
