MegaCorp
MegaCorp builds an entirely new economic system around the “corporation” government type, running on trade value and branch offices — a fundamentally different logic from standard territorial expansion.
What’s actually in it
Branch offices let you establish a foothold inside another empire’s territory and profit there, even without going to war — a dimension of play that simply didn’t exist before this expansion. Pair this with our MegaCorp trade build for a more concrete sense of how the system plays out.
Who should buy this
Players interested in economy- or trade-focused gameplay will find this refreshing. If your preference leans toward classic territorial expansion and military conflict, you can put this expansion further down the list.
What's Included
- Adds the MegaCorp government type and branch office mechanics

Pros
- The trade playstyle offers a genuinely distinct new experience
- Branch offices make 'profit without conquest' a viable strategy
Cons
- Limited value for players who never try the corporate playstyle
Is It Worth It?
Worth prioritizing if you want an economic playstyle fundamentally different from standard expansion. If you exclusively play traditional expansion builds and budget is tight, this can wait behind other core expansions.
