COMPUTEDImmortal Empires, as the game starts it. Game's rating is the difficulty the faction-select screen gives the lord (frontend_faction_leaders.difficulty) — the game rates only some lords, mostly Warhammer III's own. Regions are those owned on turn one (start_pos_regions); a faction with none starts with only its army. Neighbours are other factions (AI ones too) whose starting capital lies within 4% or 10% of the map's width of this one's, measured on the game's minimap. Climates: how many of the 12 climates the game rates Suitable for it (climate). Resources: in its starting regions, from the start position. Not a tier list: a crowded start can be easy for a strong faction — these are the facts the game sets up.
