Colony level

This article is accurate for the latest versions of EU3, Napoleon’s Ambition, In Nomine, Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind.

Colony level represent the stage of development of a colony, ranging from 0 (starting colony) to an almost full-fledged city (9). It depends on the number of colonists as determined by this table:

# of colonists	colony level
0-99	0
100-199	1
200-299	2
300-399	3
400-499	4
500-599	5
600-699	6
700-799	7
800-899	8
900-999	9

Effects of level

Seizing or burning a colony gives you 10% of its level as a reputation penalty. Thus, seizing a level 6 colony gives 0.6 reputation. In In Nomine, a colony's trade good is assigned some time after it reaches level 3.

Notes

Note that this can be described mathematically by: colony level=floor(# of colonists/100)
