== Opening National Strategies in Terra Invicta ==

Thanks to Graveless Gaming for this summary of his related video.

This article compares the three main starting nations in [[Terra Invicta]] and provides recommendations for new and experienced players.

=== Overview of Starting Nations ===

==== United States ====

The [[United States]] offers the strongest early-game advantages, primarily due to its exceptional [[Research]] output.

'''Advantages:'''
* Highest [[Research]] output of all starting nations
* Excellent research-to-[[Control Point|CP]] ratio due to wealth and education
* Strong starting [[Military]] capable of defending interests until approximately 2030
* High initial [[Boost]] capacity

'''Disadvantages:'''
* Requires significant internal fixing:
** High [[Inequality]] requiring extensive [[Welfare]] investment
** Relies on declaring/undeclaring wars for temporary [[Cohesion]] boosts
* Poor scaling into mid and late game
* Limited population (339 million) compared to other starting options
* Maximum [[Mission Control|MC]] capacity of only 99 for extended period
* Expansion includes [[Mexico]], which has severe problems (high inequality, [[Democracy|Anocracy]], poor economy)

'''Advanced Strategy Note:'''
* For [[Jupiter Rush]] strategies, focus exclusively on [[Knowledge]] to reach Education 12 faster
* This approach worsens inequality-related problems but accelerates research gains

==== European Union ====

The [[European Union]] excels in the mid-game phase with balanced capabilities.

'''Advantages:'''
* Superior mid-game scaling
* High potential [[Mission Control]] (approximately 130 with average starting stats)
* Combined population of approximately 550 million
* Better starting government than US
* Eventually gains claims on [[Russia]], [[Turkey]], and more of Europe

'''Disadvantages:'''
* Worst initial [[Research]] output (50-75% lower than US)
* Slower early-game development
* [[Boost]] resources are geographically scattered

==== China ====

[[China]] offers unmatched late-game potential with some early-game challenges.

'''Advantages:'''
* Massive starting population (1.4 billion)
* Unrivaled late-game scaling potential
* GDP of 27 trillion (compared to US at 22 trillion)
* Can expand to include high-quality nations like [[Japan]], [[South Korea]], and [[Malaysia]]
* Additional claims on [[Thailand]], [[Vietnam]], [[Myanmar]], [[Taiwan]], and others
* Most expansion targets are in better condition than the US's Mexico

'''Disadvantages:'''
* Requires time and [[Persuasion]] investment to capture (around 13 Basic Persuasion)
* Slower access to research benefits
* Takes longer to reach peak potential

=== Strategic Recommendations ===

==== For New Players ====
'''Recommended Start: [[China]]'''
* Takes longer to secure but acquisition is almost guaranteed
* Massive mid and late-game scaling potential
* Better suited for longer games (2060-2080 timeframe)
* Expansion targets are generally in better condition

==== For Experienced Players ====

'''US Opening:'''
* Use for early research advantage
* Pivot to EU or China as soon as possible for mid/late-game scaling
* Consider researching "Fall of America" to accelerate [[Mission Control]] development

'''EU Opening:'''
* Focus on [[Mission Control]] development
* Transition to China for late-game dominance
* Let the US decline after extracting value

'''China Opening:'''
* Focus on securing high-value adjacent regions ([[South Korea]], [[Japan]], [[Malaysia]])
* Consider having [[Malaysia]] expand to [[Indonesia]] and [[Philippines]]
* With sufficient [[Control Point]] capacity (~800), consider claiming EU for its accumulated MC

=== Other Regional Options ===

* [[Africa]] and [[Caliphate]]: Highest late-game potential but extremely difficult to develop
* [[Eurasian Union]]: Suboptimal due to Russia's limitations and poor research potential
* [[South American Union]]: Considered the weakest mega-state option

When starting a new game, a player can choose various options to their liking. Changing some options could disable difficulty-related achievements, and you'll see notification about this.

== Scenario ==
Currently there is only one scenario, which starts in the year 2022.

== Solar system ==
Decides how many stellar bodies will appear in the game. This option affects mining productivity rate, which affects the amount of deposit in mining sites.

* Full Solar system - 360 Space objects, 100% mining productivity rate
* Medium Solar system - 250 Space objects, 100% mining productivity rate
* Light Solar system - 110 Space objects, 130% mining productivity rate
* Minimum Solar system - 70 Space objects, 210% mining productivity rate

== Factions ==
Decides the number of factions in the game. Removing a faction increases base cap of the control points by 50.
The minimal number of factions is 3: which will spawn the Aliens, the Resistance and the Servants. Initiative, Project exodus, The Academy, Humanity first, and The Protectorate is added by increasing number of factions, in that order.

== Game Difficulty ==
Chooses the difficulty of the game, which changes various things like AI bonus and alien behaviors.

* Cinematic
* Normal
* Veteran
* Brutal

== Start Game Buttons ==
You may start the game without changing advanced options.

=== Start Long Campaign ===
Start the game with basic game settings.

=== Start Accelerated Campaign ===
Start the game with some changes for more fast-paced game.

* Research Rate: 200%
* Alien Progression Rate: 200%
* Mining Productivity Rate: Double of the base amount set by Solar system setting
* National investment Rate: 200%

== Customize Campaign ==
You may change various options to your liking.

=== Starting Councilor Profession ===
You may choose the profession of your starting Councilor(s). Or you may remove a starting councilor and get 30 influence instead.

=== Variable Project Unlocks ===

=== Show Triggered Projects ===

=== Starting Councilor Profession ===
If selected, your first councilor's home nation will be decided by your PC's regional settings.

=== Base Control Point Capacity ===
Decides the number of CP cap each faction starts with, which decides how many nations you can control before triggering the penalty.

=== AI bonus Control Point Cap ===
Decides how much CP cap AI factions will receive, in addition to the base CP cap.

=== Bonus Mission Control ===
Decides how much bonus MC cap each faction starts with, which decides how many space assets you can control before triggering the penalty.

=== AI Bonus Mission Control ===
Decides how much MC cap AI factions will receive, in addition to the base MC cap and bonus MC.

=== Research Rate ===
Decides the cost of technologies and projects. 200% Research rate means half cost for every tech and projects.

=== Alien Progression Rate ===
Decides how fast the Aliens get access to more advanced technologies.

=== Mining Productivity Rate ===
Decides the amount of deposit in mining sites.

=== National investment Rate ===
Decides the value of Investment Points required to finish nation priorities, which used to develop nations.
200% means only the half amount of IP is used to finish nation priorities. This option also changes cost of direct investment by set amount.
For example, the direct investment cost on 200% National investment Rate is double.

=== Average Monthly Events ===
Decides how many events will happen.

=== Long Campaign Defaults ===
Change various options to the default settings of Long Campaign. Difficulty-related achievements will be enabled with this setting.

=== Accelerated Defaults ===
Change various options to the default settings of Accelerated Campaign. Difficulty-related achievements will be enabled with this setting.

=== Start Custom Campaign ===
Start the game with chosen options.
