Every player kingdom in the game has a set of imperial goals. The goal is to capture two or three specific provinces and have a clear line of movement between the provinces and their home kingdom. If a kingdom achieves its imperial goals, that kingdom's military power is significantly enhanced. Imperial goals are not victory conditions. You do not win the game if you achieve them. Achievement of your imperial goals simply benchmarks your passage from a kingdom to a true empire (let the rest of the world beware!) and provides you with a reward for your progress. Once you have attained your imperial goals you must protect your interests. Loss of even one condition will cause your kingdom to revert to its old status. The specific imperial goals for your kingdom are listed in your Kingdom Report.
