'''Laws''' are powerful, nation-wide bonuses enabled by certain [[Tech Tree|technologies]]. When completing one of these technologies, a [[Nations|nation]] may choose between two opposite laws. Enacting a law costs 400{{icon|civic|12px}} (building ''[[Wonders|The Pyramids]]'' wonder reduces that cost by 50%), switching between opposite laws costs 600{{icon|civic|12px}} (having a leader of the ''Judge'' [[Character Traits (Archetypes)|Archetype]] reduces that cost by 50%). Most laws have upkeep cost, collected per city per turn. Enacting each law also grant an [[opinion]] boost for a certain pre-defined character type, [[Families|family type]] or [[Religions|theology]] though some [[events]] can change these initial preferences.

Laws Screen

For laws regarding leader succession, see Inheritance Laws

Laws are powerful, nation-wide bonuses enabled by certain technologies. When completing one of these Technologies, a nation may choose between two opposite Laws. Enacting a Law costs 400 (building The Pyramids Wonder reduces that cost by 50%). Switching between opposite Laws initially costs 250 and increases by 50 each time you switch (having a leader of the Judge Archetype reduces that cost to 100 ). Most Laws have upkeep cost, collected per City per turn. Enacting each Law may also grant an opinion boost for a certain Archetype, Family Class or Theology, though some Events can change these initial preferences.
