A '''law''' is always a choice between two opposing options. Enacting a law requires 400 Civic and a prerequisite technology. More advanced laws have a higher upkeep such as Civic or Training upkeep.

==List of laws==
'''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|Civics|12px}} (building ''[[Wonders|The Pyramids]]'' wonder reduces that cost by 50%). Switching between opposite laws initially costs 250 {{icon|Civics|12px}} and increases by 50 each time you switch (having a leader of the ''Judge'' [[Character Traits (Archetypes)|Archetype]] reduces that cost to 100 {{icon|Civics|12px}}). 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.

Enacting a law costs 400 Civics.png (building The Pyramids wonder reduces that cost by 50%). Switching between opposite laws initially costs 250 Civics.png and increases by 50 each time you switch (having a leader of the Judge Archetype reduces that cost to 100 Civics.png). 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, family type or theology though some events can change these initial preferences.
