Costumes

Costumes are a mechanic in which determines if a region is owned. For example, lets just say France is conquering Holland. If Holland is taken over, it will fill the region up with the color blue (France's color). But, if France fails, the defending region's color will remain green, which is the color for the Independent costume. The Independent costume does not apply to the following:


 * Regions that are owned by factions at the beginning of the game that are grouped with other regions in one faction, such as New York, SW Canada, and Nuevo Leon.
 * Regions that are starting regions. This applies to the UK and France. The regions are named "Britain", "France" and "Iberia".
