For all players who already know Imperial, the main rule differences between Imperial and Imperial 2030 are listed below. The complete Imperial rules can be found here.
Loans: Each state has an additional loan of 30 million with an interest rate of 9 million (30%)
Rondell: If a state wants to advance more than 3 spaces, the costs for this are now: (1 + power factor) in million .
Tax: The bonus for the governments depends at Imperial 2030 does not depend on the increase in tax revenue. Instead, there is a fixed bonus for the respective tax revenue, which can be seen on the tax bar. The tax revenue of the respective states does not therefore have to be marked with a token. Furthermore, the bonus for the players is not paid from the bank, but from the state treasury. If there is not enough money in the treasury, the player receives less or no bonus. (As a variant, you can also play with the Imperial bonus rule.)
There are the Panama and Suez Canals. Both fleets and armies can be moved in convoy through these channels. If states have placed flags in Colombia or North Africa, they control the canals and maneuvering through the canals is only possible with their permission.
If a player does not lead a government, he receives a Swiss bank. With the Swiss bank he can prevent states from crossing the investor field and in this way force them to pay out interest. However, the prerequisite is that there is enough money in the state treasury to service all loans.
