We're building and finishing a 4X strategy game, and Merge is one of the features that add more dynamics to the gameplay. Uncaptured regions are slowly destroyed until the Merge ultimately consumes them - but, there is a way to counter it. Just capture the region and bind it to your Throne (your seat of power).

The idea is - knowing that any unclaimed region can be consumed by merge, players are incentivized to quickly capture them and fight over control. Especially the ones rich with resources.

Here's the game for reference: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2805850/Atre_Dominance_Wars
