COTM116 Theodora of Byzantium - Demigod - Pre-game discussion
COTM116 is a demigod-level game designed by greatbeyond where you play as Theodora of Byzantium.
The great Roman empire has been split in two. Theodora, you have been chosen to lead the eastern Roman empire with it's capital to be in Constantinople. As a going-away present, Caesar has granted you a Legionary and a total of 40 gold. You won't however be able to build any other Legionaries. The bond between Rome and the new empire will remain strong, as you will share a permanent alliance… for better or worse. Caesar can declare war or negotiate peace without asking for your input, as you will be able to as well. You may however safely ignore his demands. There will be 11 civilizations trying to destroy you. Will you suffer the same fate as Constantine XI Palaiologos, “who was last seen casting off his imperial regalia and throwing himself into hand-to-hand combat after the walls of the city were taken”?
Will you become the cultural center of the world? Will you build the Hagia Sophia, a world wonder that will earn 10 culture per turn, make 4 citizens in the city it is built happy and 1 in every other city. It will reduce war weariness, reduce the effect of propaganda, increase Luxury trade, and act as a tourist attraction. You must have Republic as a government and have researched Theology. Will the Byzantine people be able to enjoy it's beauty through the ages or will barbarians of some other tribe convert it to a different use?
