In Search of Gold
Wonderous Expansion
Welcome to my next Role Play Challenge, the Next Generation: King Midas and the Golden Touch. These next generation RPCs are meant to be fun and educational and differ from the classic RPCs as I play out other historical leaders, whether real, fictional, or in the middle!
Here we have King Midas of the legondary Phrygian Empire (as described by Homer), yes the King with the Golden touch! But this real Midas does not have any supernatural powers, but gold does flow from his fingers (as well as silver and gems) and he has an incredible GREED for more and more. In fact he shall never be satisfied unless he has the world's entire precious metals resources under Phrygian control!
Our game settings and leadership!
We shall play as Hannibal of Carthage (because I got jipped out of playing a true Hannibal game in the classic RPC version).
Map: Large Archipelago, medium sea level
Emperor difficulty
Epic Speed
Vassals are turned OFF!
Rules!
1) Midas must control every precious metal resource in the game.
2) Midas is infatuated with gold and thus MUST alwasy have a positive gold outcome from the slider POST Currency!
3) Mercantilism, State Property, and Environemtalism are forbidden and Free Market MUST be adopted ASAP.
Guildelines
We will generally try to maximize merchant specialists, Great merchant Wonders, and Corporations HOWEVER these are decided as the game and map dictate.
Our leader stats
We start with Mining and Fishing! The UB is the Cothon which is great for an archipelago map, and the UU a useful Horse Archer which is fitting for the Phrygians (at elast according to Homer!).
And the start
Seafood aplenty and ample forrests to chop out some key wonders!
