Tambo administers/ guards -> qullqa stores -> medicinal use of coca consumption -> increased worker rate/better attack in mountains
It’s 3 degrees of separation. If you want a unique promotion you can’t base it off what the coca did because, without coca, none of this makes sense.
Quechua people, ones who still identify with this history, are a living breathing culture. We can’t make sh!t up like we can with Huns or Carthage. We agonized over what to pick and what bonuses to give for Poland, I don't see why we can't extend the same courtesy to Peru.
- Tambos garrisoned troops and served as way-stations/inns (the bonus healing on units in city)
- Tambos administered the local qullqas (
to granaries and to itself)
- Qullqas guarded by tambos stored coca, part of a royal monopoly on the substance (coca luxury resource)
- Tambos were an extension of the Incan centrally-planned economy, and brought disparate regions and cultures into contact by forming a relay system of communications, intel and trade (increased gold from
)
That was my logic. Having tambos give a free promotion is fine, but I will take more time for research to find something appropriate. If coca is going to be tossed I think there’s little incentive to keep tambo at all. The same thing that sinks tambo (coca implementation) also likely sinks qullqa as a unique granary idea. Very little is known about the yachaywasi, but a significant amount is known about Incan astronomy and the use of the intihuatana. Having a unique building that is normally available via policy freely available to a civ through tech is very unique, it could help us spread Inca out more, into the medieval, and we have material to draw from.
