I have a question about Colaeus and Irene of Athens.
Both grant a copy of a luxury resource you send them to. I usually choose a luxury resource that's not within my reach (and which I'll likely not reach any time soon). Now if you activate the Great Person, does only your capital really get the amenities or are they divided as usual among 4 cities?
If it's really only your capital that benefits from it, what if you improve that luxury resource later? Since technically you already own a copy of that resource, how are the amenities distributed? Will 4 cities gain +1 amenities as usual and if yes, what happens to your capital? Will it still benefit from the extra resource you got with the Great Merchant or is it "overridden" by the recently improved resource?
Also, what happens if you trade them? I had one game that only had 4 chocolate resources in the whole map which were all located in Egypt's capital, so I sent Irene to one of them and the chocolate resource appeared in the trading menu. Now let's say I had 2 chocolate resources, one from Irene in the capital and one I've improved some later, if I trade one of them, which one would be chosen? Would I trade off my capital resource or the one I've improved, or is it random? Of course, all of these questions don't matter if it's not just your capital that benefits from the Great Merchant resource.
