Hi everybody,
some of you might remember KJ's Mod Slavery Market. The Orient. Port-Royal.
(Parts of "Triangle Trade" from Dom Pedro II were used.)
Currently I am thinking about using some parts of it myself.
A) Africa
Here it is possible to buy slaves.
No other units can be bought here.
Certain goods can be sold profitably. (Mostly goods like Tools, Weapons, Trading Goods, Alcohol, Cigars, Cloth, ...)
It is not a very good place to buy anything except Coffee, Gems, Indigo and Ebony (Walruss Ebony will be renamed.).
(Europe is cheaper.)
Going here will take 4 Turns from the New World or Port Royal and 3 Turns from Europe.
B) Port Royal
Here it is possible to buy criminals.
Also Privateers can be bought here only. (Will not be sold in Europe any more.)
No other units can be bought here.
Certain goods can be bought at quite good prices. (Mostly goods like Coffeeberries, Cocoafruits, Sugar, Natural Rubber ...)
It is not a very good place to sell anything except Rum, Cigars and Weapons.
(Europe is more profitable.)
Going here will take 2 Turns from the New World and 4 Turns from Europe or Africa.
C) Loans (Why not... )
D) Slaves (Yes I know that some people will not like that.)
Slaves can be bought very cheap in Africa but have a lot of penalties.
(I would change a lot of things.)
- cannot Build Settlement
- cannot be educated inside the city
- cannot use "Expert-Mechanism" from LbD
- cannot be Soldier, Pioneer or any other profession outside city
- cannot work in buildings
- cannot be trained in native villages
- cannot discoverd map
- cannot enter Goody Huts
- requires 1 Food per day
- produces +1 on all tile-professions
With the Constitution Element "Abolish Slavery", which can be chosen after declaring Independence, all slaves will be freed.
- Slaves can become free (using modified "Free"-Mechanism from LbD).
Player gets a dialog that asks if he wants to buy free the slave (which will cost money).
- Slaves can escape (using "Escape"-Mechanism from LbD).
Achtung Spoiler:
E) Slaves and Treasures cannot reveal map or speak to Natives
I am not going to use Orient, because it simply does not fit into my Concepts.
Reasons to integrate:
1. I want to have more Ports and more options concerning Trade !
2. It is simply realistic / historically correct.
Greatest Challenge:
Getting AI to make good use of this feature.
Maybe I will need to implement some AI-Cheats to simulate ...
Feedback ?
