MP: EA Oceans of Land - (Noob game) [running]

[Euarchus]

Hi all, I was just reviewing the rules, and I realise I've broken one - I've colonised one water province. I'm really sorry about this, I just didn't realise. I'm not sure what I can do about it, but it has no PD so hopefully it will get an event?

set taxes in the underwater province to 0 so you won't gain gold form it. don't produce any units from it and don't site search it. if you happened to have found a level 0 gem producing site than build 1 commander in that province along with a lab and put all the gems you get from that site alone on your commander each turn. say it's a Kelp Forest that provides 1 Nature gem, each turn you put a single Nature gem on that commander, so you won't be able to use an advantage gained illegally.

Stick the Tax up to 200 and raise some unrest. Or set Tax to 0. What do others think?

*edit* Do you have a castle adjacent to the water province? Then you get a little bonus resource in the castle.

I think in the long term (and less micro-management) if you set the taxes to Max (200 I think) it will give you no benifits in a short period of time and the effects you get now will be negligible.

The big thing is if you get gems from the province, you will just have to be on your honor about that. One vanilla province is not a big thing, 3 or 4 would be.

So one has to own a neighboring province for his castle to be able to suck production from it?

Water provinces do not provide resources to land provinces and vice versa.

Thank you, as I have never had the occasion to play a water nation or go into the water I did not know that.

that is good to know!!
