- Overview
-
Persecuted, oppressed, and often expelled from their homelands in Europe to find new home in other less repressive countries.
Often, many legal restrictions were placed upon the Jewish communities preventing them from certain activities. Nevertheless, they were able to thrive and form a powerful merchant & banking sectors.
Any Civilization can ally with Jewish Community except for Spanish & Portuguese (remember they were expelled from Spain & Portugal during the Spanish Inquisition).- Units
- Jewish Merchant
- Cost : 125 Coin
-
A merchant will be a newly introduced unit with totally new concept rather than being just another villager with a different name. A merchant unit in general will sacrifice a small percentage of its resource gathering rate for gold. Whenever a merchant is gathering resources, gold (coin) will be auto-generated at a certain rate (the logic behind it is simple, merchants sell goods for money!).
Jewish Merchant is a villager-type unit with 20% less gather rate for all resources. However, the merchant will auto-generate coin at rate of 0.36 per second (the 0.36 rate is actually 3 times of the sacrificed 20% gather rate for gold i.e. 0.6 & 20% 3).
