Strategy[]

Castle Town led by Akane Sakurada is primarily a Cultural civilization that has an incentive to go wide. Like the sister civilization led by Akane's elder sister, Akane's Castle Town is a Great People-driven civilization. Akane's ability grants Castle Town a random yet distinct Great Person per era, which by default includes the following:

And any mods adding a Great Person type available to all civilization and not naval will count as eligible Great Person. There are several exceptions to this: Great People that aren't set by default as an unique, but treated effectively as such are added to the list. Therefore Great People units like the Slave special unit that is a part of the iamaplayer's Nubian Civilization led by Amanishakheto can be acquired through this ability. On the other hand, Great People that are treated as an unique (mainly to prevent City-State quests) even though no other civilizations cannot acquire them normally are not eligible to be the random Great Person. As such, Great Friends that are Unique to Aoi will never be spawned by this ability. Because Naval Great People are exceptions, the trait will not grant Syrakousia (E&D Unit available to DMS's Syrakousai) even though Syrakousia is a "Great Person" of its own type.

Akane's main bonus is her unique ability that by default will often net her 3 Artistic Great People to be used to make Great Works. This in tandem with her Cameras will grant Akane a significant sum of Tourism in the Renaissance Era, magnified by Civ IV Traits if enabled. As such, Akane's Castle Town is best suited towards a Cultural Victory, although depending on when a certain type of Great Person is received, Akane may try for any other victory type. However, Akane has no direct military bonuses whatsoever, so Akane will be vulnerable to rushes and will prove least effective in pursuing a Domination victory.

Events and Decisions[]

Royal's Decree

The time to end the random nature of these campaigns is here. Through clever subliminal messages, and other "Mindwashing" ways we could make sure the next king is the most able prince or princess.

Requirements/Restrictions:

Player must be Sakurada Akane.
Must have a Castle Town Camera in all cities.
May only be enacted once per game

Costs:

50 Culture in standard speed.
2 Magistrates

Rewards:

The Free Great Person that would be granted through the UA becomes an instant selectable type instead.

Right of the Masses

It is time to end this. The elections were made to give the power to the people. We must abolish these practices of our royal family, and put the power back in the hand of the people!
