|
|
Your Monarch</A>
|
|
</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Your Home Country is ruled by a <SPAN CLASS="textbf">Monarch</SPAN> whose actions can
|
|
have a profound influence on your colonies and your relations to other
|
|
nations present in the New World.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
From time to time, the Monarch may decide to raise the
|
|
<A NAME="1725"></A><SPAN CLASS="textbf">Taxes</SPAN> you pay on all goods you sell in the Home
|
|
Port. You may refuse to accept these taxes, however, in which case
|
|
your colonists will stage a protest similar to the <A NAME="1727"></A><SPAN CLASS="textbf">Boston Tea
|
|
Party</SPAN> and throw some goods into the harbour. The Monarch will not be
|
|
amused and will <A NAME="747"></A> boycott this
|
|
type of goods. This means that you will no longer be able to trade
|
|
these goods in the Home Port until the Boycott is lifted.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
You can end a Boycott by paying the outstanding tax arrears. As soon
|
|
as Jacob Fugger II joins the
|
|
Continental Congress, all Boycotts
|
|
will be lifted, but the Monarch may declare further Boycotts later
|
|
on. As soon as Peter Stuyvesant joins
|
|
the Continental Congress, you will
|
|
be able to build Custom Houses in your
|
|
colonies. The original Colonization game contained a bug which made
|
|
the Custom House ignore all Boycotts, and this behaviour is available
|
|
as a rule variant.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Naturally, the Monarch does not trust your colonists, some of which
|
|
are nothing but Petty Criminals, and some
|
|
of which even support the infamous Sons of
|
|
Liberty. For this reason, the crown maintains the
|
|
<A NAME="1729"></A><SPAN CLASS="textbf">Royal Expeditionary Force</SPAN>, which is to put an end to
|
|
insurrections in the New World. From time to time the Monarch may
|
|
inform you that further units have been added to the Royal
|
|
Expeditionary Force, just so that you don't get any ideas.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Monarch may also declare war on any nation present in the New
|
|
World, both European and native. This will also affect your relations
|
|
with this nation, unless Benjamin
|
|
Franklin has already been elected to the Continental Congress. In this case, the Monarch's wars do
|
|
not affect you anymore.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you are already at war with some nation, either due to the
|
|
Monarch's actions, or your own, the crown may offer you some cheap
|
|
<A NAME="1731"></A><SPAN CLASS="textbf">Mercenaries</SPAN>. If you agree to their price, these units will
|
|
appear at the docks in your Home Port, ready to set sail for the New
|
|
World.
|
|
|
|
<P>
