== Strategy ==
In Rise and Fall, Ferdinand Magellan's ability is useless unless you have a coastal city that's struggling with Loyalty, which you shouldn't at this point in the game. It becomes much more useful in Gathering Storm, as it can grant you a copy of a luxury resource as well as some . As a Great Admiral, however, Magellan can only be used on water-based luxury resources such as and , and you'll need lots of cities on the coast and/or with Harbors to reach distant oceans if you're playing on a map where bodies of water are separated by landmasses (as they often are on Shuffle and Fractal). If Montezuma or the Scots have access to bodies of water with new luxury resources, they can make particularly good use of Ferdinand Magellan due to the Combat Strength bonus their units receive from luxury resources and the bonuses they receive from having surplus (respectively).
