Fabulous Gemland (Pink Taric)

**Fabulous Gemland** led by Pink Taric is a custom civilization created by Mathetes tou Megalou Alexandrou.

## Overview

### Dawn of Man

May the glory of consensual homosexuality ever shine inside you! You are Pink Taric, ruler of fabulous Gemland. Gemland is among the most artistic of nations, as well as a financial powerhouse thanks to its venerable gem industry. Gemland's gemcutters are the envy of others, crafting elegant pieces of craft that command not only high prices but are pieces of fine arts as well.

Now, Pink Taric, the time has come to let the glory of Gemland shine upon the land once more. Spread the art of Gemland throughout the land and bring the gays everlasting glory. Can you build a civilization that will last the test of time?

### Strategy

Taric leads a mercantile civilization, focused on generating great amount of gold and culture. Taric's ability to quickly generate culture and gold through the unique building makes Taric a great candidate for Diplomatic Victory, not unlike the Lydian Empire by ryanjames which has a similar concept. In fact, Taric plays very similarly to Kroisos: both have a Mint replacement that provides a more consistent bonus, both have means of speeding the natural generation of  Golden Age points, and both have a unit replacement that has higher combat strength and generates  Golden Age points when killing enemies. However, while Kroisos's primary bonus lies within merchants and are flat-out  gold focused, Taric's gold bonuses are much less consistent, but makes up for that with  Culture bonuses and an excellent defensive unit.

The Gem Knight can be seen as a mix of the Danish Berserkers and the Japanese Samurai: The Gem Knights are available in Metal Casting like the Danish counterparts, and go obsolete at rifling like the Japanese counterpart. However, the Gem Knights are specialized in defense: They not only receive combat bonus when defending, but receives a significantly greater healing rate when healing inside friendly territories, making them significantly tougher than most other blocker units. Not only that, gaining experience grants them a special but random promotion, which has variety of effect when the unit is garrisoned inside a city.

#### Upcoming Remake

After the remake to make Fabulous Gemland more distinct from Kroisos's Lydia, the Fabulous Gemland will still hold on to a powerful gold game and culture game, although the gold potential is significantly lessened, and it also no longer gets a bonus towards faster Golden Ages. However, Gemland now gets lengthened Golden Ages based on the number of Artistic GPs generated (including those acquired through things like Patronage Finisher), meaning Gemland still has an incentive to pursue a cultural development path. Not only that, the Gem Knights' promotions now have additional effect in a Golden Age, further increasing the importance of Great Artists to Taric. Moreover, the Gem Knights can now fulfill a more aggressive role depending on the promotion it has, making Fabulous Gemland more suited to Domination victory than before.

### Decisions

#### *LGBT Rights Movement*

Historically, the sexual minority always have been oppressed people: they were shunned as perverts, heretics, and simply social undesirables. Taric's Gemland on the other hand had no such social barrier to these people, and have been the haven of sexual minorities seeking refuge from the heteronormal society.
