Offer No Firm Foundations (Fathomless Mud of the Swamp)

Frequently Asked Questions

Spirits and Innate Powers

• Does Mud’s Offer No Firm Foundations special rule do anything useful against The Kingdom of France Level 2+?
  Yes, it still has two uses:

  • Since Slave Labor only triggers in lands that had 2+ Explorers before Building, the Explorers built via No Firm Foundations won't trigger that ability (though they would still be upgraded if the land already had 2+ Explorers).
  • At some points in the game, preventing new Cities from being built can be worth adding extra Towns. This is particularly true against Level 4+, when a City that causes Triangle Trade would add another Town anyway.

• When the Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony) Level 2+ would Build a City in an Inland Fathomless Mud Sacred Site, how many Explorers get Built?
  One or two Explorers, your choice.

  If you choose to apply Offer No Firm Foundations first, it switches the Build from a City to an Explorer, so More Rural Than Urban doesn’t apply. On the other hand, if you choose to apply More Rural Than Urban first, it switches the Build from a City to two Towns, which Offer No Firm Foundations then switches to two Explorers.
