CURRENT EVENT
CHALLENGE 8: TERRA INCOGNITA
Lacking both strategic materials and the luxuries your people demand, you're compelled to explore beyond the shores of your resource-poor continent. Play on Prince difficulty to benefit from João III's boost to international trade, or leverage city-states as Matthias Corvinus on Emperor difficulty for a real challenge.
Can you reach the promised land and secure victory over leaders in the same predicament before July 16? It's time to set sail!
