Lords of the Earth
Campaign Twenty-Eight

Monumental Projects

During the course of play, Nations may seek to undertake large and lasting projects that will endure far beyond them. These monuments each confer different bonuses for each level of size to the nation who controls them.

Type Effect Notes
Religious Increase Religious Strength Monument that encourages piety and strength of faith within the nation.
Religious Decrease Religious Strength Monument that encourages religious tolerance and harmony within the nation.
Religious Increase National Influence Monument that encourages the influence of a specific Primacy within the nation to increase.
Religious Decrease National Influence Monument that discourages the populace away from a specific Primacy.
Religious Increase Religious Influence Monument that encourages tolerance of another related Religion. This will either add one to a current Influence Level gained with the 'Influence Other Religion' action, or will generate a new Influence. Available to Primacies only.
Religious Religious Investment Monument that immediately allows a Nation to roll for increase of it's Religious Operation or Religious Bonus rating. This is in addition to the normal chance for increase during the turn.
     
Wondrous Increase Resistance Value Monument that increases the Resistance Value of the region it is built in.
Wondrous Decrease Resistance Value Monument that decreases the Resistance Value of the region it is built in.
Wondrous QR Investment Monument that immediately allows a Nation to roll for increase of one of its Quality Ratings. This is in addition to the normal chance for increase during the turn.
Wondrous Espionage Investment Monument that immediately allows a Nation to roll for increase of it's INTEL Operation, Assassin Operation, INTEL Bonus, or Assassin Bonus rating. This is in addition to the normal chance for increase during the turn.
Wondrous Overreach Project Monument that allows the Nation to overreach a Research and Development Project that any other Nation has already completed, without the need for a working model. Note that all other requirements for the PRoject must already be met.
Wondrous Increased Childbirth Monument that increases the chance of successful Have Children actions performed at the location.
Wondrous National Stability Monument that lowers the chances of Dynastic Failure of a Nation. Note that the DF chance may never be reduced by more than half through Monuments or Relics.

Effects in Italics are one-shot effects, and once completed may never be lost, even if the Monument is destroyed. Other effects only benefit the current controller of the Monument. If the Monument is destroyed, the effects are immediately lost. If the Monument is taken, the benefits are conferred to the new owner. Monuments which are damaged (Through the Terrorist Attack Operation) cease to confer their benefit until repaired.

Each Level of Monument may produce a different effect. Each Level of a Monument acts as a direct negative to TA actions targeting it. So, larger Monuments are harder to damage, though when they are damaged, many effects can be lost. Also note that Religious Monuments have a chance of turning a city into a Holy City. See the Religious Rules.

Monuments should fit the effect they are generating. Cathedrals and Shrines will work for pretty much any of the Religious effects. Palaces and Government Buildings make sense for National Stability, but so do Monumental Tombs and Graveyards used to focus the Nation's grief. Academies, Museums and Libraries all make sense for Investments and R&D effects. Hospitals for the Childbirth. Be creative. I will also take suggestions for further effects from players, and if I like them, will add the effects to the above lists.
