Possible New plot solution on obtaining Lakota and Haudenosaunee coins

[OperaticShip743]

In fact I proposed something like this:

A better way to get coin for Lakota/Haudenosaunee (and giving coin mines a new purpose)

It could also be visually emulated a situation where the natives give permission to the Europeans to mine, but in reality they are the ones who choose the coins. I do not know if historically there is something to support this argument where Europeans mined in native lands in exchange for something.

It makes sense if mechanics is associated in some way with Europeans, but not as it is currently.

tbh im used to the tribal marketplace now and i actually like how it works as a gameplay mechanic, it creates more chokes in my base, gives line of sight, and lets me gather coin closer to my TC when the mine is far

this game isn’t historically accurate either way so who cares. it’s not like 20 villages standing in a circle bashing a rock outcrop with pickaxes is a historically accurate depiction of mining, much less creating coin, which is what you’re actually doing in game. Vills mining is just as much of an ahistorical visual metaphor as them shuffling around the tribal marketplace

The game is not historically accurate, but it is based on history.

The mechanics itself is not the problem, it is the argument. I am willing to alter the gameplay of these two civilizations in order to see a more ingenious mechanic that is something deeper and unique.
