Culturele Nederzetting: Mogolrijk
Mogolrijk
Je doel in het Mogolrijk is om Akbar de Grote te helpen een mooie en bloeiende stad in zijn rijk te bouwen. Om je doel te bereiken om een bloeiende stad op te bouwen, heb je roepies nodig. Deze grondstof wordt gebruikt om culturele goederen te produceren (vergelijkbaar met grondstoffen uit eerdere nederzettingen: kopermunten, kobanmunten, deben en cacaobonen). Zorg ervoor dat je woon- en diplomatiegebouwen in je nederzetting bouwt om genoeg roepies te produceren, en doorloop de 20 missies om je nederzettingsbeloning te claimen!
Voordat je begint moet je de technologie "Hoger onderwijs" (Late middeleeuwen) onderzocht hebben om de culturele nederzetting: Mogolrijk te ontgrendelen.
In het Mogolrijk moet je nieuwe goederen verzamelen om vooruitgang te boeken, en je zal nieuwe grondstoffen beschikbaar hebben om je op weg te helpen: als je genoeg grondstoffen hebt verzameld, kan je nieuwe gebouwen voor het Mogolrijk ontgrendelen of extra uitbreidingen.

Dagelijkse bonus
Met de komst van de culturele nederzetting Oud Egypte, introduceerden we culturele kosten om wegen te bouwen. Daarmee hebben we ook de hoeveelheid culturele valuta aan het begin van de nederzetting gewijzigd en een dagelijkse inning van jouw ambassade toegevoegd. Dit geldt ook voor het Mogolrijk.
The puzzle
This time, you will find no additional interactive building on the outskirts of your raising Mughal city, meaning that there's no additional feature available upon completing 6 Cultural Settlement quests (e.g. Feudal Japan's Merchant, Aztecs' Courtyard, etc), although you can still get an additional reward by reaching this milestone.
Please be aware that you can place these diplomacy buildings anywhere in your city, but they will only provide you with additional bonuses if you properly connect them to your Embassy!
This time around, the whole Mughal Empire Settlement is the puzzle and also the minigame you have to solve. There are two types of diplomacy buildings, two small and three large ones, and these have chain and set mechanics to increase the beauty and production of your outpost.
Chain ability bonus  Small diplomacy buildings |
Set ability bonus  Large diplomacy buildings |
  Alley Water Canal |
  |
 |
 |
| The small diplomacy buildings have a chain ability, which means that you can attach them to your Embassy sides, or better saying, the entrances! When you connect these buildings, you increase the overall amount of diplomacy in your settlement.
|
Meanwhile, the large diplomacy buildings have a set ability, meaning that you can collect additional cultural goods once a day by placing unique large buildings in the adjacencies of your Embassy (anywhere close to the Embassy, not necessarily to the sides or in front of the main building). There are three different large diplomacy buildings, and in order to fully maximize the potential of your settlement, you will need to build all of them. You can get up to three set bonuses, however, these are only granted by placing different set buildings! In other words, if you place three of the same large diplomacy building, you will only get one bonus, not three! So make sure to avoid repetition here. |
The challenge in the Mughal Empire Cultural settlement is to connect all those buildings together which is not an easy task, as you need to decide which expansions are worth unlocking and which impediments should be removed, as you also need to make room for residential and goods' buildings.

Impediments
Impediments are also present in the Mughal Empire settlement and they will restrict your building area, thus making each settlement a puzzle! Every time you start a new playthrough, those impediments will be rearranged, adding an extra layer of challenge to organizing the settlement. However, just like in previous settlements, these impediments can be removed with pickaxes.
