In 1536, Pedro de Mendoza founded the city of Nuestra Senora Santa Maria del Buen Ayre along the Rio de la Plata. After a brief period of collaboration, relations with the natives broke down due to the arrogance of the Conquistadores. A war broke out and an alliance between different groups of natives succeeded in driving the invaders from their lands and destroying the city. Almost fifty years later, Juan de Garay led a new expedition and founded a new city in the same area, called Ciudad de Trinidad. This city became the modern Buenos Aires. Just like the first time, resources were scarce and the natives, aware of the danger posed by the Spaniards, were ready to fight the intruders. In addition, privateers paid by the English crown now threaten the new Spanish colony!
In Trinidad, the players are the heads of the Spanish colonial families who founded the Ciudad de la Santisima Trinidad in 1580. They will have to develop the original colony, constructing buildings such as houses and palaces, stonemasons, markets, churches, and more, while beautifying the city with plazas, fountains and monuments. They will have to use their workers as best they can, choosing carefully where to send them, and also use their characters and affiliates to make the most powerful combos. In addition, they will have to work hard to maintain good relations with the natives, as hard as that may sound, or prepare for a brutal war! On top of that, you must not forget the English Corsairs, who are just waiting for the right moment to attack the city, as soon as it is rich enough...
After a difficult first colonisation phase, the colony will start to look like a city, and players can cooperate to build imposing buildings like the cathedral, the harbour, the governor's palace and the majestic central fort, as well as important things like roads and ramparts. Are you ready for the challenge?
