[h1]Great Merchants found Corporations, a new type of Great Work.[/h1]
[h2]Requires [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2280231911]Gaia's Core Mod[/url]; compatible with [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2309504487]Sapiens[/url].[/h2]
[quote]Once [b]Banking[/b] is researched, a Great Merchant can found a [b]Corporation[/b]: a Great Work placed in a Bank or a Stock Exchange, named for one of history's great companies and created by its real founder. Unlike the fictional franchises of Civ4 and classic corporation mods, everything here is drawn from history: [b]83 historical corporations[/b] are included, from the Medici Bank of 1397 to SpaceX, each with its own portrait, and every Great Merchant carries an era-appropriate founder name, so the company they found always belongs to their time.

Corporations pay [b]Gold[/b] rather than Culture, generate Tourism like any Great Work, and grant theming bonuses to a well-curated financial collection.

A new Industrial technology, [b]Capital Markets[/b], brings the [b]Stock Exchange[/b] forward and expands your financial quarter with the [b]Investment Bank[/b] (3 Corporation slots and 2 Great Merchant specialists) and the [b]Wall Street[/b] World Wonder (4 slots and a free Great Merchant, built only in a city that already has a Stock Exchange). The [b]National Reserve Bank[/b] adds 2 slots of its own.

The great financial houses each run a [b]Trading Floor[/b]: the Investment Bank earns +1 Gold per Corporation housed in its city, the National Reserve Bank +1 Gold per Corporation your empire holds, and Wall Street +1 Gold per Corporation founded anywhere in the world, by anyone.
