Across the Ages, Amina can pump out some serious Gold yields and will excel at establishing trade routes, maintaining peaceful trade relationships with allies, and crushing anyone who opposes her coin with a powerful Military presence.
An Economic Victory is achieved by completing the Silk Roads, Treasure Fleets, and Railroad Tycoon Legacy Paths, as well as the World Bank project.
The civilizations with which Amina can most effectively do this are Aksum in the Antiquity Age, Songhai in the Exploration Age, and Mughal in the Modern Age.
Each of these features unique Economic-focused bonuses that will propel Amina to an ultimate victory. Her Warrior Queen of Zazzau ability not only gives each city +1 Resource capacity, but also provides +1 Gold per Age for each Resource assigned to Cities.
