The Mwari Belief Although the Mwenemutapa is the divine ruler of our religion and our state, [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] still is an obedient to the almighty Mwari.

Iron and Cloth Although gold is a very precious metal and ivory is highly sought after, they both are not good material for forging weaponry or tailoring distinctable soldier outfits.

Modernize the State Ever since our foundation our people have worshipped the Mwenemutapa as the image of Mwari, the deity of our Zimbabwe. With the arrival of the strangers from the North, a new world image has entered the head of the people. One where the Mwenemutapa would be a subject to our god. Or another one where the people would actually rule over [Root.GetName]. However, thoughts alone cannot modernize a state.

Restore Zimbabwe

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Fate of Zimbabwe Zimbabwe is the capital of the once Great Zimbabwe empire and serves now as our center of governmental power. However, the fate of this city hangs in the balance when resource scarcity drove the people out of the city and made them move into the several other provinces of our realm. In times like that it is upper most important that we keep our [Root.GovernmentName] as stable as possible.	The country: Owns core province Zimbabwe (1184) Has at least +1 Stability If is Mutapa The event “Regression of Zimbabwe” has fired.

Gain permanent claim on the following areas: Shire Ngonde Upper Zambezi Quelimane Mozambique Central Swahili Coast
Restore Zimbabwe The great city of Zimbabwe was constructed 200 years ago, and as such plays a major role in our history. It houses the many great stone houses of our people, holds many stories of our past and was even described as the golden city in the holy books of foreigners who visited us. Now the once great city is nothing but abandoned ruins; a town where not even the spirits of our ancestors would want to remain. We cannot allow this important city to decay into ruin!

Eclipse Great Zimbabwe Before the time of Mutapa, the Great Zimbabwe Empire dominated Southern Africa regarding culture, economics and military. The empire fell apart, however, as time passed on and our state has arisen to take their place. With the restoration of the old city it is our duty to reach the same height as this former empire - and to eclipse it even.	The country: Has at least 400 total development Owns all provinces in the following areas: Butua Lower Zambezi Zimbabwe Quelimane	The country: Become an Empire Trigger country event “Surpassing Zimbabwe”	Restore Zimbabwe
Contact with Europeans Our realm has always been the attraction point for many foreigners from lands far away. The Europeans, while even more alien to us than the Muslims, are no exception and eventually reached our land too. But the contact with them was superficial at best. We have to establish a better way to stay in contact with the Europeans in order to trade and learn from them.	Any country with its capital in Europe: Is Christian At least one of: Is our ally Has at least +75 opinion towards us Has guaranteed our country Is our overlord Is our subject	Trigger country event “Religious Conflict amongst Merchants”	Construct a Trade Fleet

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Legend of Ophir The Muslims of the north and travelers from the west claim we are the praised land of Ophir, a place from their holy writings where the cities are made out of gold.

The country owns at least 3 provinces which: Produce Gold Have at least 10 Development	The country: Gain 20 prestige Gain 2 years' worth of income from Gold provinces production Unlock the “Controlled Gold Mining” estate privilege
Conquer Sofala The harbor city Sofala is a major trading place and distributed our goods to Asia for centuries. It was never in our own possession though, and if we want to rebuild our connection to Asia we need to conquer this important city.

Construct a Trade Fleet The Zimbabwe Empire used to have a flourishing trade relation with the Asians from the far east. But it was a very one-dimensional trade relation as the merchants had to come to us. This is no longer a valid trade strategy though. Sofala has shown us that trade can only flourish for those who rule the waves. As such we have to adapt to these new circumstances and construct a trade fleet of our own.	The country: Has at least 20 light ships At least one of: Is the strongest trade power in Zanzibar trade node Controls at least 30% of the trade in Zanzibar trade node	The country: Gain 5% mercantilism Trigger country event “Ancient Maps of Asian Trade” Hidden effect: Gain a permanent claim on all ports of the following region: Horn of Africa	Conquer Sofala
The Wealth of Aden Although we had a history of trade with the Asians from the Far East, it is very unlikely that we can ever restore this old trade relationship. Yet we have no reason to be apprehensive. The wealth of the East Asian trade flows through India and eventually reaches the Gulf of Hormuz and the Gulf of Aden. While Hormuz might be too far, the Gulf of Aden could be in our reach. All we have to do is to ... liberate the coast of the Horn of Africa.	At least 5 provinces are owned by the country or non-tributary subjects which: Has a port Is in Horn of Africa region At least 2 provinces are owned by the country or non-tributary subjects which: Has a port Is in Horn of Africa region Has a center of trade of at least level 2 At least one of: Is the strongest trade power in Gulf of Aden trade node Controls at least 25% of the trade in Gulf of Aden trade node	The country: Gain 2 years' worth of income from trade Gain trade modifier “Mutapa Trade Influence” ( +10 Trade Power) in Gulf of Aden trade node for the rest of the game	Construct a Trade Fleet
Monopolize East Africa The trade flourishes and our treasury is filling, but that is not enough. The riches of the past still compete with our current wealth. This needs to be changed! We should control the flow of Ducats at the coast of East Africa, monopolize the important trade centers and steer as much exotic trade goods from India and Asia to our market as possible.	The country: Trade accounts for at least 40% of national income Has at least 5 000 ducats Has no loan At least one of the following trade node is the highest valued trade node in the world and our country is the strongest trade power in this node: Cape of Good Hope Zanzibar Gulf of Aden Our country controls at least 10% of the trade in at least one of the following trade node and our country is the strongest trade power in this node: Gujarat Coromandel Malacca	The country: Gain country modifier “Trade Dominance” for the rest of the game, giving the following effects: +1 Merchant +25% Trade range +15% Trade efficiency Hidden effect: Gain trade modifier “Mutapa Trade Dominance” ( +15 Trade Power) for the rest of the game in the following trade nodes: Cape of Good Hope Zanzibar Gulf of Aden Gujarat Coromandel Malacca Canton Hangzhou Beijing	The Wealth of Aden
