Sukritact's Phoenician Civilization

Phoenicia was an ancient Semitic civilization situated on the western, coastal part of the Fertile Crescent and centered on the coastline of modern Lebanon and Tartus Governorate in Syria. It was an enterprising maritime trading culture that spread across the Mediterranean from 1550 BC to 300 BC. They were famed in Classical Greece and Rome as 'traders in purple', referring to their monopoly on the precious purple dye of the Murex snail, used, among other things, for royal clothing, and for their spread of the alphabet, upon which all major modern alphabets are derived.

Replaces the Great Merchant. In addition to the normal Great Merchant abilities, the Tyrian Merchant can establish Commercial Outposts in City States, earning you Tyrian Dye; a luxury resource.
