Kidasticks" is a map key that has been studied for both Imperialism and Imperialism 2.
Imperialism
- The specific article has not been created for (or "Kidasticks" is not part of) Imperialism
The Imperialism version is said to give the Red Great Power balanced resources. It appears on a list in gamefaqs "Contributed By: TheLastNight and Snuff-A-Luff".
Imperialism 2
- Main article: Kidasticks (Imp2)
The two biggest GPs, with 7 provinces each, are:
- Portugal, adjoining one GP and one MN; its best capital site can support population of 12, and it can discover cotton and sugar cane on its first ship move; but its own iron ore is some way off and nobody seems to sell any (well, maybe a unit or two every couple of decades). At least it is better off than neighbour Spain in that regard: Spain has only five provinces and has to run a line even further to reach its iron ore.
- Sweden, with 25 grain farms but no horse ranches and no tin, adjoining one GP and exclusively three MNs; possibly the easiest win.
Two of the MNs and most of the GPs have horses as their main or only stated export early in the game.
