Mansa Musa and Poland (bug fixed)

[hmiyamoto]

If I use my only gold to pay for Poland power (pay 1 gold to 1st/2nd player for an action before other players), does Mansa trigger? Im my current game it didn´t trigger.

I confirm that it doesn't work, and yes, I think it should work so it's a bug.
I will wait before adding this to the list of known bugs because it should be easy to fix and if I find a bit of time in the next days I will fix it.

Thanks for reporting this.

Ok, this bug has been fixed, now Mansa Musa is triggered when paying for Jagellonian dynasty too (how many different ways to spend gold are there in this game?).

for the Mansa Musa effect, you can spend the gold by
- buying a progress board card (normal way, with axumite kingdom dynasty token, row 4 colony)
- buying an advisor from Poland with Polish-Lithuanian dynasty
- buying Chopin from another player
- buying an extra action as Poland with Jagellonian dynasty
- removing an advisor with Mali Empire
- using the effect of Piazza San Marco

I would personally count also the following, although I don't know what the rules stipulate
- Forth Crusade event - (Most Strength = may -3Gold for 1VP) - it's a choice, similar to the Mali dynasty or the Piazza.
- New Kingdom dynasty - buy a battle for 0 gold, when already at 0 gold (you are technically spending gold in quantity of 0, so it technically is your last gold)

Theoretically, some could make an argument for Joseon Kingdom being interpreted as using 1-3 gold as a way of spending, so Mansa could apply here, but it's a bit on the extreme side..
