In the game's words
How to use it
The Lombard is a unique Italian building. Lombards can train mercenaries and allow players to deposit resources that will be exchanged into different resources over time. Like Dutch Banks, they have a low build limit, however.
History
As mercantile enterprises exploded during the early modern period, the practices of banking and money lending – frowned upon by the Catholic Church as usury, became increasingly crucial and lucrative. Material concerns trumped moral misgivings and bankers quickly became among the most powerful figures in Lombardy, a region in northern Italy. The practice soon expanded not just to neighboring regions, but also to all of Europe and beyond, where the term “Lombard” was adopted as a loanword into most local languages – denoting the professions of banking and money lending.
