But that is why not everything works off of Monarch Power. That being said, one of the problems with Monarch Power is that it is possible to simply have few options available. By having the RNG be at the resource level, the player still has all the agency to choose which path to take, but the paths that are viable change from game to game. The more the player is in control of their path, the more samey the playthroughs will be. Dealing with the hand you're dealt, repeatedly, is what makes the game replayable and lets you experience different variations on the sandbox. You do not need to be able to affect the Monarch strength. This is exactly what player agency is: the fact that choosing to take advantage of the tools you're given results in a different outcome from not playing well, or from choosing to take advantage in a different way. Having multiple monarchs who happen to be good at Military should result in it being more profitable to take Military actions. Player agency comes from what you can do, too.
