Sukritact’s Bayinnaung (Burma)

Unleash the Might of Burma with the Bayinnaung Civilization VI Mod

Step into the rich tapestry of Southeast Asian history with this captivating mod for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, introducing the formidable Burmese civilization led by the legendary Bayinnaung. Known as the “Conqueror of Ten Directions,” Bayinnaung Kyawhtin Nawrahta forged the largest empire in Southeast Asian history during his illustrious 31-year reign. This mod brings his powerful legacy and unique strengths to your Civilization VI gameplay.

Mastering the Ahmudan Conscription

The Burmese civilization boasts the unique ability, **Ahmudan Conscription**. This potent trait rewards strategic district placement with immediate military reinforcement. Upon constructing an Encampment, Theatre Square, or Holy Site, you’ll receive a free Heavy Cavalry, Anti-Cavalry, or Melee unit respectively, each arriving with no resource maintenance cost. Furthermore, buildings within these districts offer a valuable +1 Production boost when you are producing units, streamlining your military build-up.

Revolutionary Units and Enhancements

The mod introduces the **Myinsi**, a unique Renaissance Era unit that serves as an earlier and cheaper alternative to the Cuirassier. While slightly less powerful on its own, the Myinsi gains significant advantages when occupying or being adjacent to districts, boasting an additional combat strength bonus when near a City Center or Encampment.

Complementing their military prowess, the Burmese can construct the **Paya**, a unique improvement. These sacred sites offer a versatile blend of bonuses:

• +1 Faith and +1 Culture intrinsically.
• An additional +1 Faith for every two adjacent Farms, encouraging synergistic city planning.
• +1 Culture for each Paya within two tiles, fostering cultural growth.
• The first four Payas in a city grant +1 Combat Strength to Melee, Anti-Cavalry, and Cavalry units trained there, bolstering local defenses.
• After researching Flight, Payas generate Tourism based on their Culture output.

Payas can be built on Grassland or Plains, including Hills and Floodplains, and cannot be adjacent to one another, requiring thoughtful placement.

Bayinnaung’s Strategic Acumen

As a leader, Bayinnaung’s **Allegiance and Obligation** ability provides a significant diplomatic and military edge. Capturing original Capitals or cities containing Wonders that were not founded by Burma grants you +3 Envoys, accelerating your influence with city-states. Furthermore, for each Tributary City-State you control, your original Capitals gain +1 Amenity and +1 Tourism, while all cities not founded by Burma receive +1 Loyalty, helping to pacify conquered territories. Bayinnaung’s agenda, **Conqueror of Ten Directions**, drives him to seek conquest, particularly on his home continent, and he respects civilizations that demonstrate a similar ambition through city capture.
