Sukritact’s Narai (Siam)

Forge Diplomacy with Narai of Siam in Civilization VI

Step into the gilded shoes of King Narai the Great, the 27th monarch of Ayutthaya, and redefine your approach to global dominance in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. This mod introduces Narai as a playable leader, emphasizing a unique playstyle centered on robust diplomatic engagement and thriving international relations.

Mastering Diplomatic Relations

Narai’s leadership is defined by his legendary diplomatic prowess, directly translated into his unique Leader Ability, “Les Ambassades Siamoises.” This ability empowers your alliances, turning them into potent engines for both scientific and economic growth. The more connected you are through alliances, the stronger your empire becomes, fostering a dynamic interdependence that benefits all parties involved.

Economic and Scientific Boon

The advantages of Narai’s rule extend beyond mere diplomatic points. “Les Ambassades Siamoises” directly enhances your empire’s output:

• Alliances provide a significant boost to your Influence per turn.
• Both you and your allied civilizations receive a substantial percentage increase to Gold and Science generation.
• Specialized city improvements, like the Floating Market and its associated buildings, further amplify your scientific output by granting bonus Science to International Trade Routes originating from that city.

Expanded Diplomatic Reach (Ethiopia Civilization Pack)

For those who have integrated the Ethiopia Civilization Pack, Narai’s capabilities are further expanded, offering even greater strategic depth. The “Les Ambassades Siamoises” ability evolves to synergize more powerfully with key diplomatic structures. In addition to the enhanced Gold and Science bonuses from alliances, the Diplomatic Quarter and its buildings also contribute to the Scientific yield of your International Trade Routes. Furthermore, the Diplomatic Quarter itself gains the ability to provide an additional district slot, allowing for more specialized city development and strategic planning.

Narai’s Agenda: The Phrakhlang Ministry

Understanding Narai’s personal motivations is key to successful diplomacy. His Agenda, “Phrakhlang Ministry,” reveals his preferences: he admires civilizations that actively pursue and possess high levels of Diplomatic Favor and are willing to form alliances. Conversely, he disapproves of those who maintain numerous alliances without formalizing them with him, suggesting a desire for genuine commitment in international partnerships.
