DLC Requirements: This mod requires both Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm DLC to use.

Introduces the African Kanem Bornu to Civilization VI.

This custom civilization is led by Mai Idris Alauma, who is fully animated in the diplomacy screens. He is released as part of the Modder Pass, a supplementary release to Firaxis’ official Great Negotiators Leader Pass that was recently released.

People of Gold and Silver
Receive a free Trader in your Capital after unlocking the Foreign Trade civic, as well as several other key economic civics and technologies throughout the game.

+2 Gold from every International Trade Route.

Trade routes sent from other civilizations to Kanem Bornu provide +2 Gold for Kanem Bornu.

Girgam
Unlock the Holy War Casus Belli with Mysticism. Yields are improved from Pillaging and Coastal Raids for all units.

Ribat
An improvement unique to Kanem Bornu, similar to the Fort. However, it is unlocked earlier, with Construction, and can be built by Builders.

It provides half of the Fortification bonuses of the Fort. In addition, it yields +1 Gold as standard – becoming +3 Gold after discovering Guilds.

Oja Oba
A district unique to Kanem Bornu, which can be constructed in one city in place of the Commercial Hub. It provides the same bonuses as the Commercial Hub, including adjacency bonuses.

In addition, it provides +4 Loyalty and +1 Amenity in the City it is constructed.

Markets of other civilizations within 16 tiles of the Oja Oba yield -2 Gold.

Mounted Musketeer
Unique ranged Cavalry Unit of the Kanem Bornu, with increased Movement on Desert Tiles.

Kotoko
Unique Naval Unit, replacing the Caravel, which can perform Coastal Raids with yields doubled from such raids. Cannot enter Ocean Tiles. Can also build the Fishing Boats improvement.

This mod also replaces the Ngazargamu City-State with the Kebbi City-State.

This mod includes code to make it compatible with Tomatekh’s Historical Religions.

This should be compatible with most other popular mods, including UI mods, as well as any mods that add new units or features in bulk to the game. Please report specific incompatibilities you might notice in the comments section, citing the mod with which you believe this to be incompatible.
