Boom’s Vietnam Tweak
Vietnam is a very unique civilization. With a non specialty unique district, a restriction on building districts, and a unique unit that brings back the nightmare move after shoot ability, they are quite unlike any other civilization in the game. However, I have always had a few problems with their design. Spawns that are already weak for most civs (floodplains) now also block districts, district building yields usually do not pay off the placement restriction, so Nine River Dragon Delta could be considered a nerf, and the civ consumes a large amount of gold, with tile buys required for the Thanh and the extreme cost required to upgrade to Voi Chien from archers.
- Districts can now be built on Floodplains, and buildings in these districts receive +1 Food
As I said above, floodplain spawns seriously screw over this civ, and also cause problems with gold and production since Commercial Hubs and Industrial Zone setups are harder to create. These even exacerbate problems with the civ itself since it struggles with gold and cannot chop as much for production. As a result, I gave it a way to deal with floodplain spawns and also build these setups more easily.
- Building a Thanh now triggers a Culture Bomb, claiming unowned surrounding tiles
Tile buys rapidly become very expensive on this civ, especially since they also have to pay maintenance on the Thanh in every single city. I added a culture bomb in order to reduce the gold required to build Thanh setups.
- Yields in buildings built on districts on features now increase to +2 at Medieval Faires
As I said earlier, Nine Dragon River Delta could be considered a nerf to a blank civ. It allows you to keep features underneath districts in order to stack district and feature adjacencies, but it also severely limits district placement. To buff this ability a bit, it now scales mid game in order to provide more return on all the builder charges required to plant woods and the lost chops early game.
