Wa-Swahili, "shore people", designates the inhabitants of the East African coastline, and signifies above all a culture with a common language, Kiswahili, and the same religion, Islam. The medieval sites along the Swahili Coast represent a single cultural tradition with diverse local traditions that can be traced to the ninth century, which is considered to have developed into the modern Swahili culture. Currently, there are 173 identified settlements that flourished along the Swahili Coast and nearby Islands from the ninth to the seventeenth centuries, which include the sites of Kilwa, Malindi, Gedi, Pate, Comoros, and Zanzibar.

Sultan al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman, often referred to as "Al-Mawahib" ("father of gifts"), was the ruler of the city-state of Kilwa, from 1310 until 1333. Sultan al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman is reported to have have been a generous and intelligent man. Numerous construction projects took place during his reign, including the building of the Palace of Husuni Kubwa and a significant extension to the Great Mosque of Kilwa.

Al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman:

Leader Ability: Palace of Husuni Kubwa – Harbours adjacent to a Wonder provide +1 Trade Route Capacity. Patronage of Great People costs 20% less Gold.

Agenda: Father of Gifts – Dislikes civilizations who are competing for Great People if they do not develop their cities. Admires civilizations that maintain the maximum number of districts in most cities and is home to many Great People.

Notes:
The Swahili use Persia’s music. The mod should be playable without the Persia DLC, but there will be no music.

As the UA’s adjacency bonus is done via modifiers, the bonus will not display in the UI unless you use Simple UI Adjustments. ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/itemedittext/?id=939149009 )
