The Burmese

Culture: Asians

The leader of the Burmese is Thibaw Min. Bla, bla, bla His favorite
personality traits are XXXXX and YYYYY and his Homecity is
Mandalay, Burma.

Bonuses:
● Ahmudan Conscription (Idea 1): Train non-artillery units from buttons on military
buildings. These buttons make houses spawn the selected unit.
● Ahmudan Conscription (Idea 2): All Burmese military units (except Castle ones) are
recruited in blocks with special buttons in military buildings. These buttons’ cost
increases per age and also the number of units which trains. The further you are, the
more resources you need.
● Hereditary Villages: Burmese military strength resides in their generation-
specialized villages. Every time they use a conscription button the unit upgrades its
attack and hitpoints by 1-2% permanently. (No unit upgrades ofc)
● People of the Irrawaddy: Fishing boats start with an attack and a bonus against
siege ships. This makes them work like an emergency unit in case of naval invasion,
but is not good to rely only on them since they are just Fishing boats.
