Vivala's Guianas Civ Pack (Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana)

Looking for some South American nations that aren’t just your normal Spanish-speaking affair? Look no further! Introducing the Guianas Civ Pack, featuring three civs from everyone’s favorite ethnically-diverse, densely forested strip on the northern coast of South America!

Guyana (Forbes Burnham)

UA: Co-operative Republic - Receives free Social Policies instead of Trade Route slots. +2 Gold from Customs Houses.

UU: People’s Militia - Replaces the Infantry. Acts as a worker during peacetime. Produces 10 Gold upon finishing an improvement.

UB: Mass Games Arena - In addition to the Happiness bonuses of the Stadium, which it replaces, the Mass Games Arena provides Golden Age Points when constructed, and +5% Great People production per ideological tenet.

Suriname (Dési Bouterse)

UA: Sergeant’s Coup - Great Generals lower the Defensive Strength of adjacent enemy cities by 5 each. Great Generals end a city’s resistance upon entering its borders. Receive a Great General whenever a Military or Gold building is produced in the capital.

UU: Nationaal Leger - Replaces the Marine. Earns Great Generals 50% faster. +5 XP whenever a Great General is born.

UB: Porknokker – Replaces the Hydro Plant. No terrain or resource requirements, and fairly cheap. +2 Production. +1 Gold per mined resource worked by this city. May be built twice per city.

note:The buildings that spawn Great Generals are: Barracks, Market, Mint, Armory, Forge, Bank, Military Academy, Stock Exchange, and Porknokker.

French Guiana (Georges Othily)

UA: La France Équinoxiale - French Guiana receives access to any techs its friends have discovered, but loses those techs when the friendship ends. If French Guiana receives a tech this way while researching it, that research progress is partially refunded as Culture. Upon ending a friendship, permanently gain all prerequisite techs to the one currently being researched.

UU: Jungle Legion - Replaces the Infantry. Starts with the Woodsman promotion (double movement through forest and jungle). Receives Science from kills.

UB: Refugee Housing - In addition to the effects of the Constabulary, which it replaces, the Refugee Housing generates a small burst of food whenever a city is captured in a war you are not part of (this effect has a cooldown that varies based on how much food you received). Additionally, receive a small burst of culture whenever the city’s population increases.

A few warnings due to the quirks of the lua: Including multiple copies of Suriname or French Guiana in the same game may cause their UAs to bug out, as will putting French Guiana on a team (but really, does anyone play games with teams?). Also, because there is no lua trigger for DoFs, French Guiana’s UA does not acknowledge the start and end of friendships until the beginning of its turn.

Currently compatible with Unique Cultural Influence and YNAEMP, however their TSLs are too close to be included in the same game.

Big thanks to the Civ V Modding Helpline Discord, and especially EmeraldRange, for helping fine-tune the designs for these civs!
