Sukritact's Khmer Rework (Baray)

[bsky.app]

This mod is part of the Monsoon Season event!

The Khmer have always been one of the weaker civs in Civ VI's repertoire. Bonuses towards growth without a real reason to have large cities. Faith bonuses that aid in getting a Cultural Victory instead. And a disappointing lack of Wonders for the famed architects of Angkor Wat.

This mod is my second take on reworking the Khmer, aiming to buff them up, and make them more interesting to play as. The main civ is refocused towards Wonders and Growth, with a new Baray unique district. Jayavarman VII is now more Faith oriented.

The Prasat and Domrey are largely unchanged, though the Prasat is now Jayavarman's UB instead of being the civ unique, and the Domrey is renamed.

Yes, this mod is probably somewhat OP, but I like it, so *shrugs*.

Many thanks to the devs at Firaxis for making the Khmer in the first place! Also thank you to p0kiehl for help playtesting, and for feedback. the Cothon from his Phoenicia rework also inspired Jayavarman's new leader ability!
