Merrick's Lithuania

Adds Lithuania led by Grand Duke Gediminas, the founder of Vilnius and the Gediminid Dynasty.
With a long history of folk tradition - Lithuania is a medieval to industrial era civilization that can benefit from national happiness and celebration. Gain Inspirations from the artists you draw to your nation with theatre performances and sacred groves.
Defend your precious resources with Ulonas, who can strike fast from the fortified Pilis that dot your landscape.

Dainu Svente

• Receive a random Inspiration upon earning a Great Writer, Great Artist, or Great Musician.
  
• Ecstatic Cities gain +10% Culture and their Theater Squares and Preserves provide +1 Great Writer, +1 Great Artist, and +1 Great Musician points.
  
• The Preserve's Culture Bomb can acquire owned tiles.

Dainu Svente (or Song Celebration) is the Lithuanian Song and Dance Festival originally held in 1924, it's more than just a modern music festival and celebrates the long history of Lithuania's cultural heritage.

Ulonas (Cavalry)
Unique Lithuanian Light Cavalry

• +2 Combat Strength when attacking for each different resource improved in the city when it was trained.
  
• Can move after attacking.
  
• -10 Combat Strength when defending against melee attacks.

More commonly known as Uhlans, this cavalry unit became a prominent lancing force in multiple countries, but originated from the Tatar families that settled in Lithuania in the late 14th century. Speed and mobility was key against the growing use of firearms, so it's best to keep your Ulonas out of lengthy melee combat and use it as a hit and run reconnaissance force.

Pilis
Unique Lithuanian improvement, unlocked at Medieval Faires.

• One per city. Built on any land tile adjacent to a Bonus or Luxury resource and not adjacent to another Pilis. Can be constructed on marsh and forest without clearing.
  
• +1 Culture and +1 Production for every 3 adjacent Coast or Lake tiles.
  
• +1 Culture from each adjacent Luxury Resource and +1 Production for each adjacent Bonus Resource.
  
• Triggers a Culture Bomb and grants +1 Appeal to adjacent tiles. +1 Housing. Grants stationed units fortification.

Lithuanian Castles stood as proof of the economic and military might of Lithuania. While many of the original fortifications have long since disappeared, many iconic castles still stand as prominent landmarks in Lithuania. Your Pilis can stand in defence of the precious resources you will need to keep your population happy and your Ulonas strong, as well as enforce new borders to steal resources from neighbouring civilizations.

Dream of the Iron Wolf

• +50% Faith bonus in the Capital. Settled cities have +10% Faith and decrease the Capital Faith bonus by 10% to a minimum of +10% Faith.
  
• Can purchase Settlers with Faith.

Legend has it that Grand Duke Gediminas was hunting in a sacred forest when he dreamed of huge Iron Wolf. It stood atop a hill and howled, louder than a hundred wolves. A priest interpreted this dream and told him to establish Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, where the glory and deeds of Lithuania's rulers can echo throughout the world.

Pagan Kinsman

• Seeks to settle new cities and have a high population and respects those who do the same. Hates Civilizations who actively spread their religion to his cities.

Gediminas does not hate new religion naturally spreading into his cities, but will be angered by those who actively proselytise with missionaries and apostles.
