The half-century Philippine fight for independence took many forms: lobbying to politicians, a revolution, and at least three wars. This mod is a snapshot of the Philippines within the game’s modern-era timeframe: A fledgling, battle-hardened nation whose sense of identity is torn between its precolonial traditions, 333 years of Spanish rule, and nearly 50 years as America’s “little brother” (read: colony). As a newly-independent nation, not only must The Philippines find its way around much more powerful nations, but it must also find its own sense of identity. 

Adds the Philippines as a new playable Civilization, based on their struggles from their revolution from Spain, through the colonization of the United States, and the aftermath of the Second World War. A civilization that suits many playstyles, trade and diplomacy bonuses build financial and political funds to help you towards your goals, and defensive bonuses help protect what you’ve built up. 

Bayanihan (tl: Community unity) - This way of life means that Filipinos will always lend a helping hand to their neighbors. Receiving a declaration of war grants Influence and Culture. Increased Influence towards proposing and supporting endeavors. Combat penalty for land units outside friendly territory.
