The Haka War Dance works in the same way as the Feared Elephant bonus held by Carthage's African Forest Elephant. Having a combat bonus for units in range of a Moai is one of quite a few defensive bonuses various Civs have, but two particularly strong ones are held by the Shoshone, whose land units have a 15% bonus in friendly terrain, and Ethiopia, which gets a 20% combat bonus anywhere so long as they have fewer cities than the Civ they're up against. The +1 sight for embarked units is also found in Songhai's UA. Other Civ with strong early exploration bonuses include America (due to their +1 sight bonus) the Aztecs (thanks to their Jaguars, which ignore the terrain costs of forests and jungles) and the Inca (which ignore the terrain cost of hills as part of their UA.) Aside from Polynesia, it's also the start bias of Byzantium, Carthage, Denmark, England, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Ottomans, Portugal, Spain and Venice. The coastal start bias is the most common in the game. The mechanics of Spain's Conquistador UU in addition to the fact many natural wonders are found on the coast encourages a somewhat maritime playstyle for them. Japan has culture on fishing boats and atolls which adds to tourism in the late-game, while Spain can make use of the Natural Heritage Sites decision in the World Congress to add extra culture (and therefore tourism) to natural wonders. Polynesia's the only pure maritime cultural Civ, but Japan and Spain are other Civs that can attempt this path as an alternative to their normal war-centric approaches to victory.

GWAM - Great Writers, Artists and Musicians. GP - Refers to "Great People" in this guide, rather than "Great Prophet". This is usually Polynesia's path.įinisher - The bonus for completing a Social Policy tree (e.g. As those of Hawai'i, Rapa Nui, Aotearoa, Tonga and countless other lands come together to face an ignorant world, it is up to you to build their Civilization to stand the test of time.īefore I go into depth with this guide, here's an explanation of some terminology I'll be using throughout for the sake of newer players.īuilder Nation/Empire - A generally peaceful nation seeking victories other than domination. It is up to you to ensure Polynesia stays strong. In the past, outside forces including the British, French, Chileans and Americans seized control of the islands, often merely for strategic reasons. In this brave new world, Polynesia must hold together. But Polynesia also is home to rich and varied cultures, each one distinct from, but no less complex than, each other. Without fear of what lay over the horizon, and with the world's greatest skill in navigation for centuries, your people colonised islands which any other people of the world would have never reached. The islands making up Polynesia are home to some of history's greatest seafarers. Note: This guide assumes you have all game-altering DLC and expansion packs (all Civ packs, Wonders of the Ancient World, Gods & Kings and Brave New World)
