[PB67] Chairman BING seeks the Mandate of Heaven

Come to think of it - I could copy machine translated Chinese bureaucratese for diplo posts, would be funny

Just remember to be incredibly condescending and you will do fine.

I will settle in place.
I picked CHA/IMP for being two very easy-to-use and early-skewed traits.
Then I wanted a civ that also had early-skewed UU/UB, with a defensive emphasis to leverage greedy IMP-fuelled settling, and with fishing tech start.
Carthage and Greece were interesting, but Dog Soldier with 2 promotions off the Totem Pole's +1 XP for melee was more spicy. In theory the dog soldier is a defense-skewed axeman variant.

1. Bing - Cyrus (CHA/IMP) of Native Americans -- see above

2. Charriu - Pericles (CRE/PHI) of America -- leveraging the Carnegie UB, then bulbing with scientists. Looking to rush construction and crush someone? Or Monarchy, Currency?

3. Mjmd - Darius (FIN/ORG) of Sumeria -- two strongest scaling eco traits with cheaper earlier courthouse. "OMG WE NEED TO RUSH THIS PLS!!!"

4. Ginger + GKC - Huayna Capac (FIN/IND) of India -- same deal but the special worker instead of ORG, and IND for more wonders. Probably less powerful but stronger early.

5. Superdeath - LieuYe (ORG/PRO) of Mongolia -- two reliable eco traits,good stable.... doesn't seem too special. Superdeath megaknights will bugger me for saying that.

6. Tarkeel - Roosevelt (IND/ORG) of Rome -- I don't see any direct synergies except for forum with wonder GPPs, but praets gonna praet
