This mod adds the Brigand Kingdom led by Grieth, as seen in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia to the base game of Civilization.

UA: Rambunctious Bunch
Population yields more unhappiness (40 percent), but unique luxury resource quantities are increased by 50%, and Golden Ages, albeit 25% shorter, grant a 35% combat bonus and 1 extra movement.

UU: Cutthroat
The Cutthroat is a powerful standard melee unit during the Classical Era, much stronger than the Spearman and Warrior. They are very useful when attacking early-era cities. They gain gold upon kills.

UI: Bandit Hideout
A Hideout can only be built on city state territory and siphons resources from that state.

Strategy:
The way I designed this civ to be played is very selfishly and very aggressively, the AI will hoard luxuries and gold to both sustain its armies and keep its inhabitants happy, it's meant to represent what it's like to be at the helm of a group of rowdy outlaws. I wouldn't recommend expanding too hard early, but getting the UI off on a few resource wealthy city states and pleasing your citizens will give you a very strong Golden Age boost. Use that time to either eliminate your enemies fully or rush their capitals, as the Golden Age is a bit shorter due to, again, the rowdy nature of the bandits.
Training a slew of cutthroats (without needing the Iron a Swordsman needs) and expanding during the Golden Age is recommended, as is scoping out the map early for city states and escorting your workers with a combat unit is nigh mandatory, as you'll really want to get your value out of them.
Lastly, as far as policies go. Honor will only make your units stronger, but going Liberty (with the city expansion now axed in the new update) certainly isn't a bad plan), especially since one of the policies in it grants a free Golden Age, granting you two in a row if you play your cards right).

Tl;dr: Have a turtle mindset when it comes to city founding, prioritize military, gold and primarily happiness and use the Golden Ages to its fullest.

Final Words:
I have tested this civ on both Prince and King difficulty on smaller maps and bigger maps during both Quick and Standart game speeds, and feel like this is the optimal setting to play it on. It might be a bit harder for newer civ players, but I always try to slightly change the way players have to play to use my civs in the right way.
