House Baratheon of Storm's End (Renly)

From the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, and Game of Thrones show, King Renly I Baratheon leads House Baratheon of Storm’s End with culture and extravagance.

The Summer King - Unique Ability

Adopting a new Social Policy begins a short 'We Love The King Day'. Great Person tile improvements give +2 Culture and the Culture cost of expanding into new tiles is reduced by 25%.

Rainbow Guard - Unique Unit

The Rainbow Guard replaces the Longswordsman. The Rainbow Guard is stronger than the Longswordsman, heals at double the normal rate, gives Culture on kills and upgrades to the Rifleman instead of the Musketman.

Tourney Grounds - Unique Building

The Tourney Grounds replace the Circus. Whilst slightly more expensive to build, the Tourney Grounds have no resource requirements and give +10% Great Person generation in the city they are built in. Upon discovering Acoustics, they yield +1 Tourism.

Renly’s ability The Summer King allows for you to have your cities’s populations and borders to grow faster by focusing on culture, and rewards you with culture by constructing Great Person improvements.

The unique building Tourney Grounds replaces the Circus and is slightly more expensive to build. However, it still yields the happiness bonus, has no resource requirement, and gives +10% Great Person generation in each city that has a Tourney Grounds. It also later in the game gives a small tourism bonus. Overall, the Tourney Grounds allow Renly to generate more Great People so he can flourish his culture, as well as giving a boost towards a culture victory later in the game.

The flamboyant unique unit, the Rainbow Guard is a stronger replacement of the Longswordsman. The Rainbow Guard also heals at double the normal rate, and earns culture on kills. To make sure they are well utilised, they also upgrade to the Rifleman rather than the Musketman. The Rainbow Guard can be used defensively or offensively, though it rewards Renly with culture by being in combat which opens up an aggressive culture victory option, or just pure domination.

Renly has a well-defined set of abilities and uniques that allow for him to take several approaches. Putting aside the obvious bias towards a culture victory, he can also opt for a science victory by increasing population via ‘We Love the King Days’ and using enhanced Great Person generation, or domination victory is also an option by crushing foes with the strong Rainbow Guard. Whatever option you choose to take, Renly is a flexible leader, able to cater to many playstyles. His main abilities consist of you being able to generate Great People easily, increasing the borders and populations of his cities quickly, whilst defending them fiercely with the Rainbow Guard.

The mod features a fully-fledged civilization including: custom unit icons, custom border colours, properly tested AI, varied Renly-like diplomacy responses, custom music (including Light of the Seven), and much more. Enjoy the mod!
