The Bantu Culture is an exclusive content of the Cultures of Africa Pack DLC.

The Bantu are a culture available in the Ancient Era, with the Expansionist culture focus.

"This vibrant and ever-expanding culture is one born of assimilation. Bantu languages and customs are almost beyond number, yet still their urge to spread knows no bounds."

Culture orientation[]

Expansionist culture icon Expansionist cultures favor a gameplay orientation focused on Empire expansion, not necessarily through war.

These cultures gain extra Fame from Expansionist Era Stars for claiming Territories.

Affinity Action: Under One Banner[]

Can forcibly annex Territories occupied by other Empire's Outposts and Administrative Centers.

  • For annexing, you need to move an Army to stand on another Empire's Outpost or Administrative Center.
  • The process will take the Army a few turns, cost a sum of Money, and can be interrupted when someone attacking the annexing Army.
  • You cannot trigger multiple annexations at the same time, and will need to wait a few turns after each successful annexation before using this Affinity Action again.
  • Territories held by your Allies cannot be annexed.

Affinity Bonus: Ambition[]

Can always trespass due to Expansionist affinity.

  • That is, can actively trespass despite the Border Policy Treaty being at Closed Borders.
