Dai Viet enters Civilization VII with a culture-powered defensive ability

The empire-building continues in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII as Dai Viet joins the roster for the Exploration Age, bringing with them a powerful blend of resistance and cultural growth.

Rooted in the history of the medieval Đại Việt kingdom —particularly under the Trần Dynasty— this new civilization is defined by its defiant stand against Mongol invasions and its gradual southern expansion into Cham territory. This balance between defense and conquest helped forge a resilient Vietnamese identity, independent yet shaped by surrounding influences.

Their unique ability, Hịch Tướng Sĩ, rewards players with Culture for each point of Urban Population when constructing Fortifications. The cultural gain scales with game speed, encouraging players to build defensively while expanding their ideological reach.

Add Dai Viet to your collection today and shape your empire with determination, resilience, and a culture that stands tall through every storm.
