Vietnamese at a glance

This civ has strong ranged options for concentrated pushes, with Imperial Skirmisher providing range advantage and sustained damage output. Anti-cavalry options are limited -- beware of knight-heavy opponents. Good skirmishers help shut down archer compositions. Siege options are limited -- look to win through open-field engagements rather than pushing fortifications.
