João III (Civ6)

João III (7 June 1502 – 11 June 1557), nicknamed the Pious, was king of Portugal from 1521 until his death. Known for his expansion of the Portuguese Empire, he started the the colonization of Brazil and secured control of the Maluku Islands, ensuring Portuguese monopoly over the spice trade. He leads the Portuguese in Civilization VI.
Portugal seeks to explore the map to set the stage for a sea-based trade empire, taking advantage of its advantages in coastal resources and nautical exploration.
== Intro ==
 João III, you stand firm in your beliefs and guide others to them. As you spread your religion and your trade networks beyond your shores, bring prosperity back to your people, so that they may experience new ways of being unlike any seen before.
== In-Game ==
João III's unique agenda is Navigator's Legacy. He will focus on exploration, likes civilizations who have the same priority, and dislikes those who do not leave their home.
His leader ability is Porta do Cerco. All his units receive +1 , and he has Open Borders with all city-states. He also gains +1 capacity every time he meets a new civilization.
== Detailed Approach ==
A successful Portuguese victory will depend upon building vast trade networks and exploiting coastal tiles. Bear in mind that, for Portugal, international s are limited to those that pass over water, so João will want to build his cities along the coast to maximize potential trading spots. Further, coastal cities can take full advantage of the Navigation School, giving extra towards naval units, extra for coast and lake tiles, and extra points. Portugal will want to explore the map early to find future sites for Portugal’s Unique Infrastructure, the Feitoria, built by Portugal’s Unique Unit, the Nau. Portugal can use its trading profits to fuel any kind of win – steer clear of wars, though; those ports need to stay open for business!
== Lines ==
João III is voiced by Alberto Novo. He speaks very formal European Portuguese, using archaic words and syntax seen only in literature and the pluralis majestatis to refer to himself.

Codename 	Quote (English translation) 	Quote (European Portuguese) 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	Ah, yes. You and I both know the sweet melancholy of the sea. (lit. "Ah, yes. We both know the sweet melancholic humor of the sea.") 	Ah, sim. Nós ambos conhecemos o doce humor merencório do mar. 	
Agenda-based Disapproval	How can you stand to sit on your own shores and not look beyond? (lit. "How can you stand still on your own land and not look further beyond?") 	Como podes ficar quedo da vossa própria terra e não olhar mais além? 	The voice actor mispronounces some words here. The correct phrasing is podeis (formal "you"), not podes (informal "you"); and quedo na ("stand still in"), not quedo da.
Attacked 	What have I done to offend you so? Oh well, it is too late to fix this mistake. How regrettable, that we must go to war. (lit. "What have we done that we have so greatly offended thee? Well, it is too late to fix this mistake. We regret it, but it is necessary to make war.")	Que havemos feito que estejais tão ofendido? Ora, é tarde para corrigir este erro. Lamentamos, mas é mestres fazer a guerra. 	The voice actor mispronounces some words here. The correct phrase is é mester (a very formal and archaic way to say "it is necessary") and not é mestres.
Declares War 	I have declared war against you. I did not want to do this, but I don't want you around anymore, either. (lit. "We have declared war against thee. Although it pains us to do so, we do not want to endure thy presence.") 	Havemos declarado guerra contra vós. Posto que nós pese fazer esto, não queremos sofrer a vossa presença. 	The voice actor mispronounces some words here. The correct phrase is posto que nos pese (a formal way to say "although it pains us") and not posto que nós pese.
Defeated 	I am told that you are the conqueror of Portugal. That may be the reality, but I will never recognize your victory. Begone! (lit. "We were made aware that thou art the conqueror of Portugal. Notwithstanding, we shall never comply with thy victory. Begone!") 	Fizeram-nos saber que sois o conquistador de Portugal. Sem embargo, nós nunca acataremos a vossa vitória. Ide-vos! 	
Greeting 	By grace of God, I am João, King of Portugal. I bid you welcome. (lit. "By the grace of God, we are João, King of Portugal. We bid thee welcome.") 	Pela graça de Deus, nós somos João, Rei de Portugal. Bem-vindos sejais. 	
Quote from Civilopedia 	I am Dom João, by the grace of God, King of Portugal and of Algarves, and of lands overseas, in Africa, lord of Guinea, and lord of the conquest and exploration of, and trade with, Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, and India. 	Dom João, per graça de Deus Rei de Portugal e dos Algarves, d'Aquém e d'Além-Mar em África, Senhor de Guiné e da Conquista, Navegação e Comércio de Etiópia, Arábia, Pérsia e da Índia.

Delegation: The empire of the seas brings you spices from the Indies, silks from China, and gold from Africa. And a little bacalao from home.

Rejects Delegation from Player: You are sending gifts to an over-saturated market. We don't want any.
Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: It will bring me joy to see your sails on the horizon.
Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: It pains me to say no to your friendship, but I must.

Player Accepts Declaration of Friendship: Excellent!
Player Rejects Declaration of Friendship: You make me sad.
Accepts Deal: Done! Deals such as these will allow both of us to flourish.
Denounced by Player: Were you sent by the devil to torment me? Why do you sow such discord wherever you go?
Denounces Player: Why must you be such a blight on the world? Your words are lies, your actions offensive, and your claims are, frankly, excessive.
Invitation to Capital: We have a feast of olive oil and codfish, grilled sardines and castella! Will you come and listen to the fado with me?
Invitation to City: Let us exchange stories about our travels, and of our homes.
