Bà Triệu (Civ6)

Triệu Thị Trinh (8 November 226 – 4 April 248), better known by the honorific Bà Triệu or Lady Triệu, was a Vietnamese warrior who led an uprising against the Eastern Wu occupation of Vietnam, and afterwards became a popular and highly celebrated folk hero in Vietnamese culture. She leads the Vietnamese in Civilization VI.
Bà Triệu uses her bonuses to unit speed and cheaper Thành districts for an effective defense as she acquires – or as a base from which to launch a Domination Victory.
== Intro ==
 Bà Triệu, your people will remember you as a goddess. Stand against those who would try to rein in your storm, and raise your sword in defiance. Neither family nor foe will hold you back.
== In-Game ==
Bà Triệu's unique agenda is Defender of the Homeland. She likes civilizations that have not declared war on Vietnam, and hates those that have, never forgiving their transgression, as her opinion decreases further each turn the war progresses, and this decreased opinion never decays.
Her leader ability is Drive Out The Aggressors. Her units gain +5 Combat Strength when fighting on Rainforest, Marsh, or Woods tiles, and +1 when they begin their turn on them, both of which are doubled if these tiles are in Vietnamese territory.
== Detailed Approach ==
Vietnam is a tough Civilization to conquer. Where other Civilizations' units get bogged down in tough terrain, Bà Triệu’s military units gain additional movement and defense while in Marshes, Woods, or Rainforest, giving her a clear advantage when fighting in such regions. Additionally, she can build Thành districts without the typical population requirements, providing an extra layer of defense to her homeland and providing additional . While Ba Trieu’s specialty Districts – not including the Thành, which, unlike the Encampment is not a specialty District - are limited to Woods, Rainforest, or Marshes, her Builders can plant forests earlier, freeing new tiles for new Districts. Vietnam is a highly effective defensive Civilization, well-poised to seek military or cultural victories.
== Lines ==
Bà Triệu is voiced by Ha Le Giang. She speaks modern Vietnamese with a northern (Hanoi) accent.
According to Andrew Alan Johnson, the writer of Civilization VI from Firaxis Games, with Bà Triệu's lines they "were going for that 'list of those who have slighted me' feel; a lot of these will be more present in the non-voiced bits. As far as references to Thang Long and Hanoi... yes, they're anachronistic. I love the name, though, of the 'Lake of the Returned Sword,' and love the grandeur of medieval Thang Long. Better than 'Yep, still up here on that mountain, plottin' your murder...' But a hardcore Vietnam history buff will see some anachronisms. Above all, I really didn't want to refer to any American War tropes, as fan service-y as they would feel."https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/language-translations-for-leader-sayings.572324/page-43#post-16014129

Codename 	Quote (English translation) 	Quote (Vietnamese) 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	You have not been plotting my destruction, so I will not plot yours. (lit. "You have never plotted to destroy me, so I will not do that to you.") 	Ngươi chưa từng có âm mưu tiêu diệt ta, nên ta cũng sẽ không làm vậy với ngươi. 	In all of her lines, she uses the pronouns ta for herself and ngươi for the player, indicating she looks down on and is placing herself above the player in her views on social and power rankings.
Agenda-based Disapproval	Vietnam watches you. (lit. "Vietnam is keeping an eye on you.") 	Việt Nam canh chừng ngươi. 	
Attacked 	I have waited for this day for a long time. Today begins the war that will end in your destruction. (lit. "I have waited for this day for a long time. The day the war begins will also be the day of your destruction.") 	Ta đã chờ ngày này từ rất lâu. Ngày cuộc chiến bắt đầu cũng là ngày tàn của ngươi. 	
Declares War 	Now you are at war with Vietnam. Do you hear our trumpets? The thunder of our elephants? They are coming for you! (lit. "You are at war with the army of Vietnam. Do you hear the sounds of the rallying drums? Or perhaps the thunderous roars of the war elephants? Our army is rushing out to battle!") 	Ngươi nghênh chiến với quân đội Việt Nam. Ngươi có nghe thấy tiếng trống giục quân? Tiếng sấm gầm vang của đàn voi thiện chiến chăng? Đoàn quân chúng ta đang ào ào ra trận!	
Defeated 	Do you think you have defeated me? I will ascend to heaven, and become the immortal spirit of our resistance! (lit. "You thought you have defeated me? I will ascend to heaven to become the sacred spirit of the rivers and mountains, never to submit!") 	Ngươi tưởng ngươi đã đánh bại được ta ư? Ta sẽ lên trời để trở thành hồn thiêng sông núi, không bao giờ khuất phục! 	
Greeting 	I am Lady Trieu, the general who wears the golden robe. Welcome to Vietnam. (lit. "I am Lady Trieu, the female general clad in a golden robe. I welcome you to Vietnam.") 	Ta là Triệu Trinh Nương, nữ tướng quân mặc chiếc áo hoàng bào. Ta nghênh đón ngươi đã đến Việt Nam. 	She refers to herself as "Triệu Trinh Nương": Triệu Trinh, as in Triệu Thị Trinh, is her alleged full name, although there was no historical record mentioning this name until the 20th century; and Nương (Sino-Vietnamese for 娘 niáng) means "Lady" or "Miss," an archaic honorific for a young woman.
Quote from Civilopedia 	I only want to ride the wind and walk the waves, slay the big whales of the eastern sea, clean up frontiers, and save the people from drowning. (lit. "I only want to ride the strong wind, walk the fierce waves, slash the whales of the Eastern sea, reclaim the country, establish independence, remove the shackles of serfdom.")	Ta chỉ muốn cưỡi cơn gió mạnh, đạp luồng sóng dữ, chém cá kình ở biển Đông, lấy lại giang sơn, dựng nền độc lập, cởi ách nô lệ. 	According to Viet Nam sử lược (A Brief History of Vietnam), a history book that was written in the early 20th century by Vietnamese historian Trần Trọng Kim, Bà Triệu said these words while on a mountain where she gathered a band of one thousand followers, in response to her brother who tried to dissuade her from rebelling.wikipedia:Lady Triệu#Modern However, the words said in Vietnamese don't exactly match the ones given in different Vietnamese sources.wikipedia:vi:Bà Triệu#Câu_nóiwikisource:vi:Việt Nam sử lược/Quyển I/Phần II/Chương III#47

Invitation to Capital: Welcome to Vietnam! Come and have bird's nest soup in our capital.
Invitation to City: Let me tell you of the citadels of Hanoi, and the dawn mist that clings to the Lake of the Returned Sword.

== Trivia ==
* Bà Triệu's leader ability is part of a famous quote attributed to her - "I'd like to ride storms, kill big whales in the open sea, drive out the aggressors, reconquer the country, undo the ties of serfdom, and never bend my back to be the concubine of whatever man." - while her agenda references her defense of Vietnam against Chinese invaders.
* Having passed away at 21, Bà Triệu is the leader with the shortest lifespan in Civilization VI and its expansions (at least among non-apocryphal leaders with known years of birth and death). The only leader with a shorter lifespan in the entire franchise is Joan d'Arc, the French leader in Civilization III, who died when she was 18-19 years old.
* The multi-pointed star inscribed inside a circle on her armguards and the birds on her belt represent the sun and the mythological lạc birds, the two signature patterns featured frequently in arts of the Dong Son bronze culture, especially on the surface of their eponymous bronze drums.
* Bà Triệu's diplomacy screen shows three stilt houses near a riverbank with some water lilies.
