Dutch (Civ4)

The Dutch people represent a civilization in Civilization IV.
== Strategy ==
With bonuses to Production, Culture and Commerce, the Dutch are the most balanced Builder civilization in the game. Willem van Oranje, a "Financial" and "Creative" leader, gives a major boost to Culture and Commerce in every city under his reign, while the Dike, the Dutch replacement for the Levee, provides a Production bonus from any water or river tile in a city radius. Throw in the most powerful transport ship until the discovery of the Transport - the East Indiaman - and you've got a civilization that can spread from horizon to horizon with ease.
The unique unit and building of the Dutch makes them ideal for sea-based empires, and the Financial trait of Willem van Oranje allows him to add to ocean commerce for a good rate of science. The Creative trait means that new coastal cities will expand their borders quickly, and therefore be able to hold even more sea squares.
East Indiamen are ideal for setting up sea colonies abroad due to their higher strength and cargo space - there's also little danger from Privateers as East Indiamen and Privateers have the same strength. This means Willem van Oranje can set up a large, sea-based empire ready for Dikes to come along to vastly improve production.
