Champa (Brave New World)

Adds Champa to the base game.

The Cham ruled a collection of Hindu kingdoms that controlled what is today central and southern Vietnam from approximately the 7th century through to 1832, although historical accounts place the direct predecessor of Champa as early as AD 192 in the region. They were unique among the kingdoms of the Indochinese peninsula for being an Austronesian people, and their position on the coast made them integral in mediating international sea trade with China. However, necessity also created an economy supplanted by frequent pirating and raiding of the neighboring Khmer and Vietnamese kingdoms. Reaching its height in the tenth century, Champa then began a gradual decline under pressure from the Dai Viêt until its final territories were fully conquered and annexed in 1832.
