Civilopedia Entry: "Long regarded as a hero of the Philippines, José Rizal was a passionate defender of the dignity and autonomy of Filipinos. He first gained his reputation as a political activist in Europe, criticizing the Spanish rule of his homeland, and though he advocated for peaceful reform and equal rights, Rizal was eventually tried and executed by the Spanish. Yet his revolutionary spirit could not be contained, and has inspired Filipinos ever since."

Dr. José Rizal is quite possibly the most misunderstood and underestimated leader in the game. I wouldn't say he's S tier, but he's certainly not a weak leader. With this guide, I hope to pull back the curtain and demonstrate why José Rizal is stronger than most people realize and why you should consider him for your next game. This guide will lean heavily into maximizing efficiency of his abilities by triggering as many narrative events as possible, while being in a celebration 100% of the time.

I feel I need to establish the guiding principles that this guide is based on. This guide is assuming that you are playing on Standard speed, with Standard length ages.

The scaling between different age lengths and game speeds is very inconsistent, completely negating weaknesses in some cases, and greatly amplifying strengths in other cases. The game seems to be best balanced around Standard speed, and for that reason, I recommend sticking to Standard Speed and Standard Age length to get the best experience.

Pambansang Bayani (National Hero): When gaining rewards from a Narrative Event, gain 20 Culture and Gold per Age. Increased Celebration duration (+50%) and Happiness (+50%) towards Celebrations. Has additional Narrative Events.

Attributes:

• Diplomatic
  
• Cultural

Start Bias:

• Tropical

Let's unwrap this and what all of these things mean, starting with the first ability.

The first part is obvious, narrative events will trigger throughout the game, granting you a choice of reward. Whenever you gain these rewards, you will also gain 20 Culture and Gold (per age). It's important to make this distinction now to avoid any confusion. Goody Huts are NOT counted as narrative events for the purpose of this ability. They may look similar to narrative events, and they even say "Narrative Choice" when cycling through your turn's actions, but they do not count for this ability. Despite this, there are hundreds of events in the game you can trigger, and this ability can generate a lot of culture and gold by the end of the age.


Increased Celebration Duration is incredibly strong, even if it might not seem so at first. Each celebration begins when you generate enough happiness to trigger it. Normally a celebration will trigger and grant you a bonus for 10 turns. For Dr. Rizal, you will gain this bonus for 15 turns. While you are in a celebration, any extra happiness you generate while in the celebration is accumulated and applied to the next celebration. For José Rizal, it is very likely that you will be chaining celebrations back to back for the entire age. Other leaders may be able to chain celebrations together from the start of the age, but they tend to fall off later in the age and have more downtime of not being in a celebration. This is because each celebration costs more happiness than the previous one. While it is true that it is possible to have more celebrations with certain leaders, they tend to not have 100% uptime like José Rizal has (unless you're playing Ashoka with Maurya).

Your yields are highest in the late game, after you've constructed your buildings, so having 100% uptime of celebrations in the late game will be a major advantage over everyone else.

+50% happiness towards celebrations is very nice. Note that this only applies toward celebrations. This does not increase the happiness of individual cities and towns. You will not be able to use this to mitigate penalties for war weariness or going over the settlement limit.

José Rizal has the Diplomatic and Cultural attributes. This does two things:

First, these attributes will define which diplomatic endeavors you are allowed to send to other civilizations. Cultural, Diplomatic allows José Rizal to send the following endeavors:


The other thing that your leader's attributes defines is which Narrative Events you will be given for increasing your attribute points. There are 6 "Attribute Narrative Events" (one for each attribute). In order to qualify for the event, either your leader or your civilization must have the associated attribute, and you must complete the trigger requirement to trigger the event. As José Rizal has Cultural and Diplomatic, you will be eligible for the Cultural Point and Diplomatic Point narrative events.

A leader's start bias just means they have a higher chance to start in that terrain. José Rizal has a higher chance of starting in Tropical terrain, so you should plan accordingly. This isn't a guarantee and you could still start in the Tundra or Desert. The game still takes your civilization's start bias into account as well.

For Antiquity Age mementos, I have found that the best thing to do regardless of civ/leader choice is to heavily focus on your early game. There are some cheeky combos you can do, but the advantage you get from fast expansion is superior to anything else. Later ages open up a lot more possiblities, but there are still a few decent options for Antiquity.

The combo with the most consistency for a strong start is the Groma+Gold and Sapphire Flowers combo. The strategy here is simple. Turn 1 settle, then spend your expansionist point. Your capital will receive a huge boost of food and you will grow to 5 population in just a few turns. You can then immediately start building settlers and expand toward production resources to snowball.


Another good strategy is to dip into a mid/late game focused memento, while maintaining a strong start by choosing Lydian Lion as one of your starting mementos. This will allow you to purchase a settler immediately, as soon as your capital grows to 5 population. You still expand toward production resources, just slightly slower than Groma+Gold and Sapphire Flowers.


Combine this memento with one of the following for a more mid/late game focused strategy:


Treaty of Kadesh - Good for a city state focused game. You can immediately grab the 2nd point in Diplomatic after your first suzerain, then all future suzerains will be cheaper. You can then convert this into a science and culture bonus when you get your 3rd Diplomatic point later in the age

Merchant's Saddle - This is a strong memento for anyone, but has a nice boon for José Rizal in particular. This will get you more goody huts, help your scouts escape hostile independents, but most importantly, it will help you meet all civs faster, which completes your narrative quest faster, which gives you more culture earlier from your ability.

Silk Uttariya - Another strong memento for everyone. Your cities should all be positive happiness because you always want to be working toward 100% celebration uptime, so this is effecitvely just +2 production in all cities.

Wampum Belt - Converts your early game city state suzerainship into late game production and snowballs you into the late game. Very strong.

Shisa Necklace - Helps you to diversify your diplomacy game. This allows you to have more influence available for supporting endeavors by refunding a portion of the amount you spend on suzerain dipomatic actions.

Lion Capital - For a militaristic focused game. Since you will be in a celebration 100% of the time, you will always have the 50% XP bonus.

José Rizal's strength is in maximizing Celebration uptime, not number of celebrations. You can generate more happiness with other leaders, but with José Rizal, you don't have to. You get the same benefit as them, for less. You may end up with less policy slots, but it's very easy to have 100% Celebration uptime, whereas other leaders need to focus on stacking happiness to achieve the same result. José Rizal's Celebrations last for 15 turns whereas everyone else's Celebrations last for 10 turns.

In order to understand the strength of José Rizal's ability, we must understand how happiness and celebrations work, at a deep level. First, we must separate happiness into three categories: Settlement Happiness, Happiness Per Turn, and Lifetime Happiness. Then we can understand how it applies to celebrations and how to maximize benefit of José Rizal's Happiness and Celebration bonuses.

Happiness that you generate in the settlement by settling on fresh water, working tiles that yield happiness, building happiness buildings, slotting policies that give happiness bonuses on tiles, etc applies happiness to that settlement. The settlement loses happiness by constructing buildings that have a happiness maintenance, war weariness, going over the settlement cap, etc. The happiness yields and penalties are added together to give a final happiness value for that settlement. If the settlement has a positive value, this value is added to your Happiness Per Turn. If the settlement has negative happiness, it doesn't remove anything from your Happiness Per Turn. It simply adds +0.

The value you see at the top of your screen is your happiness per turn. This number is derived by simply adding up the positive happiness from each individual settlement. Again, settlements with a negative happiness, do not subtract from this value, they simply add +0 to your Happiness Per Turn. This is also where José Rizal's +50% bonus Happiness Toward Celebrations is applied. His ability does not apply happiness to settlements at all. It only applies toward Celebrations.

Lifetime Happiness is the amount of happiness that you have generated over the course of the entire age. This is also where one-time awards of happiness are applied that you get from Goody Huts and Narrative Events. For example, when you select the happiness reward from a goody hut, that happiness does not apply to your settlements at all, it is applied to your Lifetime Happiness.

The amount of happiness needed to enter a Celebration is known as your Happiness Threshold. Once your Lifetime Happiness meets your Happiness Threshold, you enter a Celebration. Your threshold is then increased and you must generate even more happiness to hit the next celebration. If you can generate enough happiness to keep up with the threshold increases, you are able to stay in a Celebration 100% of the time.

The following table shows the antiquity age happiness thresholds, and how much happiness you must generate per turn to meet the threshold before the current celebration ends and trigger a new one. For example, once you trigger Celebration 1, you must generate 24 happiness (or 35 happiness as other leaders) per turn in order to trigger celebration 2 before Celebration 1 ends.

*Note: I'm not sure why celebration 12's threshold has a smaller increase, but this is the value that the game uses. I've never seen celebration 13 before the age ends, so not sure what the next threshold is.

The exploration age is where José Rizal's +50% celebration duration really starts to take off. Most civs/leaders can't hope to keep up with the happiness threshold increases in Exploration, though there are some that can. José Rizal just does it with less effort, so you can focus your efforts on other things besides happiness.


IMPORTANT: If you use an effect that instantly gives you a celebration, it does NOT increase your Lifetime Happiness to meet the threshold. It simply starts the celebration and increases your threshold to the next tier. Use these abilities wisely. If you trigger extra celebrations using these special abilities, you could increase your threshold faster than you can keep up, and you will spend more turns not celebrating.

When choosing a civilization, we are looking at the civilizations that will synergize most with José Rizal's abilities. Particularly, we are looking for civilizations that have a lot of narrative events. Every civilization has narrative events tied specifically to them, some more than others. There is one thing, however, that clearly sets some civs apart from the rest when it comes to narrative events: Great People. The civilizations that have great people, have a lot more narrative events than the other civilizations, because Great People trigger narrative events, in addition to the narrative events each civ already gets. This leaves us with 3 preferred civilizations with 3 distinct playstyles for the game you are looking to play:
Egypt - Cultural (with a minor focus on Economic)
Greece - Diplomatic (with a minor focus on Cultural)
Han - Scientific (with a minor focus on Diplomacy)

Cultural/Economic
Highlights:
- Great People (more narrative events)
- Bonus Wonder Production
- Strong Defense (Medjay)

Cultural/Diplomatic
Highlights:
- Great People (more narrative events)
- Bonus Influence
- Reduced Influence costs
- Solid Infantry

Diplomatic/Scientific
Highlights:
- Great People (more narrative events)
- Strong Defense (Chu-ko-nu)
- Great Wall
- Bonus Influence

Cultural/Militaristic
Highlights:
- Solid Infantry
- Well rounded Civilization that can adapt to many strategies
- Synergizes well with José Rizal's militaristic quest chain

I will also discuss the "strategic choice" civilizations that the game recommends pairing with José Rizal. These are objectively good civilizations, but not my preferred choice when playing him, because they don't synergize with his abilities particularly well. They are just strong civilizations, so they are good for everyone.

The game recommends pairing José Rizal with the Maya. Here's the thing, everyone is good with Maya. They don't really synergize with José Rizal's abilities, they are just incredibly overpowered. I am going to skip over Maya for now because I don't find it particularly engaging to play as them in their current state. Maybe once they are rebalanced to be more in line with the other civs, I will revisit this and analyze a José Rizal and Maya pairing. They were recently nerfed, but they are still arguably the strongest civilization in the game. The basic strategy is to build as many unique quarters as possible, and immediately tech into Villas and Arenas. Build them everywhere and slot in the policies that give you bonus culture and science on happiness buildings.

The other civilization the game recommends is Mississipians. This can be good for giving you ways to generate gold, as Mississipians are great for gold generation. One drawback of José Rizal is that you will prefer working tiles that yield happiness instead of gold, and so you will end up with less gold as a result. Mississipians can cover this weakness, but I prefer Egypt due to the additional narrative events and culture synergy. The basic strategy is to slot "Shell Tempered Pottery", then snowball your way to 200 gold per turn.

Many Pantheons have events tied to them. Choosing a Pantheon that grants an event will award bonus culture and gold just like any other narrative event.

There are many narrative events, and with each one you complete, you will gain 20 culture and gold (per age). Remember, GOODY HUTS ARE NOT NARRATIVE EVENTS. You will not get bonus culture and gold for collecting goody huts (unless the goody hut awards culture or gold of course).


If your leader or civilization has the associated attribute, and you accomplish the associated trigger, you will be given a narrative event that will award a bonus attribute point to the associated attribute. Note that if you complete these actions when neither your leader nor your civilization has the associated attribute, you will not be awarded an attribute point..

This requires some more testing, but it seems like you will only get a point for the first two actions you complete. It doesn't seem like you can combine a leader and civ with 4 different attributes among them and get 4 points.

*Again, your civilization or your leader must possess the associated attribute in order to qualify for the bonus attribute points.

Every leader has a "Leader Quest Chain" available to them in every age. For José Rizal, he receives several quests and these are considered narrative events. That means you are collecting bonus culture and gold for each one you complete.
*Note: You only gain the bonus culture and gold when receiving a reward. So when you accept a quest, or an event just has the option "Story Continues", that will not proc the bonus culture and gold.

Trigger: Turn 3
Start Quest - Meet all Civilizations
Instant Reward (No Quest) - 25 Culture IF YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION, IT WILL SKIP THE NEXT PART OF THE CHAIN. BEWARE!!

Trigger: Accept the Quest from "The Good Doctor and the Rumored Lands"
For each civilization you meet, you will get a narrative event (giving you culture and gold from your leader ability) as well as a choice between 2 bonuses depending on which civilization you met:

*Note: The final civ you meet will not grant a reward, it will just end the quest.

Trigger: Research Writing
Choose one of the following:
Start Quest - Build 2 Libraries - 25 Culture, and can trigger follow-up quest "An Opus"
Start Quest - Produce a Settler - 25 Influence, and can trigger follow-up quest "A Political Quandry"
Instant Reward (No Quest) - 25 Science

*Note: Your choice in this quest will decide which quest you get next. The next 2 quests are exclusive, you cannot get both.

Trigger: Study Literacy (Civic Tree), Complete the "Build 2 libraries" quest
Choose one of the following:
Start Quest - Create 2 trade routes (+1 Cultural Attribute Point)
Instant Reward (No Quest) - +1 Happiness in all settlements

*Note: "An Opus" and "A Political Quandary" are exclusive with each other. You cannot get both quests. Your choice in "Soul of the Land" determines which quest you will get.

Trigger: Have 3 Settlements, Complete the "Produce a Settler" quest
Start Quest - Start 4 Diplomatic Endeavors - +1 Diplomatic Attribute Point
Instant Reward (No Quest) - 1 free ranged unit

*Note: "An Opus" and "A Political Quandary" are exclusive with each other. You cannot get both quests. Your choice in "Soul of the Land" determines which quest you will get.


Trigger: Another Civilization Declares War on you (Does not trigger if you declare the war)
Choose one of the following:
Meet the enemy strength for strength: Free military unit
Try the diplomatic option: 25 Inluence

*Note: Your choice here decides which quest you get next, which will trigger 5 turns later.

Trigger: 5 Turns after War Declaration, if you chose "Meet the enemy, strength for strength"
Reward: 25 Influence

*Note: This quest makes you eligible for "Ever Victorious, Ever Vigilant" and "One Person’s Ruins (are Another’s Spoils)"

Trigger: 5 turns after war declaration, if you chose the diplomatic option
- Reward: +10% Production Toward Wonders in all settlements

Trigger: Conquer a city after triggering "War Rages, Hearts Sink"
Reward: +25% production toward Army Commanders in all cities

*Note: This quest is exclusive with "One Peson's Ruins (are Another’s Spoils)". You cannot complete both.

Trigger: Lose a settlement after triggering "War Rages, Hearts Sink"
Reward: 25 Culture

*Note: This quest is exclusive with "Ever Victorious, Ever Vigilant". You cannot complete both.

Trigger: Be at Peace 25 turns after receiving war declaration
Reward: 50 Happines

Trigger: Still be at war 25 turns after receiving war declaration
Reward: 25 Culture

For your start, your first 10 turns or so will usually be more or less the same regardless of civ. FIrst, you will open up with 2 scouts. If you started in Tropical, you will likely want to start off building 3 scouts. Tropical is in the middle of the map, so you will have more directions to explore. As soon as you hit 5 population, you want to immediately build or buy a settler. If there are no hostiles nearby, you can be greedy and train 2 settlers back to back, but if there are hostiles you will want to train some military units before producing your 2nd settler.

Your goal regardless of civilization should be to get your first settler out by turn 15. This is not a hard and fast rule, it is a goal you should be aiming for. Your start won't always present the perfect opportunity to meet your goals on the exact timeline you want.

When you grow, your yield priority should be Production > Happiness > Culture > Science > Gold > Food. You want to keep your happiness high so that you will stay in a celebration 100% of the time. Whenever you have a growth event, check the happiness thresholds table from earlier in this guide, and look at your happiness per turn to see where you stand. If you are falling short, you will want to grow to happiness tiles if feasible.

Probably my favorite pairing for José Rizal. Han get some amazing Science bonuses as well as extra codices from their narrative events and from great people. Combine that with the bonus culture from José Rizal's ability and you should have no trouble completing both the Science and Culture legacy paths.

Government: Oligarchy
You want Oligarchy becase you need to be building a lot of Great Walls in order to take advantage of the bonus growth. This is not clearly outlined anywhere, but when you build a great wall, it adjusts your city's growth threshold by -1. This means your city counts as having 1 less population for growth purposes, which will make you grow faster. You continue to generate yields on great wall tiles so they are basically like having free population.

Due to how the great wall works, you should prioritize getting to your 3rd ring straight away so that you can take advantage of these free pops. If you grow to all your resources first, your growth will slow down and you will be unable to take advantage of the great wall's free population. Production is king, so grabbing a production resource before growing to the 3rd ring is still optimal.

Pantheon: God of the Forge, Stone Circles
Surprisingly you don't want City Patron Goddess like most civs. Han have their own influence generation and their diplomacy game is very strong without it. Use your pantheon to supplement production.

Civic Path:
Mysticsm > Zhi > Li
It's best to start off with Mysticism and Zhi to get your pantheon and great wall unlocked straight away. If you have a militaristic neighbor that is gearing up for war, you may need to pivot into Discipline and get your commander. Don't get caught unaware. You should still try to get to Zhi first before pivoting into Discipline at least because putting Chu-Ko-Nu on the great wall is an excellent defense.

Tech Path:
(Animal Husbandry > Pottery) or (Pottery > Animal Husbandry) > Writing > Masonry > Writing II > Irrigation > Sailing
You'll want to rush Writing, because you are going for the Li civic. This will give you a policy that grants +1 influence on your library when you build it, making it like a monument, but generating science instead.

This path should take you to around turn 50 or so. From there you will need to decide where to go based on how the game has developed thus far. I would recommend going for the Oracle from here, then finishing out the Han unique civics. Every game is different and throws different challenges at you, so you will have to adapt accordingly.

Completing these events will give you bonus culture and gold, in addition to the reward the event gives.


In addition to the above events, each Great Person (Shì Dàfū) has a narrative event tied to them. However it seems you will not trigger all of them. I'm not sure what causes these events to not trigger. Perhaps there is a cap on how many Great Person events you can trigger per game. This requires further testing, but there is an event tied to each great person.

Greece is an incredibly strong pairing for José Rizal. They are a diplomacy powerhouse, and are second to none when it comes to the City State Suzerain race.

Government: Oligarchy or Classical Republic
Production is king, so Oligarchy is a strong choice. However, Classical Republic can also be a good choice to help with Wonder production. Building Wonders is a huge tempo loss in many cases, because you usually can build 2 or 3 buildings in the time it takes to finish one wonder. Shortening the time you spend building them can soften the blow and actually convert it into a tempo gain because the adjaceny bonuses from the wonder are coming online faster. Ultimately, it is a matter of preference which way you go.

Pantheon: God of the Forge, Stone Circles
Production is king, and Greece has a start bias toward Rough Terrain. Though the production bonus from Stone Circles is more front loaded. God of the Forge will give you a better long term bonus. Ultimately, they are both strong choices. An additonal thing to consider is Greece has a unique event tied to God of the Forge, which can net you some extra culture. You trigger this event by having a building get damaged by a volcano eruption.

Civic Path:
Mysticsm > Agoge > Public Life > Ekklesia
Getting your Pantheon online for the bonus production is paramount. You will then want to immediately go into Agoge and find a good rough tile to place your Parthenon to get your City State Suzerainship game going. From there, going for Oracle is a strong next step. Though if you have a militaristic neighbor, you may need to pivot into Discipline first.

Tech Path:
Pottery > Animal Husbandry > Masonry > Writing > Writing II > Irrigation > Sailing
Greece has rough start bias, so you will likely want to rush Masonry in order to fully benefit from mines. Since you'll be rushing Masonry, you might as well rush the monument and get that extra inflluence as early as possible. Every little bit helps.

This path should take you to about turn 50 or so. From there you will have to adapt based on how the game has gone so far. You should look to Suzerain as many Independents as possible and rack up those city state bonuses. You should go for a 2nd Diplomatic attribute point by choosing the "Create a Settler" quest in José Rizal's Leader Quest Chain. This will allow you to double up on Influence cost reductions for Befriending Independents (Stacking the 50% cost reduction from the Diplomatic Point tree, and the Greece Tradition Xenia).

Greece Narrative Events

In addition to the above events, each Great Person (Logios) has a narrative event tied to them. However it seems you will not trigger all of them. I'm not sure what causes these events to not trigger. Perhaps there is a cap on how many Great Person events you can trigger per game. This requires further testing, but there is an event tied to each great person.

Egypt is a good choice if you want to go all in on Culture and Wonder production. The focus on navigable rivers is not very optimal, however the one thing they are really good at is churning out Wonders. And that's exactly what we're going to do.

Government: Classical Republic
Building Wonders is a huge tempo loss in many cases, because you usually can build 2 or 3 buildings in the time it takes to finish one wonder. Shortening the time you spend building them can soften the blow and actually convert it into a tempo gain because the adjaceny bonuses from the wonder are coming online faster. With Egypt we have multiple bonuses pushing us toward building wonders, so we're going all in on Wonder Production to minimize the build time as much as possible.

Pantheon: Monument to the Gods
We're going all in on Wonder Production. So we're taking wonder production bonuses wherever we can. Don't even think about the others. We want to build as many wonders as possible, as fast as possible.

Civic Path:
Mysticsm > Scales of Anubis > Arrival of Hapi
Like anyone else, getting your Pantheon online is very important. Ideally, you want to have your unique quarter built before you start building wonders to rake in that extra gold. However, sometimes you will have a militaristic neighbor that forces you to go discipline first.

Tech Path:
(Animal Husbandry > Pottery) or (Pottery > Animal Husbandry) > Writing > Masonry > Writing II > Irrigation > Sailing
As Egypt, we're going to be building a lot of wonders, so we want to rush Writing and build the Great Stele. If we're going to be building wonders, we might as well get paid while doing it.

This path should take you to about turn 50 or so. From there you will have to adapt based on how the game has gone so far. For your leader quest, you should choose the build 2 libraries option. This awards you a Cultural point (from the follow up quest "An Opus"), which should be your 2nd Cultural point, allowing you to choose the +10% production toward wonders.

If you have a warmongering neighbor that declares war on you, make sure to choose the diplomatic option in José Rizal's leader quest, as this will award you with another 10% production toward wonders. Combining bonuses you have 15 (Classical Republic) + 15 (Riches of the Duat) + 10 (Monument to the Gods) + 10 (José Rizal war event) +10 (Cultural Attritbute Tree) = 60% bonus production toward wonders. Your next step should be to build the Oracle, so you will get even more culture when completing events. Then build every wonder you can. A few Great People grant a one-time production boost to a wonder under construction, so don't ignore training these early in case you get one.

Egypt Narrative Events

In addition to the above events, each Great Person (Tjaty) has a narrative event tied to them. However it seems you will not trigger all of them. I'm not sure what causes these events to not trigger. Perhaps there is a cap on how many Great Person events you can trigger per game. This requires further testing, but there is an event tied to each great person.
