What this is

Ten new playable civilizations for Blockilization, which takes the game from 20 to 30. Each one has an ability, a unique unit, a unique building, a voxel leader bust with its three moods, an emblem, a bot personality, a true start on the Earth map, and a win achievement.

Civ	Leader	Ability	Unique unit	Unique building
America	George Washington	Manifest Destiny: +1 sight for land units, tiles cost half the gold	Minuteman (Musketman, ignores terrain)	Film Studio (Broadcast Tower, +50% tourism)
Spain	Isabella	Seven Cities of Gold: natural wonders yield and cheer twice as much, gold for finding each one (triple for the first finder)	Conquistador (Knight)	Mission (Temple, +2 science)
Siam	Ramkhamhaeng	Father Governs Children: 50% more food, culture and faith from city-state friends	Naresuan's Elephant (Knight)	Wat (University, +3 culture)
Ethiopia	Haile Selassie	Spirit of Adwa: +20% against civs with more cities	Mehal Sefari (Rifleman, +25% in own land)	Stele (Monument, +2 faith)
Celts	Boudicca	Druidic Lore: +1 faith per worked forest	Pictish Warrior (Spearman, +20% abroad)	Ceilidh Hall (Opera House, +3 happiness)
Carthage	Dido	Phoenician Heritage: free Lighthouse in every coastal city it founds, with no upkeep	Quinquereme (Trireme)	Cothon (Lighthouse, +25% naval production)
Poland	Casimir III	Solidarity: a free social policy each new era	Winged Hussar (Lancer)	Ducal Stable (Stable, no upkeep)
Netherlands	William of Orange	Dutch East India Company: +2 gold on sea routes; a luxury traded away keeps half its happiness	Sea Beggar (Privateer, heals ships nearby)	Polder (Water Mill, food from marsh and flood plains)
Polynesia	Kamehameha	Wayfinding: embark and cross the ocean from the start, +1 sight at sea	Maori Warrior (Warrior, Haka: adjacent enemies -10%)	Marae (Shrine, +2 culture)
Denmark	Harald Bluetooth	Viking Fury: one-move embark and landing, +1 move at sea	Berserker (Longswordsman, no penalty attacking from sea or across rivers)	Ring Fortress (Walls, +10 XP for land units)

Rules changes behind these:

• New combat condition vs_more_cities.
• New unit abilities homeland, foreign_lands, haka and amphibious.
• New civ specials, each read through the existing civOf(p).ability.effects.special pattern.
• canEmbark and canCrossOcean are now exported from movement.ts. The bots' planners use them, so Polynesian bots know they can settle overseas early.

Other changes:

• Portraits come from tools/portraits.mjs via node tools/pictures.mjs, which adds 40 PNGs. The existing pictures are unchanged.
• Fix: the effects coverage sweep (tests/sweep.ts) placed six city-states 12 columns apart on a 50-wide map. It crashed already on main and now spaces them 8 apart.

Screenshot or clip

I checked the emblems and busts in static previews while drawing them. I didn't capture the lobby in a browser here, because the 3D page wouldn't render headless. The civ picker is an auto-fill grid, so the extra civs just wrap into more rows.

Checklist

• npm run build passes: tsc --noEmit, check:boundaries, vite build and check:bundle all pass. The wasm was built with --no-opt because the wasm-opt download was blocked here.
• npm run test:headless: I ran only the Blockilization headless tests (build, chat, mp, saves), and they pass. The rules suite (tests/effects.ts) passes 269/269, including a new test for each ability. tests/effects-coverage.ts reports 0 effects never read.
• The game imports only from @platform / @platform/client.
• Names follow the existing civs: historical civilizations and leaders, as with Egypt, Rome and the rest.
• Assets are generated in the repo (voxel busts in tools/portraits.mjs, SVG glyphs in client/icons.ts).
