The Vietnamese have a campaign devoted to their civilization: Le Loi. Their economy is good, but the lack of a major early game economic bonus makes the Vietnamese vulnerable to rush strategies. The defensive structures are overall good, but the lack of Masonry and Architecture is not helping. Their navy is fair, but the Fast Fire Ship and Shipwright are missing.

Their Battle Elephants, however, get additional HP out of Chatras and therefore have good defensive capabilities. Their infantry and cavalry both miss Blast Furnace, and the latter is especially shallow with other upgrades such as Paladin and Hussar missing. Additionally, their unique unit and team bonus are both foot archers, making the Vietnamese able to pick from a wide variety of different units there. The Vietnamese are an archer civilization with strong emphasis of team support, and their foot archers are excellent soldiers, getting additional HP as well as every upgrade there is.

Because of their team-focused bonuses, the Vietnamese excel better in team game settings than in one-on-one matches (although various buffs in the Definitive Edition make the Vietnamese a decent civilization in one-on-one matches). Gameplay-wise, the Vietnamese function as a " support" civilization in team-games that is more late-game oriented, as they give the most amount of team-related bonuses (revealing enemy Town Centers and giving their allies access to the Imperial Skirmisher upgrade). The Vietnamese are an East Asian civilization introduced in Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas. The Vietnamese' civilization music theme in the Definitive Edition The Vietnamese unique unit is the Rattan Archer, a heavily-armored ranged unit that is effectively impervious to arrow fire. Guide your people to independence by waging guerilla warfare with an extremely powerful arsenal of ranged units. Lead the rebellion against the Chinese Ming Empire and become a Vietnamese hero. The jungles and hills of Vietnam proved as hospitable a home to the locals as they were a formidable obstacle to invaders.
