Here are the civ bonuses for the Southern Chinese civ in my mod on the original AOC (Age of Conquerors) expansion:

Start with two extra villagers, but -100 food (To reflect the fact that historically this region had quite a lot of population)

Fish traps are 50% cheaper (People in this region had been using fishing tools since the Neolithic period, and by the Middle Ages they had already developed sophisticated fishing equipment)

The cost of researching Conscription and Chemistry is also 50% cheaper (To reflect the fact that it is a infantry and gunpowder civ)

Barracks units +1 pierce armor per age, starting from the Feudal Age (I know this is a Malian bonus in the African Kingdoms expansion, but since my mod is based on the original AOC and there is no Malians in the game, this shouldn't be a problem. This bonus is actually quite suitable for the Southern Chinese, who historically had used many types of arrow-resistant armors such as paper armor, lacquered leather armor, and rattan armor)

Petards gain +20 hp and +20 bonus damage against cavalry units (To reflect the fact that they were the first to develop gunpowder explosives and also the first to invent landmine)
