One thing you forgot to mention about the Mbanza: An Mbanza will still count as wood/rainforest tile for adjacancy. This comes pretty handy with campus districts, since you can have an double adj. bonus.

I feel like you underrated Kongo. At least in Science Kongo is a very viable civilization. The fact that you spawn in rainforest and you will always get campuses as your first districts means you often get a headstart and as you progress in the game your theatre squares will give you so much food, gold and production that building science infrastructure is easy. Apart from Greece and Aztecs Kongo was my fastest science win on Deity. Faster than Korea. Just because of how much extra yields I got.

I have done the impossible. I won a religious victory with Mvemba. I played with five groups each with two civs. My friend played Saladin and I were playing Mvemba. He founded the religion and I spreaded the heck out of it with my apostels.

I just did the same thing. A friend wanted to start another multiplayer game, and he still didn't fully understand the religious mechanics, so I suggested that we play as a team and go for a religious victory, except that I would play as Mvemba. That way, I could walk him through it, but he would have to do all of the actual work. Previously I had joked about "Chuck Norris can win a religious victory as Mvemba", so this became the first impossible "Chuck Norris" joke I made that I ended up actually doing myself. Now if only I could find a way to hit a walk-off home run in a baseball game as part of the road team...

There is also a bug in the game whereby if Mbemba conquers a city with a holy site, the district disappears but it's temple remains and can be used to store relics. This provides a huge incentive to keep conquering.

The Food/Prod/Gold bonus benifits from themeing is amazing. It also benifits from themeing in British Archelogical Museums. Nothing like a 48 Food/Prod city from just artifacts. compounded with 80+ gold from the same arche museum.
@TheSwiftFalcon

Kongo is one of my favorite civs. One of their themes is getting fantastic passive yields. The bonus yields from artifacts doubles with theming, so a fully themed Archeological Museum will give your city a whopping +12 food +12 production and +24 gold. Mbanzas can be spammed and each will give you a nice +2 food +4 gold a piece. That's a decent yield for a tile, even before you consider the housing and the fact that you do not need to actually work it to get the yield.

This, indeed. Just finished a game on KING difficulty and my start wasn't very good. Theming everything got me such a boost in production, it was incredible. I my capital, I started building wonders because I basically had built everything else already. And the gold, oh my, the gold. This civ should be ranked higher than C, that's for sure.

Science is a B I think mainly because of being able to get high population. Mvemba is one of few civs that can build tall and still have great yields. If you focus on science ( I'd still focus on culture) you can get great yields especially with audience chamber and Pingala. I'm not saying its great but it can be kind of good if played right.

They were my 4th fastest cultural victory I believe (after Greece, Australia, and Russia in that order), they really should be S tier. Edit: Actually they may be 5th as I think my Pedro/Brazil victory was faster. Don't be afraid to go wide. Yeah sometimes amenities aren't easy to get, but do they really matter for cultural victory? Slotting those great people are more important than increased yields when going for cultural victory. Not to mention those slotted great people will give you the culture you are losing from less happy cities.

If Mvemba can't get an S in culture, then who will? He is maybe the best one out there and he even gets extra slots for great works in his capital. Nobody else gets extra slots in anything (well england did but it got replaced because Eleanor would have been too OP with them), so I don't see how it can be counted as a minus for him. You just have to go wide like always with culture.
