UDASI
UDASI: Udasi Temple | Age of Empires Series Wiki | Fandom
Overview
Pretty mediocre minor civilization with pretty uninteresting and situational effects. The focus is giving them much more variety while adapting sikh culture and applying to both the unit and the lore.
NEW TECHS
-
Langar (150f, 150c): Sikh community kitchen provides a steady income of food to your people
New Effect: Gives a trickle 1.2 food/s. For each Udasi Temple you control increase this food trickle by 0.6 food.
Why: I had made one like this, but for coin. This one promotes the maintainance of the alliance (1.8f) since it provides less income if you lose their trading post. It cost food so you can only see the benefit quite some time after .
Lore: “A langar is the community kitchen of a gurdwara (place of assembly and worship for Sikhs), which serves meals to all free of charge, regardless of religion, caste, gender, economic status, or ethnicity. The meals served at a langar are always vegetarian.”

Udasi Science of Weapons (200w, 200c): Build this alliance so the Sikh can set up bootcamps and train your army more efficiently.
New Effect: Ships 2 military rickshaws (builds barracks, stables, War Hut…). Train time of all military units -5%.
Why:This technology promotes the discipline and respect of Shastar Vidya. Udasi also lacks military improvements, so this one is pretty straightforward and attractive to any civilization.
Lore: “Sanatan Shastar Vidya” is a centuries-old Indian battlefield art which translates to “the science of weapons”. Since the mid-16th century, the Sikh tribes of the Punjab became the chief custodians and masters of this fighting system. In North India it is believed that this art is the father of all martial arts. Shastar Vidya

Gatka (250w, 250c): Sikh martial arts are taught to your soldiers.
New Effect: All land Siege Units cost -10% wood and do 20% more siege damage. Siege troopers also gain 20% more HP.
Why: Siege unit is a class rare to be mentioned in natives sites, specially siege troopers. Chakram is one of the few siege troopers in the game and the only one belonging to a native site, therefore they gain an extra buff.
Lore: "Gatka is a form of martial art associated primarily with the Sikhs of the Punjab and other related ethnic groups. It has been handed down in an unbroken lineage of Ustads (masters), and taught in many akharas (arenas) around the world.
Gatka was employed in the Sikh wars and has been thoroughly battle tested. It originates from the need to defend dharam (righteousness), but is also based on the unification of the spirit and body (miri piri). It is, therefore, generally considered to be both a spiritual and physical practise. Shastar Vidya

Punjabi New Year: Villagers gather from Mills, Farms, Rice Paddies, and Plantations 10% faster; Livestock fattens 10% faster when tasked to Livestock Pens, Farms, and Villages;
New Effect: Also: crates deliver 10% more resources. Cost goes up to 250f, 250c.
Why This technology is not impressive at all. Having “+10%” for something else.
