Well, one fast civ concept:

Tamil/Chola/Dravidians

  • Receive two free vills when advancing to the next Age from each TC and 1 (or 2) for each TC built in Castle Age/Imperial Age.
  • Free War Galley upgrade
  • Can build storages (merged drop-off site) which replace lumber camp, mining camp and mill. Can research lumber camp, mining camp and mill technologies.
  • Elite Battle Elephant upgrade cheaper and researched faster

Castle UU: Flail Elephant: Anti Cav Elephant. Pretty cheap but weak too. Kinda like a unit inbetween a Camel and a Battle Elephant. Alternativelly Bombard Elephant. A sturdier Bombard cannon which would be weak against Halbs instead of the Light cav line.
Second UU: Monk Elephant (Name WIP): 100g 100f. Slower but sturdier monk. Stronger vs Light Cav line but weak against Light Cav Can carry relics.

Team bonus: Caravan free

Castle Age UT (Name WIP): Galley line +1 range (Tech tree includes Bracer, so the Chola would have the Longbows of the Sea)
Imperial UT (Name WIP): Battle Elephants regenerate health slowly. Maybe a second bonus on top of that idk.

Architecture set: South Asian
Wonder: Brihadisvara Temple from Indians and the Indians would get the Gol Gumbaz back. Alternativelly, without wonder switch, Meenakshi Temple

I would love it, if the next expansion would focus on India.

Elephants ftw, i used to only play elephant civs and my fave strat is still War eles and xbows

we need more elephants, like shotel elephants (can work for many types of civs), and flail elephants (for an oriya civ)

new elephant civs could be deccani, hindustani, tamils, oriya, afghans, and siamese

funny thing is last week i thought of a bonus like this for the tamils to mimic india’s bonus, however it was only 1 free vill

I don’t get the purpose of an anti-cav elephants when battle eles already beat cav if said cav chooses to engage also ngl ur civ would be used as a naval civ 100% of the time

it would be so cool if eles could knock down horses or at least push them out if the way. never should an ele be blocked or have to path around an enemy cav unit, especially if its by itself. large numbers yeah, but even still if surrounded by a single line of cav an ele could knock one out of the way and still escape.

perhaps a new collision model is needed?

also i think eles should get a bonus against regular and palisade gates(not fortified, prolly not regular walls either). just seems like a regular stone gate wouldnt be the most formidable obstacle for a few eles.

also might be cool if the huntable eles could also attack buildings(never seen a predator animal attack a building) might be interesting dynamic to see an ele a player tried to lure go postal and start smashing dowm dark age houses and such.

It would be faster and cheaper. Elephant Gunner, Elephant Coustilier, Conversion immune elephants could be other ideas too. There’s a lot to explore.

The real question is, how much food should each have? 50? Maybe less?

How about 40?

I think both of us prefer to eat neither of those things.
