Empires Ii Rise Of The Rajas - Age Of

Perhaps the most radical design choice in the expansion was the Khmer. Historically based on the Khmer Empire (modern-day Cambodia), famous for Angkor Wat, this civilization completely broke one of the fundamental rules of Age of Empires II : building requirements. The Khmer do not need to build prerequisite buildings to advance. Players do not need a Barracks to build an Archery Range, nor a Blacksmith to build a University. This allows for incredibly fast "boom" strategies or deadly rush tactics. Their unique unit, the Ballista Elephant , is a heavy cavalry unit that fires bolts in a line, dealing damage to multiple units. It is slow but packs a massive punch, embodying the "Siege Elephant" tactics of the region.
