Tughlaq Dynasty
The Tughlaq Dynasty are available with the Dynasties of the East expansion. Beginning his rule in 1320, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq quickly established law and order with neighboring governors within the Delhi Sultanate after internal revolts plagued the dynasty from previous leadership failures. Gaining confidence from nobles and officers, he quickly reformed taxes, strengthened military, punished corrupt officials, and commanded the construction of the mighty Tughlaqabad Fort before his death in 1325.
The Tughlaq Dynasty lays the framework for victory with Worker Elephants that provide a mobile drop-off for all resources. With the construction of each Tughlaqabad Fort, you can appoint a governor to activate unique bonuses and answer the Sultan’s call. Raise a fearsome army with three new elephants that show the true power of the mighty Tughlaqabad Dynasty.
Playing the Tughlaq Dynasty
Worker Elephants and Villagers have a great working relationship and Tughlaq Dynasty economy kicks off with a bonus to resources when Villagers drop off at Worker Elephants. As Villager walking time becomes too great, the Worker Elephants can freely move around to help take the load off.
The Tughlaq Dynasty provides near instantaneous research times on most technologies for a higher price. Stay ahead of enemies by researching quickly and trampling through defensive lines with Raider Elephants. Produce the Healer Elephant from Mosques to reinforce the front line and heal two units simultaneously. Tear through multiple lines of enemies with Ballista Elephants from the Siege Workshop.
Establish Tughlaqabad Forts in key locations and assume region control by appointing governors that unlock special bonuses to economy, military, and religion.
