Kshatriyas food-efficient army plan
Kshatriyas reduces food costs across Gurjara military production, helping the civilization field more units from the same food economy. Spend the savings on the lines that exploit Gurjara mobility and avoid overstating the value of unsupported upgrades.
Overview
Kshatriyas reduces food costs across Gurjara military production, helping the civilization field more units from the same food economy. Spend the savings on the lines that exploit Gurjara mobility and avoid overstating the value of unsupported upgrades.
Plan and execution
Research Kshatriyas when you plan sustained production of Gurjara cavalry or Chakram Throwers. Use the food savings to maintain Villager production and keep several military queues active, then pair cheaper mounted units with ranged support against the opponent’s main composition. Build a composition around numbers and timing, with gold spent on the units that most need it.
Risks and adaptation
The discount does not grant missing upgrades, so Gurjara forces can still struggle in trash wars or against specific counters. Do not overproduce one line; use scouting and add the right supporting units.
