Age of Empires IV:
THE TAMILS

The dynasties Chera, Chola, and Pandya make up the “Three Crowned Kings” that dominated Southern India and Sri Lanka throughout the Medieval era. They were featured in AOE2 as "The Dravidians". They would be the first Hindu-dominant faction represented in AOE4 if they were included. In this concept the Tamils have a unique age-up mechanic - instead of choosing a landmark to age up with, they pick one of four Temple Complexes, paying homage to the thousands of impressive temples that dot the landscape of the Tamil region. Additionally the Sthapati "Architect" unit enables the Tamils to build structures for free, placing a heavy emphasis on building for the Tamils.
