My walkthrough of how to play as the Delhi Sultanate
The Delhi Sultanate in Age of Empires 4 focuses on technological advancement and strong defense. Here's a breakdown of their unique units and technologies:
Unique Units
Scholar: The Scholar acts like a monk for other civilizations, but with a key difference. They can't convert enemies but instead focus on research. Scholars speed up research and technology upgrades, making the Delhi Sultanate a powerhouse in the late game.
War Elephant: This powerful melee unit boasts high health and deals significant damage to both units and structures. They're a crucial part of the Delhi Sultanate's late-game army.
Tower War Elephant: An even more devastating unit, the Tower War Elephant combines the power of the War Elephant with ranged attackers. Two archers mounted on a tower fire upon enemies, making them effective against both infantry and archers.
Unique Technologies
The Delhi Sultanate has all the standard technologies available in the game, but with one key twist: all their technologies are free! However, they take significantly longer to research. This is where Scholars come in - by having them research technologies, you can significantly reduce research times.
Sustained Research: This technology unlocks the ability to build Madrasas, which are religious buildings that generate gold and further reduce research times.
Royal Arsenal: This technology upgrades all units with Black Powder weapons, making them more effective.
Gharana: This technology unlocks the ability to train War Elephants.
By strategically using their unique units and technologies, the Delhi Sultanate can become a powerful force on the battlefield. Their focus on research allows them to develop a strong army with advanced weaponry, while their Scholars ensure they can get those upgrades faster than their opponents.
