Strategy[]

They focus on improving the agricultural economy of both coin, food, and livestock buildings. Militarily, they help heroes and their military unit, the Chakram Thrower.

The Udasi temple is a great economic asset. New Punjabi Year allows villagers to be 10% more efficient in collecting from agricultural buildings, and also makes livestock work 10% more efficiently in livestock buildings. This is a plus for civilizations that use livestock a lot (such as the Japanese, Indians, British, Chinese, Haudenosaunee, Hausa, and Ethiopians).

Militarily and economically, they can give heroes a 50% hit point boost with their Sikh Gurus technology, increasing their usefulness, especially in searching and hunting for treasures.

The Chakram Thrower is similar to a Grenadier, and devastates infantry with its area attack and has great resistance at a distance. Range and Line of Sight can be increased by two with the Army of the Pure technology. making it more devastating against infantry.

In general, the Udasi Temple improves the economy in the long term, allowing the player to have stronger heroes, and has a unit that is lethal against infantry and is perfect for a boom strategy and treasure hunting.

History[]

โ€œThis Holy Site is identical to a Native Trade Site. Allying with Natives allows a player to train special Native units, usually warriors, and also grants access to a group of improvements to that tribe. Native units do not cost any population spaces, but can only be built in limited numbers.

The Udasis are members of a Sikh sect that shares many of the same principles as Sikhism, that of a supreme God who governs with justice and grace, and the opportunity of every human being to become one with that God, while renouncing other practices. The very name "udasi" is from the Sanskrit "udas," meaning to renounce.

The Udasi sect was created when the followers of Suri Chand, the son of the very first Sikh guru, Kanek, split from the dominant order of Sikhism. Early Udasis served as Sikh missionaries to the north and east of the Punjab, the Sikh holy land and site of their holiest shrine, the Golden Temple. They insisted that they were in fact Sikh, despite their physical appearance, which did not adhere to the traditional Five K's of the Sikh: a sword, steel bracelet, long shorts, uncut hair, and comb. Other, more drastic differences, such as celibacy and a dedication to ascetic principals, forsaking bodily needs and desires for a disciplined, monastic spirituality, helped to define the sect and set it apart.
