Khmer

The Khmer are the Southeast Asian civilization based on the Khmer Empire. They are featured in Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas as a siege and elephant civilization.

The capital of the Khmer Empire was Angkor, one of the largest pre-industrial city which was inhabited by one million people at its peak. This is reflected by two of their bonuses : villagers can garrison inside house and they don't need to build certain buildings to unlock other buildings for advancing into the next ages. Khmer Empire were known to employ war elephants widely for both tactical and logistical purpose. To reflect this, their Battle Elephant move faster and can be upgraded to deal more damage with Tusk Swords unique technology.

Khmer Empire were also known to employ ballista, a kind of catapult shaped like giant crossbow. This is why they have Team Bonus to increase the attack range of Scorpions. Khmer also possess ballista-carrying unique unit named Ballista Elephant. Furthermore, the number of missiles fired by both Ballista Elephant and Scorpion can be increased with Double Crossbow.
