Forts can be individually upgraded with Emplacements.
—In-game description

Skandhavaras is a unique technology in Chronicles: Alexander the Great available to the Puru at the Fort upon reaching the Imperial Age. Once researched, it allows Forts to be individually upgraded with emplacements. Adding emplacements also changes the graphics of the Fort.

The player can research only either Skandhavaras or Vedic Teachings. Once either is chosen, the option to research the other is removed.

Effects[]

Each Fort can be permanently upgraded with either or both of the following emplacements:

Trivia[]

  • The name of this technology may refer to a military camp or royal capital.
  • Researching this technology with any civilization other than the Puru will break the graphics of the Fort.
