Unique Ability
Grand Barays: cities with an Aqueduct get +1 Amenity and +1 Faith per Population. Farms get +2 Food when adjacent to an Aqueduct, and +1 Faith when adjacent to a Holy Site.
Khmer
Khmer runs one of the most efficient Faith economies in the game, using it not just for religion but to purchase buildings and infrastructure outright.
Unique Unit: Domrey
A war-elephant siege unit effective at both sieging cities and clearing barbarian camps.
Unique Infrastructure
Khmer has no unique building or district — its strength comes entirely from its civilization ability and Domrey.
How to Play Khmer
- Build Holy Sites early even if you are not planning a Religious Victory — the Faith income is useful regardless.
- Use Faith purchases to fill infrastructure gaps in newly settled cities.
- Domrey units are efficient for early game map-clearing, freeing up standard Production for buildings instead.
