Tibetans

Wedged between the great empires of Asia and lacking in fertile land, the people of the Himalayas have long struggled to survive. However, their past hardships have only made them a stronger people; on the very roof of the world, a new kingdom has arisen. Harness your people's religious fervour as you build your own empire! Use your native hills to shatter opposing forces until the people of the mountain reign supreme!
