Gajah Mada (Civ5)

Gajah Mada (c. 1290 AD – 1364 AD), translated as Elephant General, was a powerful military leader and mahapatih or prime minister of the Majapahit Empire, credited with bringing the empire to its peak of glory. He delivered an oath called Sumpah Palapa, in which he vowed not to enjoy the pleasures of the world until he had conquered all of the Southeast Asian archipelago of Nusantara for Majapahit. He leads the Indonesians in Civilization V: Brave New World.
== In-Game ==
Gajah Mada speaks Old Javanese, although there are some words derived from the modern Javanese language in his lines. On his diplomacy screen, he is standing in what appears to be a rice paddy, with kris sword in hand, with dense jungle on low lying hills cloaked in fog with a candi in the background. Gajah Mada's design is clearly based on the statue in front of the Telecommunications Museum in Jakarta, Indonesia, with only a slight difference on the belt.

=== Personality and Behavior ===
Gajah Mada will most often go for a cultural victory.
Gajah Mada likes to expand his empire, and is very keen on building a strong naval fleet and infrastructure. As such, the Indonesians will have some of the better water connections.
Gajah Mada focuses largely on and will spread his religion aggressively.
Apart from his focus on religion, Gajah Mada puts a priority on developing his economy and , as well as . He will also try to build several wonders.
Gajah Mada is one of the bolder leaders, as well as one of the less loyal ones. While he can, at times, be hostile, he is not quite a warmonger. He may also backstab his allies, so befriend him with caution.
Gajah Mada is often protective of city-states, and will also bully them frequently. He will almost never try to conquer them.
On some occasions, Gajah Mada will try to build new cities right next to other players' s, which will allow him to take advantage of his unique ability on certain maps. If your is on an island, be sure to expand your borders so that he cannot get a water connection by your side.

== Trivia ==
* Gajah Mada's rise to prime minister and his famous oath are described in the Nagarakretagama, a lengthy epic eulogy to King Hayam Wuruk which dates to the late 1300s.
* Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi or Gitarja, the queen regent that appointed Gajah Mada as the prime minister of Majapahit, is the Indonesian leader in Civilization VI, available as DLC.
* Gajah Mada's in-game appearance is based on M. Yamin's illustration from 1945, which was then used as the basis for many statues, paintings, and popular media depicting Gajah Mada. There are, however, two major inaccuracies with his appearance:
** His kris has luk (curves) on its blade. This type of kris appeared only in the late Majapahit era and the start of the Demak Sultanate era.
** His heavyset build stems from a misunderstanding of the meaning of "Gajah" (elephant). In modern times it can refer to a fat person, but historically it referred to a strong person.
* Historical records depict Gajah Mada very differently from M. Yamin's illustration. According to Kidung Suṇḍâyana, he wore a golden embossed karambalangan and was armed with a gold-layered spear and a shield decorated with diamonds; and according to an illustration based on archaeologist Agus Aris Munandar's research, he looked similar to Bhima in wayang shadow puppet shows, including a transverse mustache. Oral tradition of the people of Trowulan (the Majapahit capital) supports the latter depiction.
