Taksashila Tribute

[kdrakak]

Cool script for Taxila! Tribute to the Mauryan empire every now and again and I am not sure how much... but cool campaign parameter.
Since there is still no way to just refuse to pay I wonder what triggers the rejection (since it's also a victory condition)?

How many rounds have you played? Generally, an event should occurr in around 268 BC (The year when Asoka became emperor), where you have to make a choice.

You should get the option each year to accept or refuse the tribute. You don't?

Edit: Nevermind, Mith knows better than me.

I had some plans on revisions of it for the 2nd release, that might include some changes to that effect. However in the first release, that is not the case, as far as I am aware.

I'm playing and I get prompted each turn whether I want to leave the empire

[kdrakak]

As soon as it got to be 268 I got a choice. Mauryans are serious about this... as one would expect. This perhaps makes it a better strategy to expand west first and then east so that the big army of elephantian family members is amassed to the easternmost settlement at Sagala (is that right?) to defeat the Mauryans and assert independence.... sorry Asoka... it's a VC....

I am curious... how does the allied army from Asoka appear if you come under attack. For example if Bactria attacks you in Paropamisadai then it would take a good 4-5 turns before any Mauryan army could reach the western part of the Taxilan state....

[Mithridates VI Eupator]

It is not a rebel army that appears, as that would be hostile to you too. The Mauryan military assistance is in the form of units being gifted to the player.

By the way, I take it that you declared independence? What has the Mauryan army done so far?
