Orange Crush (Maratha Mod)
Are you tired of the Orange Horde destroying your game with unhistorical behavior? Do you wish it would act as it did in the 18th century? I believe I have a solution for you. From the trial lab of Imperial Splendour, I give you the Orange Crush!
This mod changes the way Maratha behavior based on historical facts. The Vanilla game did very little to differentiate one faction from another. As a result, Maratha would behave like a European colonial faction. Its focus as been restored to recapturing "India" from the Mughal Empire. My purpose was not to prevent the possibility of the Maratha from capturing most of "India," but to inhibit its growth to allow European powers to arrive. Also, it prevents Maratha from "exploring" outside of "India" and prevents Maratha from sending predatory armies outside their historical interest.
This is the Beta version of the mod, so they may still be some issues. Please report any problems in this thread.

>The mod changes the campagin_ai_personality_ table and the campaign_ai_personality_junction table. This should not be an issue if you place the mod on top.
>Starting with 0.2 BETA I will also make changes to the campaign_ai_behavior_table and the campaign_ai_Behavior_junction_table. If this is placed on top of other mods, it should not conflict.
