Marathas is invading Europe

[Marquis of Roland]

So right now it's 1780 in my Prussia campaign and Marathas control all of India and started attacking west, taking out the Islamic factions, took the eastern half of Russia, and now is about to kill Austria (who were just at war with me so they had no real armies left) by attacking into the Balkans.

Around 1740 Portugal was killed off by Spain, and the Dutch taken out by Westphalia by 1750 (who were also winning a grind-out war with France). Every other faction ignored India, and with Marathas controlling the entire theater, they quickly became more powerful than any other faction.

I am attempting to get a coalition of remaining European factions to go to war with Marathas. Hey, maybe I can get the pope to declare a crusade?

Hope they get more Euro factions to invade India next patch.

Awesome! That is a good development, and interesting change from the inertia of previous versions... in my latest game, the UP took French Guyana and the French took Curacao by Naval Invasion! Austria also recaptured Istanbul/Constantinople for Christendom.

Sounds good!

And alh_p - did they definitely carry out naval invasions or just sell/swap the territories? If they did, that's fantastic news...

Sounds really exciting... I suspect Mughals would have gone the same route in my campaign. Unfortunately for them I was playing British, but before I started grabbing Indian provinces, Mughals had eliminated Marathas, Mysore, absorbed Portuguese holdings and were breathing down Ottoman necks near Armenia.
