Uh oh....you're gonna be in for it after the Russians go down. Marathas armies are well-balanced with musket-armed infantry, some cav, and a few arty units. Mughal armies are 50% melee troops and 50% artillery (fully teched!), i.e. the most annoying armies to fight in the game, ever. Their armies were not made to win, they were made to take the biggest chunk out of your army before they go.

I made the mistake of supporting Mughals over Marathas once (as Prussia too). By the time I was fighting them (for prestige), they were coming at me with 10-12 units of full-tech artillery. Can you imagine a grand battery of 40 cannon shooting shrapnel shot at your army, it wasn't a pretty sight lol.

Now that is something I'd love to see. Sounds like a great game.

and here I was with 40 territories thinking I'd have nothing left to fight till the end of the game! that sounds exciting! not for my troops of course lol theyll hate me but that does sound fun!

Damn, too late for my GB campaing since I conquered India from Marathas at the same pace they advanced into Mughal territories. I should really try playing Marathas even if everyone says they're way too easy.
To stay in the topic, In my current campaing with Spain French captured Iceland and English owned Denmark in year 1709. Now I'm afraid France will DoW me because I won't trade Savoy or Flanders for Iceland and random tech.

yeah, I had the same experience when fighting them as gb.. I had a superb battle with them once. I had to use the hills as cover and marched half my army around the terrain to attack their flank. Otherwise my boys would not have made their lines on a frontal assault. there were a good 6 or 7 cannons causing havok!
