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.
