It may have been partly due to the general - I'm sure that I remember one of the Maratha starting generals has a minus morale modifier, and Hindus aren't that great morale-wise.

i see the problem: you are using hindu musketeers. they are the equivalent of militia. basically, you wil get nowhere fast with them. It is well worth the extra money to maintain armies of bargirs instead.

still, they shouldnt lose to mobs, unless they were drastically outnumbered (4-1), which i doubt, considering that means 8 mob units attacking 1 unit.


perhaps it is a bug for you or something? whenever i clear a building, i always ensure i have greater or equal numbers, and better stats.
