    I played a campaign as Prussia and by 1735 Maratha had not only conquered India, Persia and Afganistan, but had taken Antigua from the Pirates. By 1740 they actually sailed through the Baltic to land in Courland, destroying them on the turn after they landed. This actually worked out because it gave me an excuse to take Courland without going to war with my immediate neighbors as I built up my defense, but by 1750 any historical realism was long gone.

    Its so obvious, that anyone from CA play-testing the campaign game a few times would have noticed. Makes one wonder about how thoroughly the game was tested before release.

    Maratha aggressiveness is a patch result.
    "Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien

    Yes. Prior to 1.3 or so, they would slowly conquer India and then border feud with Afghanistan and Persia. Now you must be prepared for an invastion no later than 1730 (New World or Old or Both).

    I don't know if I consider them imba on the battlefield though... They die as easily as other men. In my latest campaign they conquered as far as Tunis and Anatolia, plus a bunch of territories in the new world, before declaring war on me in about 1660.

    I gave myself with Britain 10.000.000 florins trying to keep up with Maratha, to defend Mysore which I have conquered. Even with unlimited money, the amount of troops they have can easily defeat my 7 troops a turn that Im recruiting from Mysore.

    I attacked Carnatica - 1900 men vs 1500 men, my men Line Infantry, Heavy Cav and 24pounders +2 mortars. They lost 300 men, I lost 1700.

    What the ....
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.
